Haynes fled in Dalton’s car as witnesses attempted live-saving CPR.
Dalton was remembered as a lovely neighbor following her death.
“She is somebody that people really loved, and she’s been a neighborhood fixture in the Madison Park neighborhood for a long time,” Dalton’s friend Susan Lindsay told KOMO. “She (is) going to be so missed.”
“I hope she’s at peace. We all love her, everybody loves her, and I know she’s looking down,” Melanie Roberts, Dalton’s granddaughter, told the outlet. “She was feisty. It doesn’t surprise me in the least that she would try to make sure her client’s dogs were safe. She wouldn’t have thought two seconds about herself.”
Seattle police arrested Haynes for investigation of homicide and animal cruelty.
Police are unsure how Haynes escaped from the Brighton Playfield, where they found Dalton’s car abandoned nearby with a cracked windshield and damage to the rear.
Detectives later connected Haynes to both crime scenes using a fingerprint discovered on Dalton’s phone.
A SWAT team arrested the suspected killer near his residence in Capitol Hill.
Following the arrest, police recovered a bloody knife and the keys from the stolen vehicle.
Homicide detectives are expected to request charges for murder in the first degree under the felony murder rule, and animal cruelty in the first degree.
He was convicted of vehicular homicide and hit and run in 1993, plead guilty to a controlled substance on school ground charge in 1995 and convicted of 1st Degree Robbery in 1999, according to court records viewed by The Post.
