The Roys Report reports:
A former Calvary Chapel pastor convicted of child molestation was charged in Washington state on Wednesday with first-degree murder and kidnapping in connection with the death of an 82-year-old grandmother who was entombed under a shed. Jeffrey Zizz, 47, was charged with premeditated first-degree murder and first-degree felony murder, both while armed with a deadly weapon, and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful disposal of human remains.
Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders told King 5 News that Zizz failed a polygraph test, requested an attorney, and fled the state shortly after an initial interview with authorities. Authorities tracked Zizz to Missoula, Montana, where he was taken into custody on a child molestation violation on April 6. Norman’s remains were found partially encased in concrete under a shed recently built by Zizz in Olympia, according to a Thurston County sheriff’s press release.
Seattle’s NBC affiliate reports:
Zizz is accused of killing Marcia Norman, 82, on or between April 1 and April 9. Documents state he was armed with a nail gun. Norman was reported missing after she and Zizz allegedly had dinner together on April 1. Gary Warnock, Thurston County coroner, called the investigation the “worst case I’ve witnessed.” He said Norman was beaten and injured with a nail gun for hours before she died.
Thurston County prosecutor Jon Tunheim said Monday Norman’s injuries could be consistent with torture. Investigators said Norman’s wrists and ankles were wrapped with long black Velcro straps and evidence showed she was bound before her death. Norman’s cause of death was blunt force trauma and penetrating injuries to her head. Months before she was reported missing, Zizz broke into Norman’s home while she was sleeping, according to court documents.
NBC News reports:
The former pastor was arrested in 2021 and booked on suspicion of nine criminal counts that included incest, rape of a child and molestation. Zizz pleaded guilty in Oct. 2022 to two counts of second-degree child molestation against victims ages 12 to 14 and one count of communicating with a minor under age 18 for immoral purposes.
Although Zizz was sentenced to more than eight years in prison, he was released after 11 months due to a Washington law called the Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative, King 5 News reported. Some of the conditions surrounding the program required Zizz to enter a treatment program and he was prohibited from leaving the state.
