Investigators say the suspect is her son, 31-year-old Michael Gese, who was reportedly having a mental health crisis.
Gail Gese’s death is once again highlighting the lack of mental health resources in Washington state. Her neighbors grappling with her murder say Gese had struggled to get her son help.
Court documents say Michael Gese stabbed his mother in her neck, using a “serrated steak knife.” It happened at her Tacoma home at 6:40 a.m. while she was on the phone with 911, reporting that her son “was having a mental health crisis.” Prosecutors also said, per reports, “the defendant suffers from undiagnosed schizophrenia, and drug-induced mental health issues.”
Following his arrest, Michael Gese told police he was having an issue with his mother, concerned he couldn’t live at her home any more. Documents detail, “he said he had to, ‘pop the robot’s head off,’ which he was trying to do.” “Look at what it had to come to. It’s sad. That lady had to lose her life for her son to get real help,” said Josh Morton with Cupcake Construction. He was working in the area and was there for the police response to the homicide.
