Handyman Charged with Murdering 82-Year-Old Woman in Washington

Authorities in Washington state are investigating the brutal murder of 82-year-old Marcia Norman, whose body was found buried under a shed with concrete poured over it after being killed with a pneumatic nail gun. Jeffrey Zizz, a 47-year-old handyman and former pastor who worked for Norman, has been charged with murder, kidnapping, and unlawful disposal of human remains, and is being held without bail. Norman's death was described by the coroner as exceptionally disturbing, with injuries indicating she suffered for hours before dying. Investigators found a five-page letter at Zizz’s residence detailing a planned burglary and sexual assault of a woman referred to as his customer, with similarities to the circumstances of Norman's death, although there is no evidence of sexual assault. Zizz fled to Montana during the investigation but was apprehended and extradited to Washington. The motive remains unclear, and authorities continue to gather evidence as the case develops.
