Sara Barrett, 42, was found dead from "homicidal violence" about 6 a.m. Thursday at a Tacoma motel, Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said.
The discovery came just hours after Tony Barrett, 41, of Puyallup was arrested in the chase that reached 100 mph from Tacoma to Gig Harbor, where police and state troopers stopped his car with spike strips.

On Wednesday night, the caller told KOMO, "I just killed my wife ... I want you to put it on your Facebook," the station reported.
Barrett had called the station because he didn't have a Facebook page and wanted the station to post the message, Troyer said. The caller did not say where the woman could be found.
