The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a second domestic violence murder this week.
On Wednesday, deputies responded to a disturbance on Northwest 61st Avenue in Ridgefield, Washington, after 72-year-old Wayne Leonetti called 911 to allegedly say he had choked his wife and she was not breathing, the office said Wednesday in a press release.
Deputies found 80-year-old Alice Bolen dead inside the home, deputies said. Leonetti was booked in Clark County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder.
On Monday, Clark County deputies responded to a 911 call from two girls who said their stepfather had shot and killed their mother and then himself. Sheriff’s officials identified the couple as James Jordan, 45, and Erica Jordan, 46.
