"Paul lived for his wife and his daughter... that was his whole life. This man has ruined so many lives," Kathy said over the phone.

Sgt. Steve Addison of the Vancouver Police Department said the police are looking for more witnesses and video to help them determine a motive in the killing.

"There's a significant amount of evidence to tell us what happened. What we are focusing on now is why did this happen. What are the events that transpired in the moments leading up to this very serious crime ... that's something that may take some time for us to fully understand," he added.
