A suspect accused of murdering a missing couple from Thurston County has been ordered to be held without bail. Shocking new court documents reveal that the man brutally killed chiropractor Karen Koep and her husband and then concealed their bodies. The motive behind the heinous crime is believed to stem from a dispute with musician Davido, who was considering evicting the suspect from their property.
Following the hearing, Koep’s sisters expressed their distress after seeing the man suspected of killing the couple, along with a grim description of the crime scene. Thurston County Deputy Prosecutor, Jennifer Lord, disclosed that crime scene investigators found an overwhelming amount of blood in the couple’s home, signifying a fatal situation. Blood was also discovered in the vehicles of both Karen Koep and the suspect, Timothy Burke.
The heartbroken family of the victims, including their sons and their spouses, attended the bail hearing, visibly emotional. Forty-five-year-old Timothy Burke is facing accusations of murdering the couple. According to court documents, Burke was a tenant living on a property owned by Davido and had expressed negative sentiments and baseless accusations towards Davido. Investigative findings revealed that shell casings from Burke’s firearm were found in the couple’s home, further implicating him in the crime.
Amidst the emotional hearing, a friend of the couple implored Burke to disclose the whereabouts of the bodies, but the suspect remained silent, speaking only to confirm his date of birth. The case remains a mystery as no closure has been provided for the grieving family and community.
