Dave Stodden
According to The Seattle Times today:
"David Stodden has come to accept that Snohomish County sheriff's investigators might suspect he had a role in the slayings of his wife and an adult daughter while the women were hiking last summer near Mount Pilchuck.

"Stodden, 58, knows that spouses are often the first suspect in homicide cases, which he says is why he said he never pushed detectives for more details about their investigation into the July 11 slayings. When he was asked in November to take a polygraph test, Stodden said, he was angry but eventually agreed.
"But now, after undergoing questioning by a polygraph examiner on Wednesday — the results coming back inconclusive — Stodden says his patience with the investigation's focus on him is wearing thin.
"Nonetheless, Snohomish County Sheriff Rick Bart wants Stodden, of Seattle, to take the test again in hopes of obtaining a conclusive finding. But Stodden says he doesn't want to.
"I've done everything they've asked me to do, and I want the focus to be on the investigation and not me," Stodden said Friday. "I want them to solve the case. I think if I told them 'I'm not going to do this,' it could become their focus."
