A 34-year-old Edmonds man captured while attempting to flee the country on a sailboat off the Florida coast is being held in Lee County Jail awaiting an extradition hearing to Washington state for charges of child rape and child molestation.
Edmonds police began investigating the suspect in January 2021, when a woman reported to Edmonds police patrol that her ex-boyfriend had sexually assaulted her 11- and 13-year-old children. Edmonds Police Detective Stacie Trykar continued the investigation and developed probable cause to arrest the suspect for second-degree child rape and first-degree child molestation.
