Leslie Mae DeeDee Sudds, 69, was found dead in her Everett, Washington, home on September 26, 2011, the victim of a savage attack. Known as DeeDee to friends and family, she was a Caucasian woman living with her husband and stepson.

Investigators quickly identified a family connection to the crime. Authorities say Leslie’s stepson, David Joey Pedersen, and his girlfriend, Holly Ann Grigsby, were the primary suspects. The killings in Everett were followed by a flight from law enforcement that crossed state lines into Oregon and California and included additional killings claimed to be part of a racially motivated plan.

Pedersen and Grigsby were captured on October 5, 2011, in California and later charged in connection with the multistate killing spree. If anyone knew Leslie, her family, or saw anything in Everett around late September 2011 that could help, please share what is known.
