Cops respond to scene of Bothell murder for the fourth time this month

Jun 20, 2013, 11:52 AM | Updated: 12:14 pm

For the fourth time in a month Bothell police have been called to the site of an unsolved murder.

Susann Smith was murdered in her Bothell home last February. Her estranged husband is the only person of interest. He was arrested Thursday for obstructing police when they attempted to serve a search warrant on his home, according to KIRO 7.

Recently, he moved back into the home he and his wife shared, and a neighbor told KING 5 he was acting a bit odd. “He’s had a girl over there, naked, in the backyard, along with him being naked as well.”

That’s what Bothell Police said they found when they responded to calls that a woman was heard screaming at the home.

Police said the husband and his new girlfriend were having sex behind a hedge. The prosecutor will decide whether to press charges for indecent exposure.

In the meantime, police say the case of Susann’s death is still open and active.

Days before Susann Smith was killed, her husband allegedly looked up flights to Venezuela for himself and his two kids.
