On August 15, 2012, at approximately 0120hrs Deputies with the Clark County Sheriff's Office responded to a robbery occurring in the Northwest Hazel Dell neighborhood. Deputies arrived and found a 52 year old man who had suffered a severe head injury after being assaulted with a blunt instrument. Detectives with the Clark County Sheriff's Office Tactical Detective Unit as well as the Major Crimes Unit subsequently responded.
Detectives became aware that the victim had recently communicated with a woman through Craigslist. The woman identified herself as being a prostitute and agreed to meet the victim at his house. While at the house, the woman stated she needed to go to her car and get something. Shortly thereafter, a male entered the bedroom of the victim and began beating him with a blunt instrument, causing significant injuries to his head and hands. The victim was able to retrieve a handgun and the man left. The victim claimed that the woman was present while this assault took place.
Later in the day Detectives made contact with :
Danielle L. Azevedo, 24 of Salmon Creek and Jacob Diepenbrock, 40 of Aloha, Oregon. Probable Cause was established and both were arrested for Attempted Murder in the 1st Degree and Robbery in the 1st Degree. Jacob was also charged with Burglary in the 1st Degree. Both were booked into the Clark County Jail late last night. The 52 year old male victim is expected to make a full recovery.
