A Spanaway man who is suspected of killing his ex-wife has
disappeared, and there are concerns he might have taken
his
own life.
Pierce County detectives believe 49-year-old Scott Kagawa
murdered his ex-wife Rita in May. She had been reported
missing when she didn’t show up to her job at Wal-Mart for
three days.
On June 26, her body was discovered near Joint Base Lewis-
McChord off SR 510.
Detectives say Kagawa hasn’t been helpful in the
investigation and lied on multiple occasions. The News Tribune
reports he has also threatened suicide.
Scott Kagawa has now not been seen in days, and a first
degree murder warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $1000
reward for
any information that leads to his capture.
