The two-week search for a missing woman and mother of two from Orting ended in tragedy this weekend when the body of Nicole White, 28, was found in the woods surrounding Kapowsin. According to KOMO, authorities say that White was last seen on June 6 leaving the Jeepers Country Bar & Grill in Spanaway with a man she met on a dating website. The man in question is currently in Pierce County Jail on unrelated weapons charges, but remains a person of interest.
