Three body parts including a foot was found in a homeowner's recycling bin likely belong to a woman who was reported missing Saturday morning, Seattle police said Monday.
Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said at an evening news conference that an arrest had been made in the case and detectives believe the human remains are that of Ingrid Lyne, a 40-year-old mother of three who works as a nurse in Seattle.
"All evidence leads in the direction of that missing woman," O'Toole said.
Friends of Lyne said they last saw her Friday afternoon and that she had planned to go on a date to a Mariners baseball game Friday night with someone she met online.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office will make the final determination of identity.
Police arrested John Robert Charlton, 37, on Monday morning in Snohomish County, north of Seattle. He's been booked into jail on investigation of homicide. It wasn't immediately clear if Charlton had an attorney.
Police don't believe there are any other suspects, O'Toole said.
