The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a man they want to question about a triple murder near Lacey last week.

Thurston County Chief Deputy Dave Pearsall says investigators found half a pound of methamphetamine, heroin, thousands of dollars in cash and about half a dozen firearms in a travel trailer in the 500 block of Dutterow Road Southeast where two men and a woman were found dead on Wednesday, June 22.

The three people who were killed were 36 year-old Gerald M. Berkey of Elma, 28 year-old Jackson L. Edens of Olympia, and 31 year-old Terron R. McGrath of Olympia.

The sheriff’s office says Enrique Jodeci Lamere is considered to be a material witness in the investigation.  He is known to frequent the Nisqually Valley and his last known address is in Lacey.

Lamere is described as 23 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 pounds with brown eyes. He also goes by the name Ricky.

Anyone who knows Lamere’s whereabouts is asked to contact detective Elkins at 360-701-0000 or detective Clark at 360-549-6327. The detectives may also be reached through dispatch at 360-704-2740.
