ALBANY, Ore. (AP) - The estranged husband of a missing Albany woman is now a person of interest in a police investigation, authorities sad.
Tiffany Lazon, 37, was reported missing Jan. 8 by her daughter.
Albany police said Thursday that Craig Lazon is the last person known to have had contact with her in late December. Police said he told them Jan. 9 that he didn’t know where Tiffany was and thought she moved to Washington.
But her daughter, Felicity Halberg, told KOIN 6 News her mother “left her car, her money, her cat, her clothes. She left everything. How would she get to Washington without anything?”
Late Tuesday, Craig Lazon was arrested on charges of animal neglect and abandonment connected with Tiffany’s cat, which police say was found in a storage locker without food or water.
Police on Wednesday executed a search warrant at Tiffany Lazon’s house with help from the Oregon State Police Crime Lab.
Albany police on Thursday said Craig Lazon is a person of interest in the case, which is now under investigation as both a missing person and a death investigation.
Tiffany Lazon is described as 5-foot-5 and 115 pounds, with blonde hair and glasses. Anyone with information about her location is asked to call police in Albany, Oregon.
