EVERETT, JAN. 28: On Saturday, Jan. 25 Everett Police Detective Susan Logothetti in partnership with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, arrested a male in connection with the 1989 murder of Mary Ann Daniels.
On February 1, 1989, Daniels was found murdered in her residence located in the 2100 block of Hoyt Ave. Daniels was a 33-year-old disabled woman who had been placed into transitional living by her caseworker.
“Our investigators diligently pursue justice for the victims of violent crime in our community,” Everett Police Chief John DeRousse said. “We are thankful for Detective Logothetti’s perseverance in this investigation. Due to her hard work, this suspect will be held accountable nearly 36 years later.”
Joseph Andrew Jacquez, a former resident of Everett, was identified using Forensic Genetic Genealogy from biological material left on Daniel’s body. DNA from the actual instrument of her death has been identified as belonging to Jacquez.
“She faced unfortunate circumstances while living in a transitional rental house which her social worker placed her in. She should have protected her from this happening, but instead put her in danger, and in the end, Mary Ann lost her life,” Daniel’s sister Sandi Lundin said. “She had a hard life and is now at peace. Thanks to all that made this happen.”
The suspect was booked into jail locally in Clark County, Nevada and will be extradited to Snohomish County, according to the press release.
“Mary Ann was trusting, carefree and always believed the good in people. She has never been forgotten by her family,” Daniel’s brother Terry Saline said.
