PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Daniel Bruynell, who admitted killing Tiffany Jenks in 2013, will be sentenced to prison Wednesday afternoon.
Bruynell shot the 35-year-old woman once in the forehead at Blue Lake Regional Park on Oct. 8, 2013. Two other people, Joshua Robinett and Michelle Worden-Brosey, helped get rid of the gun and with Bruynell’s flight from Oregon after the killing.
He was eventually arrested in California.
Robinett and Worden-Brosey, admitted to hindering prosecution and both agreed to testify against Bruynell if the case went to trial.
Bruynell admitted his guilt on Dec. 23, 2015
Tiffany Jenks
Tiffany Jenks received a Bachelor’s of Science in physics and geology and a Master’s in economics. She had worked as a physical scientist at the Bonneville Power Administration until 2012.
Her mother, Kate Johnson, told KOIN 6 News she called her job “running the river.”
“I have so many awards she won, but I don’t have her,” Tiffany’s mother said.
When Tiffany’s father died in 2010, she struggled with substance abuse.
“It was that substance abuse that likely led her to meet Ms. Worden-Brosey and the people who Ms. Worden-Brosey travelled with,” senior deputy district attorney Chris Ramras said in 2014.
KOIN 6 News will have more information later in the day.
