Missing 82-Year-Old Grandmother Found Encased in Concrete

An 82-year-old grandmother from Washington state was tragically found encased in concrete and buried under a shed, with her sex-offender handyman suspected as the main perpetrator, according to authorities.

Marcia Norman’s body was discovered on April 10th, nine days after she had dinner with Jeffrey Zizz, a convicted child molester who was working as a handyman for her, as reported by the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.

Lieutenant Mike Brooks of the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office stated that they had spoken to Zizz multiple times to understand his interactions with Norman and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Norman was reported missing on April 4 by her family, who had not heard from her since April 1. The suspicious nature of her disappearance was highlighted by unfinished dishes in the kitchen sink and both her vehicles remaining in the driveway, according to the sheriff’s office.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Zizz had constructed a shed on an unrelated property in Olympia, Washington, on April 2. Tragically, Norman’s body was found buried under this shed after a thorough excavation by officials.

As authorities closed in on Zizz, he fled to Missoula, Montana, where he was apprehended by law enforcement at a motel. He was arrested for a sentencing violation related to an unrelated child molestation charge and extradited back to Washington on April 13.

Although Zizz has not been formally charged, he remains the primary person of interest in Norman’s death. Police have executed search warrants and seized his pick-up truck as part of the ongoing investigation.

Zizz is currently held without bail at the Thurston County Jail for the child molestation sentencing violation while authorities continue their probe into the tragic death of Marcia Norman.
