Seattle stunned by 'bizarre' killings

Nine dead in nine days

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- A 3-year-old boy and his family are killed while the

father serves in Iraq. A librarian and her daughter are found shot to

death along a trail. Three young men are gunned down.

The crimes left nine people dead in as many days, stunning

this generally peaceful region. Law enforcement officials said they couldn't recall a similar string

of multiple homicides in the Seattle area.

" What's really strange about them, besides the quantity, is that every

one of these cases is very bizarre, " King County Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart

said. " We just don't have that. "

The Seattle area is no stranger to horrific crimes -- serial killers Gary

Ridgway and Ted Bundy, for example, and the unsolved assassination of federal

prosecutor Tom Wales in 2001.

But Seattle's murder rate is low for

a city of nearly 600,000. There were 24 killings in 2004 and 25 last year. Boston, of comparable size, had

61 in 2004 and 73 last year.

Seattle police spokesman Rich Pruitt noted

that none of the three mass killings this month took place within city limits,

though all were near. Still, Seattle itself has had 17 killings already this year -- more than a third

of them from one attack in March, when a man shot and killed six people at a

rave after-party in the worst mass killing the city had seen in decades.

The string of recent crimes in the

surrounding area began July 11, when

hikers found Seattle librarian Mary Cooper, 56, and her daughter, Susanna

Stodden, 27, shot to death about three miles up a popular Mount Pilchuck trail,

50 miles northeast of the city. No arrests have been made, and detectives have

revealed little about their investigation.

Then, on July 17, fire investigators in the eastern suburb

of Kirkland found the family of National Guard Sgt. Leonid Milkin dead in a

burned-out home. His 3-year old son's throat was slit. Investigators determined gasoline had been used

to start the fire.

Witness accounts led them to a next-door neighbor, who was

charged Monday with four counts of aggravated first-degree murder. Charging

papers said the neighbor, Conner Michael Schierman, 24, admitted that he woke

up in the victims' home covered in blood following an alcoholic blackout and didn't remember what had

happened.

Last Thursday, just south of the city limits, five young

people were asked to leave a bowling alley and casino because two were

underage. As they left, they argued with people who had been smoking outside a

nearby home, police said.

They pulled their car into the driveway to continue the

argument, and two men at the home -- Dimitri Sidorchuk, 23, and William Shane

Belk -- fired dozens of shots into the vehicle, court documents said. Of the

five unarmed people in the car, two were killed and three injured.
