Man sought in grandparents' deaths in Wash. state
SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities are searching the Northwest for a man accused of killing his Seattle-area grandparents, who had just picked him up after his release from a Washington state prison, hosted a party in his honor and offered him a room in their home for the night.
Michael "Chad" Boysen, 26, is considered extremely dangerous and has tried to obtain guns, police said Monday.
He was released from prison Friday after serving several years for robbery. His grandparents — an 82-year-old man and 80-year-old woman — picked him up from prison and hosted a family "welcome home party" for him that night, King County Sheriff John Urquhart said.
The grandparents were killed later Friday or early Saturday at their Renton home. Authorities believe Boysen also stole their car.
"I can't stress how dangerous this guy is," Urquhart said at a news conference. The sheriff said Boysen had made threats against family members and law enforcement officials, but he did not elaborate.
"We have to catch him as soon as we can," Urquhart
Friends and family identified the elderly couple to TV stations as Robert R. and Norma J. Taylor. They were members of the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, neighbor Ronna Smith told KOMO.
When a family member became concerned that the Taylors didn't answer their door, the daughter was called and found their bodies at about 7 p.m. Saturday.
