Who Killed Joanne Boyer? Police Need Your Help

EATONVILLE, WA - Joanne Boyer was inside her rural Pierce County home early Monday morning when someone opened fire outside. The bullets pierced the wall of Boyer's home, and one hit the 66-year-old and killed her.

Several of her family members were home and asleep at the time. They woke up to the sound of gunshots.

Pierce County detectives believe the shooting happened around 3:15 a.m. and that the suspect or suspects fired from a vehicle outside the home. Boyer lived at a home along the 30900 block of Webster Road East, which is in an unincorporated area between Graham and Eatonville.

There's a $1,000 reward available for information leading to an arrest of the people responsible for Boyer's death. You can call Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if you have information about the murder.

Boyer was the 14th murder victim in unincorporated Pierce County so far in 2018. Just hours earlier, a 24-year-old man was shot and killed by his cousin at a home in the South Hill area. The killer allegedly thought the cousin was the devil.
