Remains found of woman who vanished 5 years ago after winning $400,000 abuse settlement

The remains of a woman who went missing five years ago have been found by police.

Mary Johnson-Davis was last seen on November 25, 2020, walking on a road in Western Washington as she made her way to a friend's house.

Mary, an Indigenous woman and a member of Washington's Tulalip Tribes, was then reported missing on December 9.

Tragically, Mary has now been confirmed to have died after police discovered human remains a remote area of North Snohomish County on October 31. DNA testing went on to determine that the remains were that of Mary's.

Shawn V. Ledford, Chief of the Tulalip Police Department, said in a statement: "With deep respect for the family and Tulalip community, the Tulalip Police Department is heartbroken to confirm that human remains have been positively identified as Mary Johnson-Davis, a member of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington."

He continued: "Identification was confirmed through DNA analysis conducted by a forensic laboratory, and next of kin have been notified. This case remains an active and ongoing investigation, and the Tulalip Police Department will continue to work in partnership with the family and the FBI.

"Mary’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the community for their assistance and compassion throughout the past five years of searching for Mary, which ultimately led to her being found. We extend our prayers, strength, and healing to Mary’s family, loved ones, and the entire Tulalip community during this difficult time."

The cause of Mary's death is yet to be determined and the Tulalip Tribes and the FBI are offering a combined reward up to $60,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of person(s) responsible for her disappearance.

The discovery of Mary's body comes a year after a documentary looking into her disappearance titled Missing from Fire Trail Road was released.

In the doc, it was revealed that Mary and her sister, Nona Blouin, had been awarded $400,000 each after filing a lawsuit against child protective services and the state of Washington.

Both Mary and Nona allege that they were sexually abused by their foster family after they'd been removed from their family home as kids.

But, according to Nona, Mary's husband (who has not been named) 'stole her money', PEOPLE reported.

"He put it into an account ... [and] didn't leave her nothing. And then he moved to California," Nona claimed.

Mary's husband was previously been named as a person of interest in her disappearance. Authorities did not have enough evidence to detain him, however.
