Man Charged in Torturous Olympia Woman Murder

Jeffrey Zizz, a 47-year-old handyman and convicted child molester, has been charged in Thurston County, Washington, with the murder, kidnapping, and unlawful disposal of 82-year-old Marcia Norman's remains. Norman, reported missing on April 4, was found days later bound with Velcro straps and partially encased in concrete under a shed Zizz had built on another property. Authorities determined that Norman suffered a torturous, hours-long death involving blunt force trauma and injuries from a nail gun, with the coroner calling it the 'worst case' witnessed. Investigators found evidence that Zizz had become obsessed with Norman and methodically planned the crime, including a disturbing letter discovered in his home, but found no evidence of sexual assault. Zizz was the last person known to see Norman alive, having dinner with her on April 1, and was arrested in Montana on unrelated charges before extradition. Norman's family expressed devastation at her loss and gratitude for law enforcement's work.
