Seattle police Friday morning arrested a 38-year-old man after learning he was attempting to sell the same gold Ford Contour he used to flee the scene of a March 24 brutal attack on Ray Pieczynski at a Seattle bus stop.

The 61-year-old Pieczynski, who is developmentally disabled, is the brother of My Edmonds News photographer Julia Wiese, and we wrote about the incident in our earlier story here.

Police said that after following up on leads and a corroborating tip from the community, investigators located the vehicle for sale online. Detectives met with the man on Friday morning at 23rd Avenue and Yesler Street, where police took him into custody. He was scheduled to be booked into King County Jail Friday, police said.

Pieczynski was sitting at the Metro bus stop at Rainier Avenue South and South Fisher Place around 12:40 p.m. March 24 when the suspect approached him and struck him in the head with what witnesses describe as a baseball bat. According to witnesses, the attacker then fled in the gold Ford Contour sedan.

Julia Wiese said Friday that her brother “is doing remarkably well all things considered. He can read even small print in magazines. They have him practicing reading prescription bottles then, using colored beads as pills, sort them into a daily pill container to the corresponding time of day. They are hoping to do more rehabilitative therapy in the next couple weeks,” she said.

“He still suffers from headaches. An area around his brain is still swollen so it will be a while before he can have surgery to return the missing portion of his skull,” which was removed to relieve pressure on his brain. “That piece of skull is in a freezer at Harborview waiting for him,” Wiese said.
