Police hope car leads to hit-and-run suspect

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday they have a lead in the case of a hit-and-run that left a 23-year-old jogger dead.

Kimberly Powell was struck July 14 while jogging along Northeast Frontage Road near Dodson. She was thrown several feet and was not found until about an hour and a half later. She was taken to the hospital, but died the next day.

At the scene, investigators discovered tire tracks that told them that whoever hit Powell paused briefly and then fled. A side mirror was also found.

Police now have the car they believe hit Powell - a gray, 1987 two-door Nissan Sentra that was found in Wenatchee, Washington.  They say they are certain it is the car in question because the passenger-side mirror is a match.

The question now is who does the car belong to and is that person responsible for killing Powell?  Police say if you recognize the Nissan and saw it near Dodson back in July, they want to hear from you.

The car's driver's side door is much darker than the rest of the car.

Powell's family has put up a $10,000 reward in the case.
