On the evening of January 4, 2014, 53-year-old Harry Ed Giesbrecht Jr was shot in the head at his Deer Park, Washington, residence. He had been watching television with another person when loud knocks came at the door; as he went to answer, the door was kicked in and two people were seen fleeing. Giesbrecht died from the gunshot wound.

Authorities found 61-year-old Richard Klepacki hiding near a nearby middle school; he had blood on his face and clothing and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. An empty holster was recovered near where Klepacki was found. Months later, in June 2014, a second suspect, Anthony Tudor, was arrested and — according to the investigation — confessed to kicking in Giesbrecht’s door that night.

A .45 caliber handgun, later confirmed by the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab to be the murder weapon, was recovered by an eight-year-old boy near a bus stop four blocks from the scene. The loaded, cocked firearm was hidden under leaves and a piece of wood and was matched to a casing at the scene and the bullet from the victim.

Did anyone in the Deer Park area see activity near Giesbrecht’s apartment on January 4, 2014, or notice the gun near the bus stop?
