BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The Bellingham Police Department (BPD) is bringing a murder case back into the spotlight 16 years after it went cold and is asking for the public’s help.

The BPD posted the 2009 unsolved murder case of Bryan L. Marriott on social media Monday morning, noting that this month marks 16 years since his death. Detectives are still looking for any information that may lead to an arrest in the case.
The backstory:
On Nov. 20, 2009, at around 11:11 p.m., 43-year-old Marriott was found shot to death next to his car on East Ivy at North Garden Street in Bellingham.
Witnesses reported hearing an argument just before the shooting and seeing a dark-colored passenger car leaving the area.
What they’re saying:
“For the past 16 years, this case has remained open with little to no new information,” wrote the BPD on social media. “Detectives investigating the case hope someone seeing this post or watching the video will remember some details which will aid in solving the crime. Or, after all these years, the person involved may feel more willing to come forward and help provide answers and closure for Mr. Marriott’s family.”
