A Washington woman who went missing after reportedly having dinner with her handyman was found underneath a shed in another town.
Marcia Norman, 82, was last seen by her family on April 1 and reported missing a few days later, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office. Police said that Norman reportedly had dinner with her handyman, 47-year-old Jeffrey Zizz, on April 1 and was not heard from again.
When police arrived at Norman’s home in Tenino, a city some 75 miles southwest of Seattle, the state of the home led them to believe that she had “left abruptly.” Meanwhile, Zizz reportedly left Washington state in a friend’s pickup truck, but was arrested on April 6 on a previous sentencing violation.
But before he left, Zizz’s neighbors apparently noticed that he had built a shed on a property in Olympia — the day after Norman was reported missing.
