Another case that has always interested me but I feel didn’t get the exposure it deserved was the tube sock murders In Washington state.
Around August 10, 1985, a couple went camping and a few days later the male was found by hikers shot in his sleeping bag in tule lake in Yelm. It was assumed due to his position he was shot while sleeping. The couples dog was also shot.
The skull of the female was found in October the 26th about 1.5 miles away from the male victim. Then on the 28th of October the females body was found 50 feet away from the site the skull was found, the body had been shot in the stomach area and had a tube sock tied around the neck.
Roughly a month later on December 12 1985, another couple and their daughter went in the same area to find a Christmas tree. Later this same evening the 2 year old daughter is discovered abandoned at a Kmart 30 miles away and said “Mommy was in the trees”. She was sent to foster care and eventually turned over to a grandparent.
A search was done and nearly 2 months later the female (Diana Robertson)was found by a motorist near the car deceased. Near her body was her boyfriend’s truck abandoned with a note that said “I love you Diana” as well as blood stains.
Her boyfriends(Mike Reimer) body was searched for in the area but not found.
Diana’s body was stabbed 17 times and also had the tied tube sock around her neck in the same type of not as the first case mentioned.
Since Reimer could not be located he was originally considered to be a potential suspect until his skull was found in 2011, although the cause of death could not be determined due to the time that had passed. As far. As I’ve seen Reimer was not completely ruled out but seems unlikely due to the daughter being completely abandoned and friends said that was not like him.
This case is very creepy and I feel it deserves more attention and there is another couple that may also be a victim of the same killer but I didn’t include it in the write up. Unfortunately the amount of info online is pretty light so if anyone knows anything or has other resources please share.
