Washington Woman, Boyfriend Charged With Murder of 6 Family Members
Friday, December 28, 2007

 
 

SEATTLE —  A woman and her boyfriend were charged Friday with aggravated first-degree murder in the methodical Christmas Eve shootings of her parents, her brother, his wife and their two young children.

Michele K. Anderson and Joseph Thomas McEnroe, both 29, confessed to detectives they had shot six members of Anderson's family, according to court documents. Anderson said both of them shot her parents, brother and sister-in-law, while McEnroe killed the children, according to a separate affidavit.

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, who will decide whether to seek the death penalty, said the motive for the slayings may never be known.

"Given the magnitude of this crime, I pledge to give this case serious consideration for the state's ultimate penalty," Satterberg said.

Anderson and McEnroe were each charged with six counts of aggravated first-degree murder. The aggravated circumstances underlying the charges include that there were multiple victims, and that two killings — the shootings of the children — were done to conceal a crime or the perpetrators' identity.

Conviction on aggravated first-degree murder in Washington is punishable only by death or life in prison without possibility of parole. 


Anderson and McEnroe were ordered held without bail after an initial court hearing Thursday.

In police affidavits filed in court Thursday, King County Sheriff's Detective John Pavlovich described the horrific killings he said McEnroe outlined to authorities, but the detective made no mention of motive.

First, Pavlovich wrote, McEnroe and Anderson shot her parents, Wayne Anderson, 60, and Judy Anderson, 61, with large-caliber pistols and dragged the bodies to a shed. A short time later, the Andersons' son, Scott, his wife, Erica — both 32 — and their children, Olivia, 6, and Nathan, 3, arrived for a Christmas Eve visit.

"Knowing that Scott and his family were potential witnesses, Joe and Michele shot them," Pavlovich wrote. His affidavit said McEnroe shot all four.

McEnroe and Anderson confessed to authorities, court documents said. Anderson said both of them shot her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and McEnroe killed the children, according to a separate affidavit. It also does not give a motive.

McEnroe and Anderson, who had been together for six years, lived in a trailer about 200 yards from her parents' house. After the killings, they tried to flee to Canada, court documents said, but they returned the following day and were detained.

At Thursday's hearing, both defendants waived their right to appear before a judge.

McEnroe appeared briefly in the courtroom, then left with his attorney. The attorney, Devon Gibbs, did not return a call for comment Thursday.

Anderson's attorney, public defender George Eppler, said Thursday he spoke with her briefly before the hearing. "We limited our conversation solely to the issue of today's court appearance," Eppler said.

The bodies were found Wednesday morning on Wayne and Judy Anderson's property near Carnation, about 25 miles east of Seattle, by one of her co-workers, who was worried when Judy Anderson did not show up for work.

Ben Anderson, the elder couple's grandson, has said money could have been a factor in the deaths. "She felt she wasn't loved enough and everyone didn't appreciate her and she was pushed out of everyone's life," he said Wednesday night, referring to Michele Anderson.

McEnroe's mother, Sean Johnson of Minneapolis, said she hasn't had much contact with McEnroe since he cut ties with his family after a dispute over money.

She told The Seattle Times that her eldest son was a "good Christian" and she was shocked he had been arrested in the slayings.

It ticks me off big time when adults kill other adults for lame reasons...but to kill children too, that is insane.

In court documents filed Thursday, sheriff's Detective John Pavlovich described the horrific killings allegedly outlined by McEnroe.

Pavlovich wrote that the couple first shot her parents, Wayne Anderson, 60, and Judy Anderson, 61, using a .357-caliber revolver and a 9 mm pistol, and dragged the bodies to a shed. A short time later, the dead couple's son, Scott, his wife, Erica -- both 32 -- along with their 3-year-old son, Nathan, and 6-year-old daughter, Olivia, arrived for a Christmas Eve visit.

Michele confronted her brother when he arrived, according to the charging documents, and both she and McEnroe shot him.

"Scott's wife, Erica, witnessed the killing and dialed 911. As she did, she was unable to speak to the 911 operator," Satterberg said.

The court papers state that Erica pleaded with McEnroe, saying, "You don't have to do this." He told investigators that he said, "Yes, we do."

"In this small room, witnessing this horror, was 6-year-old Olivia Anderson and her 3-year-old brother, Nathan. We alleged that McEnroe spoke to each child and apologized for what he was about to do. The evidence will show that McEnroe then shot each child in the head from very close range," said Satterberg.

Both McEnroe, a clerk at a suburban Target store, and Anderson, who was unemployed, confessed to authorities, court documents said. Anderson said both of them shot her parents, brother and sister-in-law, while McEnroe killed the children, according to a separate affidavit. Neither document gives a motive for the deaths.

McEnroe and Anderson, who had been together for six years, lived in a trailer about 200 yards from her parents' house.

The court documents indicate the couple tried to flee to Canada after the killings, but returned to the scene the following day for some reason, where they were detained and confessed.

It's been in the news all day here.  From what I've heard, they were a well liked family.  Nothing strange or hidden that would warrant this type of behavior.  They obviously aren't talking about the daughter.  She needs to die slowly!

Drugs and money would be guess as to why. What a brutal act these 2 carried out on 3 generations of family. I hope they get death.




Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride..

All McEnroe needs is a swastika tattoo on his forehead and he'd be Manson's twin.  Sick puke.  He's "sorry" they're gone??  No, he's sorry he didn't get away with it.  The maggot.

Pointing a loaded gun at a child looking at you, then pulling the trigger and killing them is worse than an animal!  There has to be no "brain wave feelings" in his body, at all!  Totally "void"!!   How ANY attorney could defend shit like that, is beyond me!

I have to agree with you there, Fox.  I think the only saving grace here is that it can't be much of a defense.  is a defense attorney supposed to do with a guy like that?  I have a feeling that the most the defense will do is argue insanity.  That will obviously be rejected, as they knew what they were doing.

In cases like this, whatever punishment they get will be too merciful, unfortunately.
