Tenino (USA) - 82-year-old Marcia Norman was missing for over a week. The police ruled out a burglary because her valuables were still in the house. But the officers made a gruesome discovery in a nearby shed.

According to a report by"Fox13 Seattle", the 82-year-old's family had not heard from their grandmother since April 1 and reported her missing to the local police in Tenino , USA , three days later.

The officers also posted the missing person's case on Facebook and it quickly became clear that the elderly lady's disappearance was very suspicious. For example, the police found dishes in Marcia's home that had only been half washed. In addition, her two cars were still in the driveway in front of the house in the small town.

In the course of their investigation, the officers discovered that Jeffrey Zizz (47), the old lady's handyman, had hastily erected a shed on a small plot of land nearby shortly beforehand. When they followed up this lead, they noticed the freshly concreted floor, in which they also found the 82-year-old's body.

The investigators noticed that Zizz became increasingly agitated as the investigation progressed, until he finally fled the town.

Fortunately, the police were able to apprehend the fugitive shortly afterwards in a motel some 330 kilometers away in the state of Montana. However, the 47-year-old is anything but unknown to the police. Some time ago, he was convicted of child abuse.

He is currently in Thurston County Prison awaiting a decision from the police and public prosecutor's office, who are currently conducting further investigations into the death of Marcia Norman and have not yet brought any charges.
