Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — A
woman
acknowledged
kidnapping a woman she
knew and picking up a
$250,000 ransom that
authorities handed over in
hopes of the safe return of
the victim, but her body was
found along a rural road two
days later, a police report
said Monday.
Police tailed and arrested
Theresa Wiltse, 49, after she
got the ransom for Sandra
Harris, 69, at a gourmet
grocery store Friday night,
the document said.
“Theresa confessed to
being part of the kidnap-
ping,” along with two men
she identified only as “Jose”
and “Jesus,” the report said.
But her “role appears
to be much bigger than
she claims,” police wrote,
adding that blood was found
in the back seat of Wiltse’s
vehicle and it was being
analyzed.
Harris appeared to have
suffered a gunshot wound,
but an autopsy will be
conducted later this week to
establish when and how she
died, prosecutors said. A
driver found Sandra Harris’
body Sunday in arid scru-
bland along a road south of
Kennewick, off Interstate
82.
The kidnapping was not
random — Wiltse knew the
victim and her husband,
Randy Harris, who owns
a pawn shop in the city
of Kennewick called Ace
Jewelry and Loan, authori-
ties said.
Wiltse lives in the small
town of Connell about 40
miles away. She worked as
a state prison guard in Walla
Walla from 2008 to 2010,
when she quit, the Correc-
tions Department said.
“The exact nature of
how they are known to each
other is still a part of this
investigation,” police said
in a statement.
A man who answered
the phone at the pawn shop
Monday said Randy Harris
was not there and declined
additional comment.
Wiltse, who was booked
on suspicion of kidnapping,
had her bail set at $1 million
during a brief court appear-
ance. Prosecutors have until
Wednesday to charge her.
Police only have Wiltse
in custody but said they
were not ruling out the
possibility of additional
arrests.
“But we do not have any
specific persons that we are
looking for,” according to
police in the community
about 130 miles southwest
of Spokane.
Harris was kidnapped
Friday from her Kennewick
home, police said. Harris
called her husband at work
from her cellphone to say the
kidnapper was demanding
money, they said.
The FBI joined local
police in contacting the
suspect and negotiating
for several hours before
agreeing to meet up in rural
Franklin County that night
to pay the ransom.
Shortly afterward, a
SWAT team arrested Wiltse
near the tiny community of
Eltopia. She was driving a
rental car with California
plates.
Corrections
An article in the Nov. 19-20 weekend edition of the
East Oregonian incorrectly stated how many semi-trail-
ers it would take to equal the 4.3 million tons of car-
go shipped on the Snake River. The correct figure is
167,000 trucks. The East Oregonian works hard to be
accurate and sincerely regrets any errors. If you no-
tice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818.
