Body found in suitcase at SeaTac apartment complex

King County Sheriff’s deputies don’t know if the body is male or female because of the level of decomposition.

A dead body was found in a suitcase at a SeaTac apartment complex in Washington state.

The body was found at South 204 Street and 30 Avenue South.

Detectives were called to the Abbey Ridge Apartments at 8:30 a.m. Monday after a maintenance worker discovered the body just before the garbage trucks arrived to empty the dumpsters, Seo said.

The location is near Madrona Elementary School and south of Angle Lake.

In mid-June law enforcement officials asked for the public’s help in solving the mystery behind a woman’s body found in a suitcase and left near a river outside of Seattle. Her shoulder-length hair had gray streaks.

The Caucasian woman, who has yet to be identified, was found wearing an adult diaper, a purple, short-sleeve shirt with flowers and wore full dentures which weren’t recovered, authorities said. Seo says detectives aren’t sure if the latest discovery is related to the one in May.

While she had no injuries and was properly nourished, she had cirrhosis of the liver from long-term or heavy alcohol consumption based on an autopsy.
