GUILTY WA - Joseph Moisa, 66, & Michael Henderson, 20, murdered, Spanaway, 17 Aug 2014

A sex offender suspected of killing his two roommates in Frederickson claims the two victims were "grooming" boys for sex, according to court documents.

The suspect, 40-year-old Richard Atkisson, pleaded not guilty in court Monday on a fugitive warrant out of California. Prosecutors have yet to file charges in the double homicide, but Atkisson is being held without bail for investigation of murder.

A sheriff's deputy found the bodies of the two victims, 20-year-old Michael Henderson and 66-year-old Joseph Moisa, Sunday morning while doing a routine sex offender address check at the Frederickson home.
