A man renting a room from a Washington State couple who mysteriously vanished earlier this week has been charged as a suspect in their killings.
Authorities have not yet publicly named the man, but announced on Friday evening that an arrest had been made in relation to the disappearance of Davido William Cannizzo, 68, and Karen Koep, 62, after conducting an investigation with local, state, and federal authorities.
“Based on the evidence gathered, detectives located and arrested an Olympian man in his 40s known to the couple,” the news release on Facebook read, adding that law enforcement had reason to believe that the couple did not survive an attack at their home. “The man will be booked into the Thurston County jail on two counts of Murder 1st degree and Kidnapping 1st degree.”
