FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- Friends and family members gathered on Wednesday to pay their respects to Jane Britt and console each other over the senseless murder.

Last week the 75-year-old was found murdered in the trunk of her car. Police still have no suspects and no motive.

"It's just unthinkable what happened," said friend Lana Buethe.

"We've known her since we were kids. So It's just a tragic loss and doesn't make any sense," added Dan Buethe.

Last Wednesday Britt's body was found strangled and beaten inside the trunk of her car in the parking lot of the Garden Terrace Alzheimer Center where her husband, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, lives. Family members said Britt visited him every day.

"The Federal Way Police Department wants to express their sympathy and compassion to Jane Britt and her family and friends," said police spokesman Cathy Schrock.

Federal Way Police have been investigating the case around the clock. The state patrol crime lab is also treating the case is a top priority and examining forensic evidence, fingerprints, hairs and clothing fibers.

And police, meanwhile, continue to talk with family and employees of the care center. Her friends believe it must have been a random attack.

"I can't see how it could have anything to do with the family or having to do with her. It's just pure evil, just pure evil," Lana said.

The Britt family wanted the memorial service to be a very private affair, but the family wants the murder investigation to be a very public affair. The family wants anyone with any information about the case to contact police.
