I’ve seen this photo a lot since November. It hangs in the windows of storefronts all over this town and the next. It is the identifying photo of a missing person. After an autopsy on Tuesday, those flyers will probably be taken down.
Levi’s truck was found Friday, with an unidentified corpse in the front seat. When he disappeared in November, there were many speculations as to what had happened to him, and the Tuesday after he went missing I swore I saw him in the passenger seat of a pickup truck in Ellensburg, a childhood friend of mine driving. There were few leads in the case, and rumors spread that he had gotten mixed up with the wrong people and had either left town or been killed. Around Christmas it was reported that, even though there was no body, the search for Levi had turned into a murder investigation. A tattoo shop in Ellensburg was searched for evidence, and it was alleged that the tattoo shop’s telephone had been tapped resulting in a tape of someone stating that they shot him in the chest with a shotgun and dumped him in the river with his truck. Apparently the shop in question had shut down to paint the walls immediately following his disappearance.
The article in today’s Daily Record touts the death as probably just a “tragic accident”, but if it wasn’t an accident, and Levi, who I had a crush on and let cheat off of my geometry homework in high school, fell victim to some kind of violent crime, what’s next?
This is a very small community. We have our fair share of crime, but most of the incidents listed in the police blotter are domestic violence calls, public intoxication citations or drug charges, reports of nuisance and strange goings-on, . I can’t recall ever hearing of someone being murdered around here. How quickly should we expect this violence to escalate? How long before you don’t have to be associated with morally corrupt people to be targeted by murderers?
If it wasn’t murder and was just a terrible accident and he over-corrected his steering and broke through a barrier on the side of the freeway, why was the damage not noticed and followed up on until a hiker found debris from the truck in the woods five months later? I find it hard to believe that a Ford F150 could drive off the road far enough to be hidden for almost half a year and not leave a fair amount of tell-tale damage behind it. If he was murdered, and his truck being driven off of I-90 into a stand of trees was an attempt to get rid of the body, are local departments competent enough to find the proper evidence and determine what actually happened?
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I wish Grissom were here.
