Scores of people came out to help search for Janice Rennells’ brother, James Rennells, after he went missing Friday.
It makes sense, she said. People loved him.
“People were coming out on Christmas Day to search for him, so many people,” Janice said.
James Rennells, 41, was last seen at work on Friday and hadn’t been seen or heard from since.
Searchers found his body in the Leverich Park area Wednesday, by a creek near the Ellen Davis Trail, his sister said.
A vehicle theft suspect cornered by sheriff’s deputies in a Hockinson school parking lot Tuesday refused to surrender and was apprehended only after deputies put K-9 Gus to work.
Dmitriy A. Sharshakov, 23, was arrested on suspicion of motor vehicle theft and attempting to flee from police. Both the U.S. Marshals Service and local agencies had felony warrants out for his arrest, according to Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
Following Sharshakov’s arrest, police also linked this incident to a separate stolen vehicle abandoned in the area earlier Tuesday.
One of those business owners, Sophie Wegecsanyi, a co-owner of Wattle Tree Place, said she would like to see the new owner of the block work with existing tenants rather than raze and redevelop.
If the developer chooses the latter, Wegecsanyi said, Wattle Tree might have to move.
Two new developments could come storming onto Mill Plain Boulevard soon, according to newly released pre-applications filed with the city of Vancouver. They are miles apart, but both could make a big splash.
The first: Al Angelo Co., the property development firm, plans to add another cluster of Class A offices and ground-floor retail in downtown Vancouver.
When it comes to drug addiction, Penny Davis said, no story is ever really finished. That’s why this family pulls no punches when it comes to their pride and joy, 18-year-old Alora Munday-Davis.
Follow the wrong path, and “You could wind up raped and murdered by the side of the road,” Penny Davis told her granddaughter. “I know your birthmarks so I’ll be able to identify the body.”
