A missing 82-year-old Washington grandmother was found encased in concrete and buried under a shed in Washington state — with her sex-offender handyman eyed as the main suspect, according to cops.
Marcia Norman’s hastily made tomb was found Apr. 10th, nine days after the grandmother had dinner with handyman and convicted child molester Jeffrey Zizz, according to a release from the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
“We spoke to [Zizz] a couple of times over the days, just trying to understand the interactions with her, the relationship, how often he’s known her, what he was doing at the house — that kind of stuff,” Lieutenant Mike Brooks of the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office said, according to Fox 13 Seattle.
The Tenino, Wa. woman was reported missing by her family on Apr. 4 after they had not heard from her since Apr. 1 — with cops calling the disappearance suspicious, noting that dinner dishes had been left half finished in the kitchen sink and both of her vehicles were in the driveway, according to the sheriff’s office .
During the course of their investigation, cops found that Zizz built a ramshackle shed on Apr. 2, on an “unrelated property” in Olympia, Wa. — under which Norman was later found after officials conducted a grizzly excavation.
As investigators closed in, Zizz lammed it to Missoula, Montana, where he was picked up by cops at a motel, arrested on a sentencing violation for an unrelated child molestation charge, and extradited back to Washington on Apr. 13, a release stated.
Zizz, 47, has not been charged, but remains the primary person of interest in Norman’s death, with police executing search warrants and seizing his pick-up truck, the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office stated.
He is being held on no bail at the Thurston County Jail for his child molestation sentencing violation as cops conduct their investigation into the death of Marcia Norman, the release said.
