Authorities seeking video footage of truck connected to Tenino woman's murder

An ongoing investigation into the murder of Marcia Norman of Tenino is turning to the public to help locate possible security footage of a vehicle connected to the crime.

Thurston County Sheriff’s Office detectives are looking for what appears to be a full-sized Ford pickup truck that may have been traveling along a stretch of College Street and other roads earlier this month. 

“The suspect believed to have driven along College Street, the area of Yelm (Highway) and Henderson (Boulevard), and Military (Road) SE between (Highway) 507 and Rainier (Road) SE during the times listed below,” the sheriff’s office said in an update in the case on Thursday, April 24.

The times and locations are as follows: 

College Street corridor — northbound College Street between 8:30 p.m. and 8:50 p.m., and southbound College Street between 10:30 p.m. and 10:50 p.m. on April 1.

College Street corridor — northbound College Street between 2:20 a.m. and 2:40 a.m. on April 2.

Military Road SE — either direction from 7 p.m. on April 1 to 6 a.m. on April 2.

Yelm Highway and Henderson Boulevard area — 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on April 2.

It is possible security cameras in those areas may have picked up footage of the truck, which also could have been towing a utility trailer. Anyone with information is asked to contact sheriff’s office detectives at 360-786-5530 or via email at detectives@co.thurston.wa.us.

Jeffrey Kian Zizz is suspected of killing Norman, 82, earlier this month. He is charged with murder in the first degree, kidnapping in the first degree and unlawful disposal of human remains.

Zizz appeared in Thurston County Superior Court before Judge Mary Sue Wilson for a preliminary hearing on Monday, April 21. Zizz is being held without bail in Thurston County Jail. Additional charges may follow as the investigation continues.

Norman vanished earlier this month from her residence near McIntosh Lake. Her family said they had not heard from Norman since April 1.

An investigation into the disappearance of Norman by sheriff’s office detectives turned up evidence that eventually led authorities to discover her remains.

She was last known to have had dinner with Zizz, her handyman, at her residence on April 1. 

Zizz, a convicted child molester who was identified as a person of interest early on in the case, left the state in the aftermath of Norman’s disappearance but was later arrested on an outstanding warrant at a motel in Missoula, Montana, by Missoula Police Department personnel. 

“Detectives discovered Zizz recently built a shed on an unrelated property in Olympia the day after Marcia Norman was reported missing. On April 9th, (detectives) obtained power equipment to move the shed and excavate the ground beneath it,” the sheriff’s office said in an update in the case on April 15.

“Detectives discovered human remains buried under the shed and partially encased in concrete. On April 10th, the Thurston County Coroner’s Office confirmed the remains were those of Marcia Norman.”
