A public memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Monday for a Rogers High School math teacher and her husband who were found dead Wednesday at their home in the foothills of Mount Spokane.
The memorial for Teresa Ann Kim, 46, and her husband, Richard Lynn Kim, 47, a respiratory specialist, will be held in the Cowles Memorial Auditorium on the campus of Whitworth College, 300 W. Hawthorne Road.
Pastors Bob Smith and Keith Hixon will officiate, according to an obituary in today’s editions of The Spokesman-Review.
“Richard and Teresa had an enormous impact on the Spokane community and will be missed by all,” the obituary says.
The couple’s son, 18-year-old Bryan Kim, is in the Spokane County Jail, charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
He is being held in lieu of $1 million bond.
On Saturday, sheriff’s detectives continued to search the family’s home at 18425 E. Eagle Ridge Lane, about two miles off Mount Spokane Road.
Autopsies revealed Richard Kim was stabbed, and Teresa Kim was strangled.
“Items of evidence have been taken,” and detectives plan on returning to the home today, said Cpl. Dave Thornburg, a spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.
He declined to say if a murder weapon was located, nor would he comment on reports that a knife had been found in the garbage at Mount Spokane High School.
Bryan Kim was questioned, then taken into custody at the high school Wednesday.
According to court documents, his girlfriend told investigators that Kim said he’d had an argument with his parents, who left on a walk and never returned.
The couple has an older daughter, Jessica Kim, who wasn’t home at the time of the killings, court documents say.
Kim, who takes medication for a bipolar disorder, recently had been told by his parents that he would have to move from their home, the court documents say.
Other court records show Kim was arrested or identified as the suspect in five earlier assaults, between August 2002 and July 2005, involving his parents.
The suspect didn’t admit the killings, the court documents say, but he talked “about playing shooting-type computer games.”
His personal page at the popular Internet site MySpace .com said he recently took a test to gauge his “homicidal insanity level.”
