Another body found in a suitcase

Jul 27, 2015, 10:30 AM | Updated: 12:17 pm

Detectives are investigating a report of a body found in a suitcase in SeaTac on Monday morning. It’s the second body found in luggage in the past two months.

The King County Sheriff’s Office says a maintenance worker found what they believe to be a body at an apartment complex located at S. 204 St and 30 Ave. S.

The body is decomposed, so detectives are not able to identify the person as male or female.

In May, a man found a woman’s body in a suitcase on Frager Road near the Veterans Drive Bridge in Kent. A cause of death still has not been released.

The woman is possibly Caucasian and was between the ages of 50-60 years old, according to investigators. She had a small build at 5’4″, and around 106 pounds. Her shoulder-length hair had gray streaks.

Investigators don’t believe there’s a connection between the body found in SeaTac and the one found in Kent.
