I don’t know about the locaion of the judge; most likely Olympia.
But one of the officials in the investigation was not happy with the deceased man’s family. This official wanted an autopsy done, believing the circumstances behind the death suspect.
This latest icident reinforces that suspicion.
Probably Tacoma.
Mt. Rainier is in Pierce County, abt 28 miles SE of where I live, also in Pierce County.
Olympia is in Thurston County.
