Investigators in Washington believe a 33-year-old man and his girlfriend participated in a “collaborated suicide” after spending months living with the bodies of the man’s slain parents.
The four bodies were discovered at a Puyallup, Washington home on Dec. 31. Pierce County detectives said that William Vosler, 68, and his wife, 66-year-old Eileen Vosler were found stuffed in a leaking freezer. Both suffered multiple stab wounds.
Along with the couple’s bodies, police found two notes indicating their times of death: July 24th, 5:45 a.m., and July 24th, 3:00 p.m.
Deputies also found the bodies of Shane Vosler and his 34-year-old girlfriend Sue Bin Lee. Both died of gunshot wounds with Shane’s death ruled a suicide.
“The son and his girlfriend were living in that home for six months before any of this was discovered,” sheriff’s spokesperson Carly Cappetto said.
In a November social media post, Lee revealed she was “considering suicide with Shane,” police said. After the post, deputies conducted three welfare checks on the family’s home but were not allowed to access the residence.
Investigators believe Shane and Lee committed a “collaborated suicide” but that woman died before Shane.
“We’re going to be closing this case because we don’t have anyone to charge. The medical examiner’s report is a key piece of evidence and matched up to what we were leaning towards,” Cappetto said.
