The Redmond Reporter is proud to announce that it will start a new monthly column, titled, “Hey, Traffic Guy, Why?” in the Feb. 12 edition.

Redmond Police Officer Martin Fuller will answer your traffic-related questions. His debut column discusses the issue of distracted drivers and how talking and texting on your cell phone can be much more costly than a $100 cell phone bill.

Officer Fuller has been with the Redmond Police Department for eight years and has worked specifically in the Traffic Division for the last three. He is trained in Technical Collision Investigation and is an Emergency Vehicle Operations Instructor.

It’s been almost a year and Redmond Police Department investigators still have no “firm susupects” in the murder case of Arpana Jinaga, a 24-year-old software engineer who was strangled to death at her Redmond apartment after a 2008 Halloween party, according to Lt. Doug Shepard.

Shepard said there have been several “people of interest” but no of them panned out to be suspects. Despite having no suspects, Shepard is confident the case will be solved.

“On the one hand, yes it is frustrating,” Shepard said of the investigation. “We would like to identify a suspect and put someone in jail, but on the other hand, murder cases can go on for years before you get a break.”

Shepard said that the murder is not a cold case and remains the No. 1 priority of the division.

A full story on the unsolved murder case will be in Friday’s edition. Stay tuned.

Jamie Stevens still remains missing as more detectives have been assigned to the case. The leads are becoming more and more difficult to swallow for Jamie’s parents as they fear the worst. Some leads are pointing to Jamie being involved in drugs and prostitution. The parents also want access to Jamie’s mySpace and Windows Live e-mail passwords, but are hitting a legal roadblock. Below is the latest story on the search for Jamie.

The search for a missing Redmond High student continues as more investigators, including a Seattle Police Department detective, have been assigned to the case.
Jamie Stevens, a 15-year-old sophomore at RHS, stormed out of her parents’ home in unincorporated King County near the Woodinivlle-Redmond border Sept. 21 and has not returned.
The parents have been working with a detective at the King County Sheriff’s Office and the leads they have obtained have Jamie’s mother, Judy Stevens, fearing the worst scenarios, possibly involving drugs or prostitution. Another county detective from the Major Crimes Unit has joined the search for Jamie, according to Judy.
In addition, the case has also been assigned to a Seattle Police Department detective who works on the FBI’s Innocence Lost task force, Judy said. According to the FBI Web site, the Innocence Lost task force was created in 2003 to address “the growing problem of domestic sex trafficking of children in the United States.”
“It’s pretty ugly,” Judy said. “It’s an odd mess. It’s quite frightening.”
Jamie has been reportedly seen in Seattle, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Snohomish and Everett, according to Sgt. John Urquhart, King County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
“No one really knows where she is,” Urquhart said.
Jamie is listed as an “Endangered Runaway” on the Web site of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In addition, Jamie’s missing person poster is up at all law enforcement agencies around the state, according to Judy.
“I know for sure, she hasn’t contacted anyone since September 30, although she was seen October 6th in the Belltown neighborhood (of Seattle),” she said. “She’s either held up against her will or she’s not going out on purpose. I think she is with someone.”
Judy said Jamie met what she called “a boyfriend” on MySpace in mid-August. Jamie told friends her new boyfriend was “a pimp,” according to Judy, who said the man’s MySpace introduction page, which does not require a password, was filled with profanity and illegal drug references.
“He called himself a professional boyfriend,” Judy said, adding that his mySpace introduction page has been changed with the profanity and drug references now deleted.
Judy would not divulge the man’s name, but said that detectives have talked to him on the phone and plan to track him down and talk to him face to face.
Judy said she plans to hire an attorney, who she hopes will help with the legalities of getting Jamie’s password for her mySpace and Windows Live e-mail accounts. The problem is, Judy said, mySpace and Microsoft will not release Jamie’s passwords or contents of any messages to law enforcement without a court order and a King County judge won’t sign a court order unless there is “physical evidence of foul play.” Judy said, at this time, sheriff detectives do not have enough evidence to get a court order to get Jamie’s passwords.
“We need to get her passwords,” Judy said. “There may be nothing there, but we need to make sure. I just don’t know what to think anymore. This is frustrating and I am very worried.”
If you have seen Jamie, call Judy at (425) 260-7054 or (425) 895-8566 or call Judy’s husband Jim at (206) 491-6858.

A 15-year-old Redmond High School sophomore ran away from home Sept. 21 and her mother is now fearing the worst.
Jamie Stevens stormed out her parents’ home in unincorporated King County near the Woodinville-Redmond border three weeks ago and has not returned, according to Jamie’s mother, Judy.
“She left angry and frustrated and walked off with nothing but the clothes on her back, she has nothing, no money, no ID, nothing,” Judy said. “It’s really a big mystery.”
Judy and her husband, Jim, contacted all of Jamie’s friends and nobody had seen her the day she ran away. They went around the neighborhood, the high school and her favorite hangouts, hoping to find some clues that would lead to the whereabouts of their daughter.
Judy said she finally got an e-mail from her daughter the night of Sept. 29, telling her mother that she planned to come home soon and that she just needed some time to “cool off.”
But since then, “nobody has heard anything,” Judy said. “She has not been on Facebook or MySpace, she’s not responding to e-mails, so I know something is happening. She has stopped communicating with us and that’s our biggest concern.”
Judy and Jim are working with an investigator from the King County Sheriff’s Office, trying to find their runaway daughter, who got into a verbal altercation with her father before running away.
“We’ve done lots of follow-up work in this one but haven’t tracked her down yet,” said Sgt. John Urquhart, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office.
Judy said they have turned up some leads as to who she is with, and “it’s not good. They are people we don’t know and they seem to be caught up in bad things.”
Judy said Jamie “was frustrated and stressed out” with her home life, but Judy never expected her to run away and not come back. Jamie is a talented artist and was a strong student in the classroom, according to Judy. Jamie told her parents that she planned to compete for the Redmond High track and field team in the spring, Judy said.
“It’s very hard,” said Judy, who is also working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. “She’s talented, she’s smart and she’s really engaging. I know wherever she is, it’s bad. I just don’t know how bad it is.”
Jamie has dark hair and is diminutive in stature, around 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, according to her mother.
