"Man hears noises in missing mom’s home"

A man living in the home of a missing woman reported hearing mysterious noises in the attic and crawl space.

Marvin Willey, the missing woman’s son, was so scared that he armed himself and called police.


Tews’ other son, Raymond Willey, was questioned by deputies about her disappearance and then suddenly left the state in 2011.

Before she went missing, Tews sought protection orders against Raymond Willey, who lived with her at her Sonic Lane residence. She accused him in court papers of pointing a gun at her head.
 
Disappearance likely to remain unsolved after only suspect dies

The only suspect in the 2011 disappearance of an elderly woman from her North Whidbey home has died, leaving investigators with no leads in the case.

Betty Tews was 81 and medically fragile when she went missing sometime prior to June 21 of that year. She is presumed to be dead, but her body was never found.

Detectives with the Island County Sheriff’s Office long suspected that her son, Raymond Willey, was involved in her disappearance.

Earlier this year, Detective Laura Price was notified by authorities in West Sacramento that Willey had died. A friend found him dead in his apartment on Jan. 6; he passed away from natural causes.

Even if Willey hadn’t died, detectives would have a difficult time ever charging him with anything related to his mother’s disappearance, Chief Criminal Deputy Rick Felici said. There’s no physical evidence and no body.

“I don’t have a clue where she is,” he said.
