FERNDALE, WASH. – With a deadline fast approaching, Bellingham Police still need whoever hired a hitman to kill a Ferndale woman in 2014.
Police have two weeks before the statute of limitations expires to press charges against the person.
Police say a man slit a woman’s throat and fired a handgun at her as she lay on the floor.
She was left for dead but was able to get outside and get help from a neighbor.
Police say Chad Horne was responsible.
He took his own life during a police chase.
Horne’s live-in girlfriend, Lesley Villatoro, is serving a 40-year sentence for being an accomplice.
But, Bellingham Police detectives working the case still have some unanswered questions and are seeking more information.
Call police if you have any new information about the case.
