CCSO INVESTIGATES DECEASED FEMALE LOCATED IN WOODS, LEADS TO ARREST - 02/25/26

Correction to the arrested subject's name to Andrew Brunette.

 

On 2/14/26 Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) deputies and detectives responded to a deceased female located on state forest land near the DNR-1100 Rd in eastern Clark County.  Detectives with the Major Crimes Unit with the assistance of the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the death was suspicious.  Specific details are not being released at this time. 
 

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. 
 

Detectives continued to investigate the recent activities of Tori Garza to include reviewing her cell phone records and locating an online advertisement for escort services that was posted on 2/9/26. Detectives located cameras in the areas the victim’s cell phone travelled to and were assisted by private parties who provided video clips to investigators.  The video was analyzed and compared to Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) data obtained from cameras mounted on CCSO patrol vehicles.  A suspect vehicle was located and determined to belong to Andrew Brunette who lives in the 200 block of Marty Lp, Woodland, WA. 
 

On 2/24/26 Clark County Sheriff’s Office Detectives, assisted by Lower Columbia SWAT and Woodland Police Department served a search warrant in the 200 block of Marty Lp, Woodland, WA.   Andrew Brunette (66) was taken into custody.  The search of the residence located evidence of foul play and Andrew Brunette was booked into the Cowlitz County Jail for Murder in the 1st Degree, Patronizing a Prostitute, and Unlawful Disposal of Human Remains. 
 

Anyone with information about the activities of Tori Garza or Andrew Brunette is asked to contact the Clark County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line, 564-397-2847.
