Sanitation workers found human remains in Seattle on Friday, and authorities say they likely belong to a mother who was killed and dismembered last week, NBC News reported.
Investigators believe Ingrid Maree Lyne, 40, was killed in her home in the Seattle suburb of Renton by John Robert Charlton, a Seattle man with an extensive criminal record whom she met on an online dating site.
Charlton is accused of murdering and dismembering Lyne and then driving her body parts to downtown Seattle, where various remains, including a head and a foot, were discovered in a recycling bin April 9.
The body parts have not been positively identified by authorities as those of Lyne, a nurse with three daughters. But police say they don't have any reason to believe they are of someone else.
