charging documents, police said Charlton told investigators he was homeless, had a drinking problem and was "not a normal person." He said he and Lyne had been dating about a month after they had met on a dating site. He said she had picked him up in Seattle on Friday afternoon after he got of work as a day laborer and they went to a Seattle Mariners game Friday night.
According to police reports in the charging documents, Charlton said that after the Mariners game, he and Lyne went to a bar in Seattle where his sister works and then went to Lyne's house in Renton, but could not remember much of the evening because he was intoxicated. Lyne was not seen again. He said he "thinks" he and Lyne had sex but she was "acting weird" and he thinks she drove him back to Seattle, where he fell asleep on a sidewalk. He said he spent Saturday night and Sunday night at an ex-girlfriend's home in Lake Stevens.
Police said the ex-girlfriend in Lake Stevens told them that Charlton stayed at a shelter in Seattle, but spent about two nights a week at her place. She said he is a "mean drunk," but that he never assaulted her. She said he was supposed to come to her house on Saturday morning to help her with yard work, but texted her that "something had come up." She said he eventually showed up at a bus station in Lake Stevens at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
She said she noticed he had swollen, injured lip and he told her that he had been robbed in Seattle and the robbers took his money. But he still had his wallet, she said.
