BATTLE GROUND, Wash - A woman who was found dead on the side of a road has been identified and investigators believe she may have been the victim of a hit and run.

The body of 22-year-old Tatyana Tupikova was discovered Friday afternoon on State Highway 503, about a quarter of a mile south of Main Street in Battle Ground, Wash.

A passerby spotted the body and alerted local firefighters.

Tupikova had been missing since May 9. An autopsy performed on Saturday found that she died of blunt force trauma.

By Sunday, there was a roadside memorial to remember the young woman who lost her life. Neighbors said she had been planning to go to school to be a medical assistant and was just on the verge of starting a new life.

"I just want her family to have closure," said Isabelle Sabyanchuk, who knows the family and stopped by the roadside memorial on Sunday to offer a prayer. "I know it's so hard for them. Come forward, that's all we ask."

Investigators would like to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area, specifically around 9 p.m. on May 9.

PORTLAND, Ore. – If you’re feeling charitable, you can help "stamp out hunger" on Saturday.

“Stamp Out Hunger” is the annual food drive by the Oregon Food Bank and Oregon State Association of Letter Carriers. Postal carriers in Oregon and southwest Washington delivered 1.5 million yellow, biodegradable bags to homes this week.

If you would like to donate, simply fill the bag with non-perishable food – like canned soups, cereal and pasta – and leave it outside for your mail carrier. Items like peanut butter and tuna fish are in high demand for kids, since schools and food pantries need help with their summer lunch programs.

“Nobody raises more food in one day than letter carriers do across the country  by l,” said Kevin Card, the president of the Oregon State Association of Letter Carriers. “It's that one time we can work with our customers to do something really incredible.”

The drive can bring in two million pounds of food for Oregon and southwest Washington; however, donations were down by 18 percent last year. Organizers do not know the reason.
