Michelle Knotek was sentenced to 22 years in prison, which she is
serving at the Washington Corrections
Center for Women in Gig Harbor.
Kathy Loreno was a hairdresser working in South
Bend, Washington, when she met Michelle Knotek,
and the two became friends.
Shane Watson, born in 1975 in Tacoma, was
Michelle Knotek's nephew. Watson moved in with
the Knoteks around
1993. Shortly after Loreno's disappearance in 1994, Watson
seemingly
vanished too. The Knoteks initially claimed that Watson
had run away to Alaska to work on a
fishing vessel. David Knotek
later claimed that he had shot Watson with a .22 caliber rifle.
