In a nerve-wracking incident caught on camera, teenagers in Seattle discover a significant lead in a murder case by finding human remains in a suitcase washed up on the shore of the sea. According to TikTok user @ughhenry, the group of friends were using another mobile application Randonautica to explore random coordinates nearby and ended up in front of the black suitcase on the West Seattle beach. The teenagers’ entire encounter with the bag was recorded on a camera where the girl can be seen opening it to reveal a black plastic inside it.
The internet user has also noted that there was an “overwhelming” odour coming out of the isolated suitcase when they decided to inform about the situation to the law enforcement officers. It was then identified by police that the black suitcase has two bodies and according to the statement released by detectives investigating the human remains in the area, the bag had mortals of a 27-year-old male and a 36-year-old female. However, the police officers also believe that the case identified by the TikTok users is not connected to any other cases in the Puget Sound area.
