(snipped and bbm) Boone’s body was discovered in a truck driven by Howell at 8:15 p.m. Sunday near Parkside Elementary School in Tenino. A deputy pulled Howell over after being flagged down by a citizen who said a man asked him to help move a body, court documents said. As the deputy...

Murder charged in slaying Tenino killing: County decides against rape case OLYMPIA - Prosecutors have charged Bernard Keith Howell with first-degree murder in the death of Vanda Boone in Tenino on Sunday. Prosecutors initially filed two charges against Howell on Wednesday – aggravated...

God be with Norma's family and everyone who loves her. This is so heartbreaking.

Thanks for this. So, the truck he spotted must have turned south on Hwy 30 (same direction he was going) since he said he pulled closer. If I remember correctly, Hwy 30 is four lanes, so he could have pulled up right beside it -- is this right? If this is correct, he might have had a pretty...

Thank you, GrainneDhu, for this wonderful post.

ITA, and I think she made an excellent choice -- he's well known and highly respected in this area. It's good to know she will be properly advised and represented.

me too. ~jmo

I agree. I had hoped for a more thorough canvassing of the surrounding area and of Boston Harbor. Someone could have seen something that night/morning. Imo, there were relatively few local news reports. Many locals I've talked to had not even heard of this case, which is concerning to me...

I don't know, but that's a good question. I also wonder if LE looked at video footage from the Gull Harbor Mercantile earlier that evening -- from the time she could have arrived in the Olympia area. It's possible she drove out there before, and someone could also have been with her.

I'm sorry... maybe this has already been answered, am just catching up from the weekend. I think anyone interested in knowing about the waters in this area would know it is Dana Passage. Especially, perhaps, those involved in outdoor activities and/or who might use a topographical map...

You're welcome ~ I'm just looking at the flyer and it would be confusing -- it should read NE for both 46th and Zangle rather than SE, which is incorrect.

It would be 46th Ave. N.E. since Boston Harbor is in the northeast area of Olympia. Here's a map link...

In Thurston County, short answer "yes". I could give some detail but not sure I should. (This doesn't apply to local PD) ~ jmo

I agree, and I think this is a very important issue. Being pretty familiar with the area, I believe the person who drove the van onto that beach had prior knowledge of the location, or was directed by someone with knowledge of it. Someone local and/or familiar with the area could know of...

So beautiful... what a lovely, thoughtful tribute. Thank you so much for sharing.

thanks very much :)

Hi to everyone (i'm new here) ~ I just wanted to say something about the tidal currents where the van was found. I've lived in Olympia for many years and I lived in Boston Harbor (which is also Olympia) a few years back. From my experience and what I have learned from other kayakers, I...
