AUBURN, Wash. - Auburn Police are investigating a homicide.

A construction worker found the body of a man outside a home just after 11 a.m. Saturday.


    


Police say the family who lives there is out of state and they don't believe the body has any connection to the property owners.


    


Investigators do not know the identity of the man but say his body may have been there for more than a day.


“We're looking for trace evidence and anything else that doesn't belong in the area,” said Cmdr. Mike Hirman.



Officers were making plaster molds of tire tracks outside the home.


   


They believe the body may have been dropped off at that location.

I can see this from my back yard. The body was found at the NW corner of 112th and 304th on Lea Hill. The house appeared abandoned but not vandalized. Overgrown grass and not somewhere you'd feel safe hanging out but I never would have suspected something like this. Very scary. I hope the police are able to get to the bottom of this quickly and that king5 continues to follow this story closely.

This is just one more murder case that the Auburn Police cannot solve. There are so many just lying around unsolved that it would be ridiculous if it were not so frightening.

Could this homicide be connected to the Federal Way drug deal shooting by cop? Maybe this guy was killed because he is tied to that and his boss does not want to be found out!
