In the early morning hours of October 8, 2020, 63-year-old Kay Saw was fatally shot while she slept in her Bellevue, Washington home. The King County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide after an autopsy found she had been shot in the face and neck from less than four feet; the pathologist could not definitively say whether more than one shot struck the same area. Two fired 12-gauge shotgun shells were found near her body and a 12-gauge shotgun with an unfired shell was recovered from the study.

Her husband, 75-year-old retired University of Washington professor Thomas Jarboe, called 911 and told the dispatcher he had shot his wife; he was arrested at the residence and later taken to a hospital for medication purposes, where he reportedly made several suicidal statements to an officer. King County prosecutors charged Jarboe with premeditated first-degree murder with a domestic violence enhancement and set bail at $2.5 million. Reports noted Jarboe had advanced Parkinson’s disease and amnesia, though authorities did not officially confirm those reports.

Did anyone in the Bellevue area see or hear anything that night that could help explain what happened?
