In the early morning hours of March 18, 2019, 47-year-old Travis Seiber was murdered in his Ryderwood home. Seiber died from a single gunshot wound to the head. An investigation conducted by the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office led to the arrests of 28-year-old Anthony Depuisaye-Greene and his 45-year-old girlfriend at the time, Elizabeth Rogan, both of Centralia. Rogan admitted her involvement in the murder and told detectives she and Depuisaye-Greene went to Seiber’s house to rob him. Forensic ballistic analysis revealed that a firearm recovered from Depuisaye-Greene and Rogan’s home was the same firearm that was used to murder Seiber.
On December 4th, 2020, Anthony Depuisaye-Greene pled guilty to First Degree Murder. He also pled guilty to 16 other charges across Cowlitz and Lewis Counties, including a January 18th, 2019 burglary of Seiber’s home. Depuisaye-Greene is scheduled to be sentenced on December 14th, 2020.
