In the quiet town of Naches, Washington, a grim discovery was made on December 28, 2020, shattering the holiday season's peace. Inside a home on West 4th Street, the bodies of 44-year-old Albina Victoria Devos and her 72-year-old father, Michael John Casey, were found. A concerned individual, unable to reach them by phone, had gone to their residence only to be met with a tragic scene.
Both father and daughter had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
The Yakima County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into the deaths, treating the case as a homicide. Detectives began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the violent end of two lives. They interviewed family members and neighbors, seeking any information that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Authorities also appealed to the public for assistance, asking anyone with security or doorbell camera footage from the area to come forward.
Despite their efforts, the case has remained shrouded in mystery. Autopsies confirmed that both Albina and her father died from gunshot wounds, but the exact nature of the incident—whether it was a double homicide or a murder-suicide—has not been definitively determined. As of the latest reports, no arrests have been made in connection with the deaths, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The community of Naches was left in a state of shock and grief, grappling with the unanswered questions surrounding the sudden and violent loss of two of its residents. The investigation into the deaths of Albina Devos and Michael Casey remains an open and active case.
