RAVENSDALE, Wash. – A Spanaway man who reported his truck stolen this summer says he was shocked to learn that it was used to run over and kill someone in late September.
Investigators say it was stolen from Ryan Langston’s neighborhood in Spanaway around June 17, then used to kill Nick Valison months later in Ravensdale.
Detectives say Valison was run over after he confronted Andrew Baim and others going through a stolen U-Haul. Detectives say Baim later burned the truck to destroy evidence.
