A cold case from 1994 -- the brutal killing of a mother and her son in a Seattle suburb -- has allegedly been solved, according to court documents filed this week.
Jerome Frank Jones, 51, has been charged with aggravated murder in the 1994 deaths of Stacy Falcon-Dewey, 23, and her 3-year-old son, Jacob Dewey, in Renton, Washington, according to the documents filed Tuesday. Jones is currently imprisoned for murdering a man in 1995 in California, prosecuting attorney Jessica Berliner said. Online records show he is not eligible for parole in that state until 2030.
How police solved the caseThe bodies of Falcon-Dewey and her son were discovered on October 28, 1994, after a Seattle Times newspaper delivery person called 911 and reported seeing the mother's body, according to a probable cause document. When the officers arrived, they found the pair lying in the middle of the roadway next to the mother's car, both shot in the head, the document said. The gun used in the killings has not been recovered.
