Retired Yakima County Sheriff's Deputy Ed Levesque

I can't imagine what went through her mind.

No tears. Don't think about your wife. Stop shaking.

It's been a ride. I've seen a lot, learned a lot.

It came out as like a welfare check. Sometimes they're absolutely nothing and sometimes they're bad.

You have to drive down a series of two-lane county roads. There's no street lights out here. The further out you go, the less homes you'll see.

My first thought was that there was a

a police officer already here and as i approached him i could see that he was not a police officer however it was a guy standing just outside the driver's side of that door with the door open and i saw that he had a pistol pointed at the house it was scott i says what are you doing with the gun did you go inside the house and check on your wife he says no i don't know what i'm gonna find in there

I could see part of her body. And as I got closer, I could see that she had obviously suffered multiple gunshots. And I could see casings on the floor. I could see a lot of trauma, a lot of blood. And it was obvious that she was deceased. You know, I've been to quite a few homicides that involved firearms, but not like this.

Looking at how many times she had been shot, it was obvious to me that person wanted to make sure she was dead.

We secured the gun and we put him in the back of the patrol car.

Talk about twists. I was completely blown away.

We were searching through the house, and I could see Desiree on the floor. She was shot very violently. Scott was very talkative.

He had no emotion whatsoever. None whatsoever. It wasn't like he was trying to absorb bad news. I don't believe he ever asked me questions about how his wife died.
