Jordan Sullivan is Jimerfield’s grandson, and Alyssa is described as a close friend of Jordan. In addition to the murder, both are suspected of committing Theft from the 78-year-old Jimerfield the night before her murder and then fraudulently using her bankcard prior to the murder.

Background
On the morning of Oct. 8, Jimerfield was notified by her bank that there were pending fraudulent charges on her account. Jimerfield then checked her purse and discovered her wallet was missing, then filed a fraud report with CCSO. Investigators are looking into the fraudulent charges.
There were no signs of forced entry or a burglary at the residence.
Later on Oct. 8, CCSO and Clark County Fire District 6 were dispatched to a medical call for an unresponsive person at a residence near NW 26th Avenue and NW 99th Street in the Lakeshore area of Vancouver.
First responders located a deceased female inside the residence. The victim was later identified as Jimerfield. The Major Crimes Unit responded to the scene. Detectives were at the residence overnight and into the morning.
