A Bothell woman found dead in her home Tuesday was killed by homicidal violence, police said Wednesday.
Bothell police called the death suspicious on Tuesday, when the woman, so far not identified, was found inside her home in the 200 block of 240th Street Southwest. That's just southeast of the Canyon Park area in south Snohomish County.
Police have not released any information on suspects. "We have some leads, but I have no information about suspects at this time," said Bothell Police Department Sgt. Cedric Collins.
