Twenty-seven years after the death of a beloved Tacoma store owner, the investigator who worked the case is still hopeful there will be justice. “It was one of those scenes you don’t forget because there’s wailing involved,” said Mark Mann, a retired sergeant from the Tacoma Police Department.

Mann said his goal when he was at the scene 27 years ago was to preserve all the evidence possible. He remembered the cash drawer open, a man on the ground and many people surrounding him trying to help. “You never forget it, it’s just reverberating out of the store into the alley and it’s just a sound that you never, never forget because that’s the sound of guttural human pain,” he continued.
