The Seattle Times suggested murder suspect Chadd Michael Boysen could be returned to the state by the end of the week.

Fairwood double-murder suspect Chadd Michael Boysen was released from a Portland Hospital and reports suggest that he may be returned to the state by the end of the week.

The King County Sheriff's Office said Monday that Boysen, the prime suspect in the murders of his grandparents Robert and Norma Taylor in Fairwood on March 9, was released from a Portland, OR hospital in fair condition on Friday, March 15 and was immediately booked into the Multnomah County Jail for violating the terms of his parole.

Law enforcement officials say he waived his right to fight an extradition order on Monday, and Seattle Times reporter Jennifer Sullivan tweeted that Washington State Department of Correction officials expected Boysen would be returned to the state by the end of the week.
