SEATTLE -- Detectives from the King County Sheriff’s Office spent hours at the Lynnwood condominium of a woman whose body was found earlier this week, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office said Wednesday that 32-year-old Nicole Pietz was strangled.

Pietz shared her Lynnwood home with her husband.

Police removed boxes of potential evidence from the home Wednesday night. Among the items seized was the couple’s computer.

Investigators said they think no crime was committed at the home, but are hoping some of the items taken from the condominium will lead to her killer.

While police are processing the potential evidence taken from the home, they’re continuing to search for Pietz’s gray 2003 Volkswagen Jetta license plate, 991 TEF.

King County sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said anyone who finds the car should not touch it.

"There could be trace evidence in the car. There could be any kind of evidence in the car," Urquhart said.

Police urged people to call 911 if they spot the missing car.

KIRO-TV reported that the woman’s family said Pietz had an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Renton the morning she disappeared. She was going to be celebrating her eighth anniversary of being sober from prescription drugs. She never made it to the meeting.

Pietz was reported missing on Jan. 28 by her husband. Family and friends launched a search for the woman.

A man walking through the woods in an area of Burien spotted her body about 1 p.m. Monday afternoon. The crime scene is in an isolated area about a quarter mile from a major intersection.

Pietz's friends gathered Wednesday night to remember her, grieve and to comfort each other, reported KIRO-TV.

"All I can think about is her and all the memories we had and what a great person she is, and it's shocking," said Hadley Moulton Mangouras, a friend.

To Mangouras and other friends, Nicole Pietz is Nicole Zurcher, their high school friend. Maiya Black Alward remembers Pietz this way: "She would walk into a room and light it up. She was an amazing girl.”

Mangouras choked back tears, saying, “It hurt so much to see her again in this way, and to hear what happened to her.”
