发帖数: 170 | 1 UPDATE 3: Murder victims identified in double homicide
07/22/2014
Update 3 7/22/2014
The identities of the suspect and victims in this double homicide have been
confirmed. The victims’ identities are Linda Parentau and David Elmer Wells
. The suspect who has been arrested and is currently being held without bail
is Parentau’s son, Richard Leo J. Parentau. Though he is being held
without bail no official murder charges have been filed as of yet.
Authorities have dealt with the Parentau family in the past after having to
involuntarily commit Richard to a mental health facility multiple times last
year. Police were able to quickly identify Linda’s body because of these
run-ins.
Police were aided in identifying Wells’s body since multiple business cards
were found near his body. When police arrived at the suspect’s home they
found streaks of blood on the carpet and the suspect’s business truck
parked outside.

found by a man out for an early morning walk along the Duwamish waterway.
