Police search for missing Redmond woman's killer

REDMOND, Wash. — Police now believe a Redmond woman who disappeared nearly a year ago was slain, and detectives are focusing on three people closest to her in the search for her killer, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

Lorill Sinclaire, a mother and daughter, was last seen Nov. 8, 2011, in the area of the Factoria Mall in Bellevue.

Her mother, Amandah Sinclaire, called Lorill a "wonderful person," "very creative, artistic," who will be greatly missed.

Police are serving search warrants to find out who is responsible. They have three persons of interest: Sinclaire's ex-husband, her former boyfriend and one of his friends, according to records obtained by KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

"Unfortunately, we cannot eliminate them from being involved, but we don't have anything that directly links them," said Jim Bove of the Redmond Police Department.

Family and friends searched for Sinclaire, 48, in the days after she disappeared. They found her car days later in the parking lot of the Mormon temple in Bellevue.

"We're really hoping her friends or family might come forward with information we could follow up on," Bove said.

When asked about the list of persons of interest, Amandah Sinclaire said she has her suspicions, and was quick to defend her former son-in-law.

"The fact is nothing is going to bring her back," she said.

Lorill Sinclaire's body has not been found.

Detectives said she had everything to live for and that she has a 16-year-old son.
