Seventy-eight-year-old Patricia Jimerfield was found deceased on Tuesday
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has tentatively identified the victim in a suspicious death case in the Lakeshore area as 78-year-old Patricia Jimerfield. Investigators have been in contact with her family. Official identification will come from the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“We can confirm that on the morning of October 8th, Jimerfield was notified by her bank that there were pending fraudulent charges on her account,’’ read a statement from the CCSO Thursday. “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. The Clark County Medical Examiner determined that Jimerfield was strangled by another person.
On Tuesday (Oct. 8), CCSO deputies 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. That female has now been identified as Jimerfield. The CCSO Major Crimes Unit (MCU) responded to the scene. Detectives were at the residence overnight and into the morning. Investigators are investigating the death as a homicide.
This investigation is an active and ongoing investigation.
