The woman’s sister called the Kent Police Department on Feb. 14 saying her adult sister, who she described as "severely disabled" had not been seen since earlier in the month, police said in a news release Tuesday.


The investigation found the woman was last seen on Feb. 5 when her mother, 45, parked her vehicle at a gas station in Kent then walked off, with the daughter still in the car.

The car had been privately towed at the request of the gas station personnel, police said.

Police contacted the tow company, which had moved the car to a lot in Burien. The tow company then checked the car and found the daughter inside the vehicle.

“She had been inside the car for nine days alone in the tow yard during near freezing weather,” the Kent Police Department said.

Kent police request medical aid for the woman and the King County Sheriff’s Office and King County Fire responded to the tow yard and found the woman in “serious medical condition”
