Everett woman linked to possible hit man in attorney's killing
SEATTLE — A woman indicted two weeks ago for allegedly obstructing a grand jury investigation into the 2001 shooting death of Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Wales has ties to two men entangled in the investigation into the unsolved killing, according to court documents and interviews that shed new light on what led to the indictment.
Shawna Reid, 34, of Everett, once had a romantic relationship with one of the men, a 38-year-old Camano Island resident who has been repeatedly questioned by the FBI and may possess key information in the case, the court documents and interviews with relatives show.
According to the man’s mother, her son and Reid moved in a small circle of friends that included another man, who the group believed to be the hit man who shot Wales.
Reid is charged in an indictment unsealed Aug. 20 for allegedly lying to a Seattle grand jury about statements made to her by an individual identified as “suspect #1,” who federal agents believe bragged to Reid about being involved in Wales’ death. Reid has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the first indictment to be filed in the case, spurring new momentum in the 18-year-old investigation.
The FBI has long focused on a commercial airline pilot, who was living in Beaux Arts Village south of Bellevue at the time of the shooting. He was prosecuted by Wales and, according to sources, is now suspected of arranging Wales’ death with the help of someone who served as an intermediary with the hit man.
