Man Arrested With Dead Womans Body!

Posted on: August 11, 2010

County sheriff’s deputies say a dead woman was found in the passenger seat of a pickup truck that was pulled over. Erik Kohnhorst told KOMO News Howell showed up on his Tenino home doorstep Sunday afternoon, agitated, covered in sweat and desperate.

“He was trying to get me to help him move something and I asked him if it was heavy and stuff and he said ‘yeah,’ ” Kohnhorst said. “His clothes were kind of messed up.”

Kohnhorst later surmised Howell was asking him to help move the body.

“That’s the only thing I can figure,” Kohnhorst said.

Hours later, investigators say a man spotted Howell along Highway 507 near the Yelm to Tenino trail, by himself, loading a body into his truck.

Police say Howell asked the man to help put the body in the passenger seat because the back of his truck was filled with a large, white refrigerator he used to store meat.

The man refused, drove into town and flagged down a deputy. The deputy spotted the truck a short time later and stopped the driver near Tenino Elementary School.

Chamberlain said the man admitted to the deputy he had a body in his pickup and said he found the body along the trail and was trying to save the family the cost of a funeral. My official comment to this story is WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
