Norman was last heard from on April 1, 2025. The missing person bulletin shared online stated that she has disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

According to the CBS News website, Norman's body was discovered on April 9. She was buried underneath a shed, and her body was partially encased in concrete. Authorities believe her handyman, Jeffrey Zizz, was the last person to see her alive.

Investigators located Norman's body on April 9. Her remains were discovered beneath a shed in Olympia, not far from Tenino, which they say Zizz built one day after Norman's family filed their missing person report. The remains were buried and partially encased in concrete.

Zizz fled the state of Washington as law enforcement officials searched for Norman. He was later located and arrested at a motel in Missoula, Montana, according to a press release from the Thurston County Sheriff's Office.

Following his arrest, Zizz was extradited back to Washington, where he is currently being held without bail.
