A 51-year-old Lake Stevens man and a 49-year-old Seattle woman have pleaded not guilty to first degree murder charges in connection with the killing of a decorated Navy veteran inside his North Seattle apartment in December.
Prosecutors say Charles Jungbluth and Gilda Ramirez killed 70-year-old Patrick Flemming to get to something he owned.
“The defendants are being accused of being particularly interested in a coin collection that the victim had, a rather rare one and large one,” says Ian Goodhew with the King County Prosecutor’s Office.
Seventy-year-old Francis “Patrick” Flaming was found dead inside his apartment in the Four Freedoms senior independent-living center on Dec. 8.
Jungbluth and Ramirez are being held on $2 million bail.
