On the evening of July 20, 2015, deputies from the Mason County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call about a shooting at a home in Belfair View Estates, Belfair, Washington. Inside a residence on Northeast Bear Ridge, 52-year-old Joseph Gene Sedlacek was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

The initial caller was Sedlacek’s longtime partner, 54-year-old Bridget Ann Graham, who told deputies the death was a suicide. Investigators later focused on Graham. After the shooting she left the home with her 9 1/2-month-old grandson and was stopped by a deputy on Northshore Road. During questioning her account changed; she told a detective she became angry after Sedlacek threatened to call Child Protective Services about the child and said she believed she had taken Sedlacek’s handgun and shot him.

Graham was arrested, booked at the Mason County Jail, charged with second-degree murder, and given $150,000 bail. Does anyone have information about the days before July 20, 2015, or about the household at Northeast Bear Ridge?
