On 2/16/26 a family member reported they had not heard from 34-year-old Tori Garza who was last known to be staying at a residence in the 9400 block of NW 17th Ave, Vancouver, WA.  Tori had not been heard from by associates since 2/9/26.  Detectives determined the deceased female was Tori Garza, who previously went by the name Victoria Mills.  A search warrant at this residence was executed on 2/16/26 but no indications of foul play was located in the residence.
