Clark County sheriff’s detectives served search warrants Tuesday in connection with the slaying of a 78-year-old woman who was found dead last month in her west Hazel Dell home.
Investigators had not made any arrests as of Tuesday afternoon in the Oct. 8 homicide of Patricia Jimerfield, the sheriff’s office said.
The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office said Jimerfield was strangled with a ligature.
Videos submitted to The Columbian showed police activity Tuesday morning at Jimerfield’s house, on the corner of Northwest 26th Avenue and 99th Street.
Deputies and Clark County Fire District 6 responded to a medical call at 9:41 p.m. Oct. 8 at Jimerfield’s home. They found the woman dead inside, according to a sheriff’s office news release. There were no signs of forced entry or burglary at the home.
