Murder in SODO: A Shocking Stabbing Case Unfolds

Seattle’s SODO neighborhood isn’t known for its Sunday picnics and happy-go-lucky vibes, but a recent incident took the tension to a whole new level. Jordan Baleigh Weichert, a 35-year-old woman from Oak Harbor, has been charged with second-degree murder after a stabbing left a 55-year-old man dead in a parked van. The police got the call on July 14, and despite the best efforts to save the victim, he sadly passed away. It’s a heavy reminder of the dark turns life can take—and not just for Netflix plots.

But here’s the kicker: Weichert’s got a history, and not in the “My mom always said to learn from my mistakes” kind of way. With three prior convictions for vehicular homicide and a couple of vehicular assault charges under her belt, it’s clear she’s no stranger to trouble. It does make you wonder, how does someone keep getting second chances before they face serious consequences? Was this just the latest, dangerous chapter in her story?

Fast-forward to July 29, when Weichert was taken into custody after her alleged attack—a pretty abrupt ending to what was likely a more chaotic day. Her next court date is coming up on August 14, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for the courtroom drama. Hopefully, justice will be served, and maybe a bit of sense will filter through, but until then, it’s another case of reality being stranger than fiction. What will become of her next? Stay tuned, but maybe keep the popcorn handy—this one’s bound to be a ride!
