. A tip received midday Monday by the Shelton
Police Department regarding a possible homicide
led to the remains of what is believed to be a pre-
viousy reported missing adult.
Shelton Police and Mason County Sheriffs Of-
fice discovered the remains in a rural area of Ma-
son County, outside the city limits.
Law enforcement authorities suspect the vic-
tim was killed in Shelton, according to a release
from the Sheriff’s Office.
It doesn’t appear to be a random act because
the Victim and suspect knew each other, authori-
ties say.
Shelton Police and Mason County' Sheriffs
deputies, including the county’s SWAT team,
arrested the suspects around 7 p.m. Monday at.
a residence near the 500 block of North Fifth
Street in Shelton.
The area was cordoned off for several hours
Monday night as law enforcement searched the
home. . _
The investigation is ongoing and no further
information was available at the Shelton-Mason
County Journal’s press time. An update will be
provided in next week’s edition of the Journal.
