Identity of Skeletal Remains Not Confirmed - Released 02/23/10 @ 0830 Hours
Positive identification of the skeletal remains found in Lewis County last week has not been made at this time. The Sheriff’s Office is currently working with the Lewis County Coroner’s office to identify the human remains utilizing a forensic anthropologist.
Detectives located physical evidence at the scene leading them to believe they may know the identity of the deceased; however, further investigation is needed to confirm the identity.
The remains belong to an adult male. There does not appear to be foul play at this time.
Further release(s) will be forthcoming once the body is identified.
CHEHALIS – The skeletal remains found in a Toledo-area field in February 2010 have been positively identified as Travis Seeber, 35, of Toledo, the Lewis County Coroner announced this morning.
If I can't post it I'll just give a quick summary:
The family thinks that foul play was involved.
I searched for his name and one of the things that came up was a Topix page. I know it's not the most trustworthy forum, so I took a look just to see what it said. It's usually just a place to spread gossip and the like, so I wasn't expecting anything "good."
But there is a post by someone claiming to be Seeber's cousin on 3/2/2010, which was shortly after the remains were found, ID'ing the remains as Seeber's and that he died as a result of a love triangle.
I found it strange that someone "knew" who this was YEARS before the authorities did and suspected foul play. Now the police have identified his remains and claim no foul play was involved.
Again, Topix is a "free-for-all" forum that anybody can (pretty much anonymously) get on and say anything. But no matter how much a bit of "local gossip" this may be, it is way too big of a coincidence to NOT be looked into.
One of those witnesses, whose wife was good friends with Seebers girlfriend, told police that he believed Seeber had committed suicide to avoid returning to prison.
According to one officers report, ...Travis had told him in the past that he would never go back to prison. The witnesss belief was that Travis screwed up and thats the reason why he killed himself.
