Seattle Police continue to be tight-lipped in releasing details on the murder investigation of 51-year-old Greggette Renee Guy, whose body was found floating in the Puget Sound on March 12. Her body was recovered a half-mile north of where she parked her car the evening before at Me-Kwa-Mooks park along Beach Drive S.W.

Southwest Precinct Captain Steve Paulsen addressed the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council on Tuesday night, March 20, and released a few subtle details on the investigation, the most telling an indication that the murder may not have been random. (Editor's note for March 29: The above statement was updated to show it is an inference into Captain Paulsen's statement, not a conclusion)

"Just know that if there was something where I was concerned about your safety as a community we would tell you, trust me we would tell you,” he said. “Hopefully you can kind of read between the lines of my cryptic messaging on that.”

“I can tell you that your West Seattle parks are safe … in light of the tragic homicide,” Paulsen added.

He did not speak to whether police have a suspect or whether the suspect knew the murder victim.

When asked if police believe the homicide occurred at Me-Kwa-Mooks or whether they were still searching for the crime location, Paulsen said, "I cannot say for sure on anything, but I can say … based on the information we have ... I feel pretty confident that it happened pretty close to that area.”

SPD has not released a time frame for when they think Guy arrived at the park to take a walk, but Paulsen said "evening" was a safe estimate.

Paulsen said the entire homicide unit is working the case "day and night" and SPD is bringing in additional resources to help out.

"We hold a lot of stuff close because our goal is to have the most professional, detailed and complete investigation ... to get this person and see it successfully through the court system,” he said.
