Last month we told you the story of Brent Bayliffe, the bi-polar man who was shot and killed by an off-duty Kitsap County State Trooper. At the time, little was known about Bayliffe, 30, and even less about how or why he ended up dead in a stranger’s driveway. But now, Bayliffe’s family says that, thanks in part to a recently released autopsy report, they know not only why he made that fateful turn that night, but also what killed him. And they’re not happy about it.Bayliffe’s aunt contacted The Daily Weekly this afternoon with copies of her nephew’s autopsy report. It shows that he was killed by a gunshot wound to the back, the second of two shots landed by Cpl. Jason Blankers.It was Blankers’ Olalla driveway that Bayliffe pulled into near midnight on Saturday, September 11. Blankers, a 36-year-old emergency driving instructor, told investigators that he wasn’t expecting company, so the trooper grabbed his gun, told his wife to call 911 and went outside.Blankers told police that after he identified himself as an officer Bayliffe hit him over the head with a steel rod. When Blankers tried to order Bayliffe to drop the weapon, he says he was charged instead. That’s when he pulled the trigger.Nowhere in the initial police reports did it say how many times Blankers shot Bayliffe. But now we know there were two hits. And Bayliffe’s grandmother, Marjorie Eley, says that’s two too many.”He was a clean-cut kid,” she says. “He was a bi-polar but that’s no reason to shoot him.”Eley says her grandson was a sweet kid who had benign hobbies like collecting Disney memorabilia. (Editor’s note: Grandma may be right, but last year Bayliffe was convicted of ramming a police car during a high-speed chase.) Brent Bayliffe’s family is upset because an autopsy report says he died of a bullet wound to his back.She says that, in the face of a flashlight and a man with a gun, Bayliffe probably panicked. And that, contrary to the way some people described him after his death, he wasn’t a “crackhead,” and that a toxicology report found only a small amount of marijuana in his body.Eley also says that her grandson’s death was the result of a simple misunderstanding.Five hours before he was killed, Eley says Bayliffe called her to say he was going to take a camping trip with Max, his seven-year-old border collie.Bayliffe loaded up his Saturn coupe with a tent, blankets and a cooler full of steaks and chicken for him and his dog. Then she says he went to see an old friend to borrow a camping stove.Eley says that old friend lives at the end of a long driveway on Nelson Road, the same rural drive where Blankers lives. She speculates that Bayliffe turned into Blankers’ driveway by accident, then couldn’t get out when his car, which had been giving him trouble, wouldn’t start. (Eley says the Saturn was dead when her family picked it up at the impound lot. It ended up needing a new battery.)What happened next is only known by Blankers, Bayliffe and Max. But Eley says that she’s positive that, whatever took place, it didn’t have to end with her grandson dead.”I’m not saying my grandson didn’t hit him,” she says. “But If [Blankers] would have just called 911 and stepped back into the house no one would have gotten hurt.”A spokesman for the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office says that Blankers is an 11-year veteran who has never used deadly force before. He says they’re awaiting Bayliffe’s autopsy report before sending the file to the prosecutor’s office, but he also cautioned that the report Bayliffe’s family has been given doesn’t list whether or not Bayliffe’s wound was an entry or exit. We’ll keep you posted.
