When heading north on Highway 101, the first house you come to in Humptulips is the Aldrich's place.The manicured yard is a trademark of the family that's been here for decades.

Neighbors are just sick about what happened to Ralph and June Aldrich.
Prosecutors say 31-year-old John Chase was walking down the highway when he saw Ralph Aldrich, 88, in his back yard. Detectives say Chase shot and killed Aldrich with a crossbow and then went inside the home and repeatedly hit 83-year-old June Aldrich with a hatchet.
