GRANITE FALLS, Wash. - Four years after his wife and daughter were found murdered while hiking in the Mt. Baker National Forest, David Stodden still has hope their killer will be found.
I know this will one day be solved , Stodden says. Someone knows something .
On the anniversary of the murder, Stodden walks the Pinnacle Lake Trail where Mary Cooper and Susanna Stodden were both found shot in the head. Their bodies were discovered about two miles up the trail by two other hikers on their decent.
Cooper was a Seattle school librarian.
Snohomish County Sheriff's Investigators have no suspects and still have no leads.
David Stodden was given two Polygraph tests not long after the murder but was never named as a suspect.
I don't like the way I was treated during parts of the investigation , Stodden says. If we keep this information out there, the real person who did this will be caught. I truly believe that .
Stodden still hangs posters with his wife and daughter's pictures on them.
I'll never stop until this is over , he says.
