On March 8, Renton Police detectives learned her body was found in Mexico.
The suspect, 61-year-old Louie Hernandez, remains in jail in Mexico after being arrested on drugs and possession of ammunition charges.
Authorities are working to bring him to King County to face charges.
Prosecutors have asked for a $5 million bail.
