Unsolved Death Investigation - 2012

Victim Denny Thornburg

Pierce County Sheriff’s detectives need your help to determine the how victim Denny Thornburg died and to identify any suspects that may have been involved in his death.

On the morning of Monday July 16th, 2012, witnesses found a burned out van parked on a remote roadway in the 29700 block of Electron Reservoir Rd. E. in the Orting area.

Inside the van investigators found the body of victim Denny Thornburg, a 52 year-old man from the City of Tacoma.  Thornburg’s vehicle, a tan Ford Econline Van, was completely destroyed by the fire.  Investigators believe the fire occurred several hours before the van was discovered.

Denny Thornburg’s family last heard from him on July 12th, 2012.  Detectives fear Thornburg’s death may have been a result of foul play and are looking for any information regarding Thornburg’s whereabouts in the days prior to his body being found.
