On the night of April 2, 2016, 47-year-old Tom Iannicello was found shot in the head at close range while sleeping in his bed at the family home in unincorporated Auburn, Washington. Deputies noted no signs of a struggle and that valuables such as televisions, electronics, and cash were left untouched, calling the caller’s burglary claim into question. His wife, Julie Iannicello, called 911 around 10:50 p.m.; investigators say her two children waited in a running car in the driveway while she was inside with Tom for several minutes before she emerged and left briefly to pick up Tom’s older daughter.Police explored multiple leads, including business rivalries tied to Tom’s produce company, but detectives later focused on Julie.

Investigators reported emails showing an extramarital relationship and statements expressing hatred for Tom, plus plans to leave the marriage the weekend he was killed. Forensic evidence included a spent casing next to Tom that matched unfired bullets found elsewhere in the house, suggesting the weapon originated inside the home.Julie was arrested in March 2019 and charged with first-degree murder; the case went to trial in summer 2022, but the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a mistrial.

Does anyone have information about Tom’s activities or connections in Auburn around April 2016?
