Seattle Mother’s Head Found After Going On A Date With A Man She Met Online

The SeattleTimes is reporting a story that might keep some of you online daters safe. Be careful who you’re dealing with out here. S#!t is real…

Seattle police arrested a 37-year-old man Monday after three body parts found Saturday in a homeowner’s recycling bin in the Central District were tentatively identified as those of a Renton mother of three reported missing after going on a date.

Police said at a news conference late Monday afternoon that they had taken John Robert Charlton into custody in the slaying of Ingrid Lyne, 40, a nurse at Swedish Medical Center.

Police were able to identify Lyne because one of the body parts found in Seattle was her head, according to a law-enforcement source familiar with the investigation.

Yep. Her head.

Homicide detectives learned Saturday that Lyne had been reported missing to Renton police and obtained a photograph they used to tentatively identify her.

Lyne’s friends took to social media over the weekend with concerns about her welfare. They reported that the single mother went on a date in which she planned to attend Friday’s Seattle Mariners game with someone she had met online.

Some of the social-media posts identified Charlton as Lyne’s date. His name and photograph were posted on Facebook, before the announcement of his arrest, by people who identified him as Lyne’s date.

Of course, this is America where you’re supposed to be “innocent until proven guilty”, but it’s not looking very good for John Robert Charlton. The online killer storyline screams “guilty as hell”.
