I was reading comments online. I'm going to venture a guess and assume someone else had responsibility for their child. No one reported them missing based on what I'm seeing online. JMOoh dear, they had a child too according to his FB....
this info was listed in a link above from west seattle blog.There is a comment where Austen talks about addiction issues and a comment on Jessica's page from a few years ago where someone says "where are you????" I fear these two operated on the margins of society or may have even been homeless in the Seattle area. My impression was that he has a child with another person but I could be wrong about that.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen the condition of anything that’s come out of the Green River but I do not imagine that a suitcase so clean and pristine looking as that one would have come out of that river after traveling any significant distance. I would be very surprised if it entered any body of water outside the local Sound area in which it was found.Also one of them is from Kent and the Green river runs through Kent. I think the suitcases were washed out to sea and the tides carried them to Alki. That is a very busy area and not a logical dump site. Of course, murderers are not always logical.

I don't think that's herIn an article published in 2016 Jessica Lewis said her family gathered at the Red Lion Inn & Suites in Federal Way to celebrate her cousin's 13th birthday. He received some electronics and several pieces of luggage from family members. He put the gifts in their hotel room, then joined his family in the lobby for some snacks. When they returned to the room an hour later, all the gifts were gone.
There's a 00:34 second video where Jessica says, "You got electronics. Congratulations, but you ruined a kid's birthday".
She’s obviously older than the FB image posted on this thread and her hair is blonde, but it seems a huge coincidence to have 2 people with that name being mentioned in the same breath as Federal Way.

From the news reports shared in here, it sounds like the remains were fresh enough to estimate PMI to three days. But I wonder if they have even more information now to confirm that? Drug deal gone awry as some people speculated in comments on one article seems a little too commonplace to end up cut up in suitcases. Weird all around.Remains of 2 people found in bags in West Seattle identified, police say
Austin Wenner, 27, and Jessica Lewis, 35, were both shot to death.

I’m not sold on the drug connection either. Drug crimes generally are cleaner so to speak. A few bullets and it’s over. This strikes me as a love triangle, or some similar type motive. It takes someone especially angry to mutilate a body.From the news reports shared in here, it sounds like the remains were fresh enough to estimate PMI to three days.

Exactly. Nobody goes through that trouble over something as transient as drug deals. Unless you are deeply connected to them somehow and a larger narrative. I would agree about anger fueling that kind of action, though I don't know who in the world has that kind of time and energy over a love triangle.I’m not sold on the drug connection either.

I think you're right, that is probably what happened. What are the chances that two suitcases would end up at the same spot?I'm with the love triangle theory for sure. And the theory that the bag, suitcase were tossed into the water close by at night with the intention of them sinking. Super easy to do with a little fishing boat at night with noone noticing/caring - I live right up the hill. The boat launch is right there or they couldve boated up from the connecting Duwamish River. Suitcase bag were found close together; deposited too far from the discovery sight they would not have been found together. I haven't crossed off the idea that they were actually thrown in from shore by a very not so bright individual.

What is strange are the thrash bags and neat packaging. As if someone was environmentally concerned.
