Bodies of four people found dead in Puyallup home identified

Authorities have identified four people found dead in a Puyallup-area home on New Year’s Eve.

Police believe a 33-year-old man killed his parents last summer and stored their bodies in a freezer before he and his girlfriend died from suicide.

The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s office has identified the parents as William Vosler, 68 and Eilieen Vosler, 66.

The son is Shane Vosler, 33, and his girlfriend is Sue Bin Lee, 34.

Deputies believe Shane and his girlfriend were living in the home for months before any foul play was discovered.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the incident.

According to authorities, deputies responded to a welfare check request from a family member on Tuesday around 10:40 a.m. Upon entering the home on Eastwood Avenue East in South Hill, they discovered the bodies of a man and a woman.

Police then found two additional bodies on the property. The identities and genders of these individuals have not been disclosed, but authorities confirmed that all four were adults.

This residence had been the subject of a previous welfare check just days earlier, but deputies were unable to enter due to insufficient information and lack of visible signs of distress,  Carly Cappetto, spokesperson for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office told KIRO 7.

Neighbors described the community as one where families tend to keep to themselves. Susan Stuart, a long-time resident, expressed her shock to KIRO 7, noting that she had only briefly interacted with the homeowners.

Deputies are not seeking any additional suspects.
