From Staff And Wire Reports

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the slayings of a woman and her young son, who were found lying next to their car in the middle of a road.

The bodies of Stacey Falcon-Dewey, 23, and her 3-year-old son, Jacob, were found Oct. 28. They had been shot to death.

Falcon-Dewey, a waitress, was last seen about 1:30 a.m. Oct. 28 when she picked up her son from a babysitter.

Police say she had visited friends at a couple of restaurants earlier in the evening, leaving the last one about 1:15 a.m.

A convenience store clerk near the last restaurant she visited reported seeing a woman matching Falcon-Dewey’s description come into the store with a man. Police have not been able to identify the man.

The reward is being offered by Seattle-King County Crimestoppers.
