Skull in the Basement: The Mountlake Terrace Mystery

Skull in the Basement: The Mountlake Terrace Mystery

In January 2025, a contractor renovating a Mountlake Terrace home discovered a human skull hidden in a basement bucket. No other remains. No identification. Just one of Snohomish County’s newest mysteries.

In this episode, we take you through the investigation — the forensic reconstruction, the search for her identity, and the missing women who have been compared and ruled out, including Sharon “Shari” Christine Anderson, Tracey Elizabeth Brazzel, Laynee Danielle Westbrook, and Susan Walker. Each of their cases is still unsolved.


We’ll also share the story of another unidentified case from March 2024 — a man’s skull found in Lynnwood’s Scriber Lake Park. There is no known connection between the two, but together they highlight how many names remain missing in our region.

You’ll see both reconstructions in our episode notes and on our social media. Someone knows who they are.

Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
