The synthetic drugs known as bath salts may have claimed another victim. Police believe they caused the death of a 46-year-old woman from Pacific.
The victim's fiancée was the one who found her body. He wants to warn others about just how dangerous bath salts can be.
The drug changed her, says Brian Walters. That night, Kim Tullock was not acting like the woman he fell in love with.
"She was completely psychotic. This was a woman that had a heart that was so big she'd do anything for anybody," Walters said. "She was one hell of a mother. She was a genuinely good person."
Walters says he couldn't stand to be in the room with her while she was smoking so-called bath salts, so he left. When he returned two hours later, Tullock was dead.
He doesn't know where she bought the packets, but can't stand the thought that others might buy them too.
"Sixteen-year-old kids are going in and buying this stuff because it's marketed under some puppy dog and rainbow name," Walters said.
The labels read things like "Starry Nights" or "Ivory Wave," the substance inside often mimics the effect of cocaine, methamphetamine or LSD. Communities like Pacific have been working to ban it.
"We came up with a prime updated ordinance to where it doesn't matter if you call it jewelry cleaner, bath salt or even car polish, you're not going to sell this stuff here," said Pacific Police Chief Matt Mansell.
Someone may very well be. And Pacific police are trying to track down whom.
"Right now what we're interested in is where did the stuff come from, let's get this stuff of the street," Mansell said. "Don't do this stuff, that's the most important thing. I don't want to get another call like this."
Kim Tullock leaves behind a 17-year-old daughter and a fiancee. They were set to be married in November.
"Anybody out there doing this stuff; stop now. You're going to die. Kim is dead. Forty-six-years-old and she's gone," Walters said.
Pacific police continue to investigate. They say whoever sold Tullock the bath salts could face charges.
