MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — The daughter of a wealthy Washington businessman is scheduled to testify in the case of her vanished ex-husband, celebrity dog trainer Mark Stover.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports that Linda Opdycke will take the stand Monday afternoon at her boyfriend’s murder trial at Skagit County Superior Court.
Opdycke is the daughter of Wallace Opdycke, who founded the state’s biggest winery, Chateau Ste. Michelle. Her bodyguard-turned-boyfriend, Michiel (MIKE’-al) Oakes, is accused of killing Stover, who disappeared a year ago.
Stover’s clients included members of Pearl Jam and Nirvana, moviemaker Cameron Crowe, Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz and Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
