Relatives of a Kent woman have put up a $10,000 reward in an effort to help the Seattle Police solve her murder.
Detectives have sought the public’s help since Greggette Renee Guy, 51, was found March 12 floating in the Puget Sound offshore of West Seattle.
“It’s an active and ongoing investigation,” said Seattle Police spokesman Mark Jamison. “We understand the family has put out a reward.”
Jamieson said a reward can make a difference in solving a case.
“Sometimes people are motivated by money or the renewed interest sparks a memory,” Jamieson said.
Dwight Guy, the husband of Greggette Guy, appeared on KCPQ Q13 news Wednesday to talk about the case and let people know about the reward.
According to Seattle Police, at approximately 7:30 a.m. March 12, a resident reported seeing a body floating in Puget Sound approximately 30 feet off-shore of the 3800 block of Beach Drive Southwest. Detectives responded to the scene and determined two days later that the death was a homicide.
Detectives believe Guy parked her 2010 Buick Lacrosse in the 4400 block of Beach Drive Southwest on Sunday night, March 11. She had planned to take a walk along the beach. Guy was found deceased just offshore the next morning.
Jamieson would not comment about the cause of death of Guy. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office released the identification of Guy but said the cause of death is pending an investigation by the Seattle Police.
“There is a reason why detectives will hold back certain information (about a murder investigation),” Jamieson said.
Along with her husband, Guy is survived by daughter Darilyn Guy. She was a longtime volunteer with Girl Scouts. Her father, two brothers and two sisters also survive her. She worked as a credit analyst for more than 14 years at Pacific Aero Tech, a Kent aviation and aerospace company. She graduated from Central Washington University in 1997 and from Highline Community College in 1994.
Seattle Police hope a public tip could lead to the killer.
“Detectives have been working on this ever since we received the call,” Jamieson said. “We hope to get assistance from the public. If people were in that area at that time and might have seen something, we’d love a phone call from them.”
Anyone with information about the case should call the Seattle Police Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
