  • Christopher Monfort, Suspect in Murder of Officer Tim Brenton, Wanted to Be a Cop

    Posted November, 7 at 2:38 pm by Caleb Hannan, The Daily Weekly

    ​
    UPDATE: Police say they had a link between the arson and the shooting long before they had a suspect. Details after the jump.

    Thanks to the hard work of reporters at the Seattle Times and P-I, we now know a lot more about Christopher Monfort, the 41-year-old Tukwila man suspected of killing Officer Timothy Brenton on Halloween night. And the more we learn, the more Monfort lines up with the profile provided by Seattle police on Thursday: a man who both acts like, and admires, the police officer he gunned down.

    The paper-trail left behind by Monfort suggests a man whose idealism may have soured over time into disillusionment. Rosemary Stevens rented a room to Monfort 18 years ago in Pasadena. The actress tells the P-I that while he was working as a waiter in a steakhouse, Monfort's dream was to wear a badge for the L.A.P.D.

  • Note Threatening Police Found Shortly Before Murder of Officer Timothy Brenton

    Posted November, 7 at 11:29 am by Caleb Hannan, The Daily Weekly

    Did the torching of three police cars have anything to do with the murder of a Seattle cop?
    ​
    UPDATE: Police now believe that Christopher Monfort, the suspect in the murder of Officer Tim Brenton, is also responsible for the fires. Details after the jump.

    On October 22nd, someone torched four police vehicles including three squad cars in a city maintenance yard near Qwest Field. Police didn't say much about it then, labeling the incident an arson without releasing many details. Now, in light of the murder of Officer Timothy Brenton, a source has told the Seattle Times that investigators may be taking a closer look at the fires.

  • It's Official: Pavement's Playing Sasquatch! 2010

    Yep: Sasquatch 2010! goes down at the Gorge on May 29, 30, and 31
    Tickets: Three-day passes are on sale now for $170 via Ticketmaster
    Other Bands: The complete lineup will be announced on Feb. 16. Follow Reverb for bands to start trickling out.

    We actually were given the Pavement news Friday morning, but the news was embargoed until right now. You should have seen the look on Sara Brickner's face when I told her. I'm sure she's not the only one who was considering a trip to NYC for a reunion show. This is a coup, obviously, for Sasquatch! to come out and snag one of what will surely be the hot summer festival gets. Now, if they'd hurry up and book Dylan or Willie Nelson to mix it up, we'll be in good shape.

    In related news, we'd like to thank all that is holy that Sasquatch! is keeping itself at three days and not making good on those rumors to stretch to four. There ain't enough medicated Gold Bond in the world to make that comfortable.

  • Mike McGinn's Lead Grows, Recount Almost Certain

    Posted November, 6 at 8:11 pm by Caleb Hannan, The Daily Weekly
    neverendingstory.jpg
    What we're headed for.
    ​
    UPDATE: McGinn has established a commanding lead. At least, relative to how close things have been so far. More details after the jump.

    The small lead enjoyed by mayoral candidate Mike McGinn got slightly less small yesterday. McGinn picked up 53 more votes than did opponent Joe Mallahan, giving him 515 more votes at the moment. However, with 138,000 ballots left to score, a number nearly equal to the amount already counted, the election is far from decided.

    An extra 27,000-plus ballots were received by King County elections yesterday. And another 4,700 have been challenged because the signatures on them don't match the signatures on file. All of which means that we're probably headed for a recount. Now it's just a matter of figuring out which kind.

  • Suspect in Tim Brenton's Murder Shot by Police

    Posted November, 6 at 8:01 pm by Caleb Hannan, The Daily Weekly

    Tim Brenton's killer may be in police custody.
    ​
    Minutes after the Key Arena Memorial Service for slain Officer Tim Brenton had ended, a 41-year-old man suspected in his murder was shot in the head by Seattle police in Tukwila. The suspect is currently in critical condition at Harborview.

    Police received a tip that a car matching the Datsun suspected of being used in the drive-by was draped with a cover outside of an apartment complex. When officers tried to stop the car's owner he turned and fled up an exterior staircase. When the man pulled a gun the cops shot him multiple times. Two men connected with the suspect were also arrested.

  • Judgement Day: Rebecca Long Sentenced to 41 Months in Prison

    Posted November, 6 at 6:30 pm by Vernal Coleman, The Daily Weekly
    Pomeroy feature
    ​
    Last month, a King County Superior Court judge gave Jon Pomeroy the maximum penalty for his role in the purposeful starvation of his daughter. Just hours ago, Rebecca Long, Pomeroy's estranged wife and the source of the abuse that left her teenage stepdaughter weighing just 48 pounds, was sentenced to the same--41 months in prison.

    The ruling came at the end of a day of wrangling between Long's defense team and King County prosecutors. Long's attorney, Robert Wayne tried and failed to keep under seal evidence of Long's alleged psychological difficulties. He'd stated in previous hearings that Long's behavior could be explained by Disassociative Identity Disorder and requested that she receive a more lenient sentence. Presiding judge William Downing ultimately declined to oblige.

    Kris doesn't think Terry Lee Alexander deserves a second chance.
    ​
    Readers Kris and Robyn respond to Should Terry Lee Alexander, the "Obituary Burglar," be Given a Second Chance? Looks like they'll have to agree to disagree.

    Kris: "Sad thing is Terry hasn't turned his life around, and those folks don't need to be hurt by him. He's done nothing but hurt the people around him and has no remorse for the crimes he's done over the years. Yes I can say this because I know him and have for years."

    Robyn: "Thank you for telling the real story. And yes, Mr. Alexander should be allowed to keep his job. He has paid his debt to society and has turned his life around. He deserves the chance!"

  • Saturday Night: Laura Musselman's Photos of Fleet Foxes, Cave Singers, The Long Winters at Solo Bar

    Posted November, 6 at 4:25 pm by Chris Kornelis, Reverb

    Robin Pecknold, Fleet Foxes.
    The opening party for Laura Musselman's "Give Me a Moment," is at 8 p.m., Saturday at Solo Bar in Lower Queen Anne.
    ​
    After several years of traveling around the Midwest in pursuit of Barusk bands like The Long Winters and Death Cab for Cutie, Laura Musselman finally decided to cut to the chase and re-locate in 2006. "I took my camera every time I went to a show in Seattle," she says. "I took lots of horrible pictures."

    By the time we found her the following year at an in-store performance at Easy Street -- where she was then employed -- she'd just started getting serious and bought her first SLR. Our camera malfunctioned, and we tapped this enthusiastic, trigger-happy shooter on the shoulder. Might you be interested in lending a few pictures our direction?

    It's been nearly three years and Musselman has not only avoided burnout, but her pictures -- frequently as often as three and four nights a week -- have only gotten sharper, and more original. She's chronicled the rise of local do-gooders Fleet Foxes, captured her heroes in Pearl Jam recently at KeyArena, and developed a crush on Elvis Perkins.

    Go have a drink with her tomorrow night. And if you can't make it tomorrow, be sure to stop in and see her work by the end of the month.
