King County, Washington, September 26, 2018. Jeremy Shaw sits down with two detectives, wearing a jacket that belonged to Steven Morphis, a 67-year-old Boeing retiree found dead in a shed on his own land near Renton six days earlier. A few minutes later, down the hall, two other detectives sit down with his wife, Lorena.
This is his statement, line by line: six things he told detectives, and which of them came off the sheet, in his own words and in hers.
In April 2022, after a six-week trial, a King County jury found Jeremy Shaw guilty of premeditated first-degree murder and second-degree arson. Judge Matthew Williams sentenced him to 548 months. Lorena Shaw pleaded guilty to residential burglary, conspiracy to commit theft and rendering criminal assistance and was sentenced to four years in October 2021.
