The RV, a 2001 Jamboree, has the Washington state license plate AZU4622.

Although police are asking for the public’s help, they also say those who see the RV should call 911 rather than approach the vehicle or contact those who occupy it.

About 2 a.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to the 1800 block of East End Street Northwest after a report of a body lying in the street. Police later determined the 37-year-old man appeared to have been stabbed.

Evidence recovered during the investigation connected the vehicle to the alleged crime. No arrests have been made.

The victim’s examination was set to take place Tuesday morning, Thurston County Coroner Gary Warnock said. He said after the exam he will consult police before releasing the man’s name and cause of death.
