Woman imprisoned
Three men and a woman are facing charges ranging from assault to rape on allegations that they held a woman captive in a King County home. After speaking with the alleged victim, investigators were told she'd been essentially held prisoner for several days in a home in the 12600 block of 12th Ave. S. The woman's entire face was swollen and carried deep bruises, she said to investigators she'd been beaten by Candice l. Sanders, 23, then sexually assaulted by Christapher Tarence White, 21, and Luis A. Perez 22. A third man, Troy Dante O'Dell, 25, is accused of holding the woman against her will for more than two days.
Suspicious suitcase
A police bomb squad blew up a suitcase chained to a bus schedule sign at the Burien Transit Center early Feb. 1. It contained only clothes. A Metro bus driver spotted the suitcase around midnight at the center, located at 14900 4th Avenue Southwest.
Reward increased
The family of Mark Ebinger, stabbed to death last November, has increased the reward offered to $10,000 in hopes of generating tips that will lead to an arrest. Mark and his brother Peter were attacked outside a Burien bar on Nov. 12. Mark died from stab wounds at the scene. Peter was stabbed numerous times, but survived. Crimestoppers is also offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information on the case. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or the King County Sheriff's Office at 206-296-3311 (24 hours), or 9-1-1.
New Trial Set
Former King County Sheriff's Deputy Paul Schene's second assault trial will begin June 1. Schene is accused of beating a 15-year-old girl in a jail cell behind SeaTac City Hall in November 2008. His first trial ended in a mistrial when jurors reportedly voted 11-1 to convict him of the assault charge.
