Slaying suspects planned ‘to kill more Jews’

An Oregon white supremacist and his girlfriend linked to four slayings in three states, including two killings in Everett, were driving to Sacramento, Calif., to “kill more Jews” when they were arrested by police, according to charging documents.

 

The documents filed in Snohomish County allege that David Joseph “Joey” Pedersen, 31, and his girlfriend, Holly Ann Grigsby, 24, had killed Pedersen’s father and stepmother in Everett, then drove in the dead man’s car to Oregon, where Grigsby said they shot and killed 19-year-old Cody Myers and stole his car.

 

Grigsby told police they shot Myers “because his last name made them think he was Jewish,” according to the charging documents. Prosecutors said Grigsby claimed that she and Pedersen then planned to drive to Sacramento to “kill more Jews.”
