Judge orders no-bail hold for handyman accused of killing 82-year-old Tenino woman

Jeffrey Zizz, 47, was denied bail after being charged with the murder and kidnapping of 82-year-old Marcia Norman in Thurston County. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, which involve Zizz's prior friendship with the victim and a disturbing encounter where he was found at her bed. Norman's family reported her missing when they noticed her medication and personal items remained untouched. Investigators found inconsistencies in Zizz's statements regarding his actions on the night of her disappearance, leading to further scrutiny. Zizz's admission of returning to Norman's home that night raised alarms, particularly after he expressed romantic feelings for her.

The case has shocked the local community, prompting discussions about safety and trust in caregiver relationships. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Norman's death. The outcome of the proceedings could have lasting implications for the community's perception of safety and justice.
