Crash investigation done The Snohomish County prosecutor will determine if officers’ actions were justified in the deadly pursuit. By Rikki King Herald Writer

GOLD BAR — Detectives have finished their investigation into a high-speed pursuit that ended in a fatal crash on U.S. 2 last year. The case has been forwarded

to Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe, who will be asked to determine if a sheriff’s deputy and a sergeant’s actions that night were justified. The sheriff’s office also plans an internal review. Both deputies had slowed down and ceased actively

pursuing the fleeing driver before he crossed the center line and struck another vehicle, according to public records recently obtained by The Herald. A chain-reaction crash followed, involving both deputies’ squad cars. The fleeing driver, Eric John Breum, 55, of Skykomish, died in the crash. He had seven prior DUI convictions and had spent

time in prison as a repeat DUI offender. After the Oct. 21, 2013, crash, Breum’s blood-alcohol content was 0.27, more than three times the legal limit, according to the records. A blood test also showed he had recently used marijuana. See CRASH, back page, this section

Seahawks help stricken Marysville boy’s wish come true Herald Writer

Maybe Jay Tardif will grow up to play for the Seattle Seahawks someday. But if not, the 11-year-old Marysville boy at least had a chance to be part of his favorite NFL team for one very

special weekend. Tardif, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2007, got a VIP visit to the Seahawks’ Renton practice facility Friday, an event arranged by a regional chapter of the MakeA-Wish Foundation of America. He tossed a football with Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, met

Jay Tardif, 11, of Marysville, meets Seahawks players Steven Hauschka (right) and Clint Gresham at practice Friday in Renton. Tardif, who is in remission from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, attended the practice and Sunday’s game through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Carly Bodmer wanted to tell the larger-than-life tale of the Barefoot Bandit. She surprised herself and wound up telling a moregrounded story of Colton Harris-Moore, the boy who plastered his bedroom wall with pictures of airplanes, stole more than a million dollars in cash and valuables, and taught himself to fly. Bodmer didn’t know much about Harris-Moore four years ago, just that the Washington teen had captured international attention with his 27-month crime spree. The youth committed a string of residential and commercial burglaries, cruised from state to state in stolen cars and broke into hangars to steal and fly airplanes, several of which he crash-landed. He committed some of the crimes barefoot, earning his famous nickname. Authorities caught him in the Bahamas in 2010. Bodmer’s research took her from the tropical island where the story ended to Camano Island where it began. As she traced the crimes across nine states and three countries, she spoke with family members, friends, victims and investigators. “You don’t come across something like this every day,” Bodmer said. “I saw somebody that I kind of identified with. Or maybe related to, is a better way to say it. I think a lot of people relate to that childhood rebellion.” Bodmer’s 70-minute film, “The Barefoot Bandit Documentary,” is an independent effort that took
