This marks the tenth arrest of suspects believed to be part of an organized crime group from South America responsible for over 300 burglaries in King and Snohomish Counties since 2021, resulting in losses exceeding $5 million in cash and jewelry. On Wednesday, a 34-year-old man was arrested and booked into Snohomish County Jail for 11 counts of burglary and six counts of theft, and a second 34-year-old man was booked for 12 counts of burglary and 7 counts of theft. In addition, detectives referred an additional six counts of burglary and three counts of theft on a 24-year-old man who was already being held in the Snohomish County Jail on charges related to this investigation. Since November 2023, the two 34-year-old suspects have been linked to a dozen burglaries in Snohomish County, including in unincorporated south Snohomish County, the city of Lynnwood and the city of Mukilteo. During the investigation, detectives determined the suspects have targeted Asian and East Indian homeowners, with the belief that they keep large sums of cash and jewelry stored in their homes.

SSNOHOMISH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE2+ weeks agoAgencyToday, after three hours of jury deliberation, 66-year-old Alan Edward Dean was found guilty of first-degree murder of Melissa Lee in 1993. After eight days of trial, there is justice more than 30 years after 15-year-old Melissa Lee was kidnapped and killed. A special thank you to the Sheriff's Office Cold Case detectives, Washington State Patrol Crime Lab, Parabon Nanolabs and the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for their partnership and diligent work to solve this case and hold the defendant accountable for his actions. ________________________________________ Original release (July 29, 2020) BREAKING: Suspect Arrested in 1993 Homicide Cold Case SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. – Detectives from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit arrested a 62 year-old Bothell (Washington) man for the April 1993 murder of 15 year-old Melissa Lee. Alan Edward Dean was taken into custody without incident at 5 p.m., Tuesday, July 28, 2020, near his residence in Bothell. He has been booked into the Snohomish County Jail on one count of 1st degree murder and one count of 1st degree kidnapping for the 1993 kidnapping and killing of 15 year-old Melissa Lee. Detectives continue to gather and process evidence and interview witnesses related to the investigation of Lee’s murder. Because of this arrest, detectives are asking for people to come forward with information, specifically anyone who: • Currently knows Dean, previously knew Dean or knew of his activities in or around 1993 (he would have been 35 years-old at the time of the murder); • Recognizes Dean from the attached photo of him around the time of the killing in 1993 and/or from the more recent photo of him; • Dated, communicated with, or has any information regarding Dean around 1993 using a night talk line (he used a fake name of Mike or Michael); • Has information regarding Dean having access to Ethyl Ether and Heptane chemicals around the time the crimes were committed. Detectives confirmed Dean was living on Madison Street in Everett in 1993; his residence was approximately 3.6 miles from where Lee’s body was found. He worked dayshift at Boeing in Everett prior to the killing. Dean was identified as a suspect through the use of genetic genealogy, which is the use of DNA testing in combination with traditional genealogical methods to establish the relationship between an individual and their ancestors. Successful identification of Dean was established with assistance from Parabon NanoLabs (Parabon), a DNA technology company in Virginia that performed genetic genealogy analysis for the case. A digital file containing DNA genotype data derived from evidence at the crime scene was uploaded to a public genetic genealogy website, and promising matches were found for multiple of the suspect’s relatives. After Parabon’s genealogists deduced Dean’s identity, detectives subsequently acquired an abandoned DNA sample from a cigarette butt he had used. Washington State Patrol’s crime lab confirmed that it positively matched the DNA profile from the crime scene evidence. This is the third arrest of a murder suspect in Snohomish County that involved assistance from Parabon. If you or anyone you know has information related to this case or suspect, please call the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office tip line 425-388-3845. ### Case background: On the evening of April 13, 1993, 15 year-old Melissa Lee was home alone at her residence on Filbert Road in Bothell. Lee was planning to have a girlfriend come stay the night at her house, however she never made it. Lee spoke with her mother on their home landline phone around 9:30 p.m. When Lee’s mother arrived home after midnight, she discovered the front door ajar and signs of a struggle inside: the living room coffee table askew, an ashtray upside down on the floor, a glass of milk spilled on the floor and 15 year-old Lee was not home. Her mother reported her missing to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office on April 14, 1993. On the evening of April 14, 1993, Melissa Lee’s body was found in a ravine on the north side of the Edgewater Creek Bridge in the 3800 block of Mukilteo Boulevard located in the city of Everett. The following day, an autopsy was completed by the Snohomish County Chief Medical Examiner. The autopsy determined Lee’s death was attributed to asphyxia due to manual strangulation and was classified as a homicide. A toxicology report did not detect any drugs or alcohol in Lee’s system; however, Ethyl Ether and Heptane chemicals were detected in Lee’s system. In 1993, detectives interviewed Alan Dean three times after finding notes in Melissa Lee’s address book with a phone number for someone named “Michael”. The male was identified as Alan E. Dean and told detectives he used the name “Mike” when he met Lee through a night talk line and dated her twice in March of 1993.188Like48

NN. C.Larch Way·2+ weeks agoDoes anyone recognize this man? He has attempted to enter our apartment, and has returned multiple times in the past couple weeks. He additionally dropped off a hammer and piece of metal on our doormat at 1 am. Usually comes around midnight, but has come by once in the morning too. We have audio of his voice as well if it helps. We are just confused and concerned for our safety, so any information would be appreciated, thanks! UPDATE: to answer some commonly asked questions: yes, the management of our complex knows (as well as immediate neighbors), and yes, the police have been contacted multiple times before making this post. Neither the complex or the police said they could do anything, so I posted here as a last resort to see if anyone recognized him (which someone did! She stated he does not have dementia, but tends to drink often, and she also called the complex with the information she knows as he would try to contact her as well). I appreciate all the advice and concern and I hope this situation calms down soon!89Like247
