CODE 911: (2 ITEMS) Homicide victim identified
Jim Rothgeb — May 6th, 1998
MASON COUNTY -- The body of a man found Saturday near Brown Creek Campground in the Olympic National Forest has been positively identified. Authorities are trying to notify his next-of-kin.
The man was identified through fingerprint records, said Mason County Undersheriff Gary Crane. The victim's surviving relatives are believed to be living in Mexico.
An autopsy Monday revealed the man was shot several times and his body was dumped in the national forest about three weeks ago.
In early April, Washington State Patrol troopers in Lewis County arrested two suspects on gun violations. During the arrest, the trooper found blood and other evidence that may be linked to the case.
