Apparently this was found by some teens who were making videos on TikTok. They joked that there might be money inside. Opened it, and called the police.

Well, one thing is clear, a man and a woman did not stuff their own remains into suitcases. I was trying to think if I could think of any recent missing couples cases, if indeed it is even a couple. It will be interesting to know the facts. They identified them rapidly enough that they must have been listed as missing I would think.

“Somebody knows something.” Family of murdered couple found in suitcase asking for answers, justice

“Somebody knows something.” Family of murdered couple found in suitcase asking for answers, justice

Gina Jaschke says her family can hardly bear the thought of what happened to her loving niece, 35-year-old Jessica Lewis, who was a mother of four, and her longtime 27-year-old boyfriend, Austin Wenner, whom everyone knew as Cash.

The remains of both Lewis and Wenner were found when teens discovered a packed suitcase washed up on the rocky shores of Alki Beach on June 19, and called 911. The teens were in the process of creating a video for TikTok, which has been viewed around the world.

The King County Medical Examiner determined that both Lewis and Wenner had been shot days before their remains were found.


FBI profilers told KIRO-7 whoever put the remains in bags could have been attempting to make a statement.

"If they're trying to send a message, what are they saying? That they're animals? That's the only message that you've gotten out to anybody!"

"What I can do is keep this alive in everybody's mind," she said. "Somebody knows something. Somebody saw something, they might be scared to say anything. You know what? The smart one of the bunch is going to go and turn themselves in. Because no jury is going to have any sympathy for any of them."

Jaschke said the families--and four children-- left behind deserve answers and justice.

“I want somebody to pay for what they’ve done,” she said, “And if it brings any kind of solace to my family, I’ll do it. Because they’re just devastated.”

Seattle Police Arrest Man After Human Remains Found On Alki Beach

According to probable cause documents filed Thursday, detectives learned through interviews with friends and family members that the pair had been last seen at a home on Ambaum Boulevard South in Burien. Police learned the house belonged to Michael Dudley.

Officers served a search warrant at the home on Wednesday and took Dudley into custody for questioning.

According to court filings, Dudley told police the victims were "staying with him during the COVID quarantine period," and had been unable to pay their $1,500 monthly rent. Police said he admitted to having arguments with them and having a handgun but denied knowing how the victims died.

At the house, crime scene detectives said they found bullet holes, spent rounds and blood inside the room where the were staying.

Police interviewed a neighbor who said they called 911 on June 9 after hearing gunfire inside the house and hearing a man yell "please don't do this, just let me leave." Prosecutors said Burien police officers went to the home that night but did not get a response when they knocked on the door.

A witness told investigators she went to the house the same night and saw the outline of a person under a pile of clothes with an injured arm protruding. According to the court filing, the woman told detectives Dudley then asked her to leave his house so he could "clean up his mess."

In an interview with detectives, Dudley denied knowing whose blood was found in the room and could not explain the bullets or bullet holes in the room. Police said it was also obvious the room had been recently painted and cleaned.

Following the interview, Dudley was booked into the King County Jail on suspicion of homicide. On Thursday, the judge set bail at $5 million, and a charging decision is expected Monday.
