Dutton, who is the Thurston County sheriff’s office in charge of the investigation, said: “We have 100% confidence that these people will work really hard to solve this problem because it’s personal for that community.”
She said that police will be organizing a search for Koep, Davido and the community on Sunday.
Dutton stated that Koep “was very involved in the community”, and “worked the same patients for more than 30 years.”
She said, “People want to do something. They want to help.” Koep’s patients “know and love [her], people want to bring her home.”
