trigger warning: violence against women, death of a child, and mentions of sexual assault

On January 30th, 1986, a mother and her 4 year old daughter were found strangled to death in their home in Bremerton, Washington. No suspects would ever be arrested in relation to the killings and the case would go cold. This is the story of Helene Anderson and Adrianne Hale.

If you or anyone you know has any information about the case or that could be connected to the case in any way please call the Bremerton Police Department at (360)-473-5488

Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS

You can also contact Detective Martin Garland personally at 360-473-5488.

For each victim I work to place flowers at their grave site, if their burial information is available. I do this by either driving there myself if I’m in the local area, or sending flowers via a delivery service. If you’d like to help offset the costs and in turn show your support for the victims, you can donate any amount through this link.
