Police Investigating Body Dump in South Seattle

If The Sopranos took place in Seattle, we always imagined the mob haunts would be in industrial south Seattle, with the Bada Bing on Airport Way South. So the report of a body being dumped out of a moving vehicle at Ninth Avenue South and South Dakota Street at 7:30 this morning sits well with our seedy visions.

According to witness reports, someone driving a dark-colored Kia Rio dumped the body in an intersection and continued driving. The witness attempted to follow the Kia, but lost them on Airport Way South.

Police say the body is an unidentified male of unknown age, who appeared to be dead at the time of the disposal. The area surrounding the body-dump has been blocked for continued investigation of the scene. The SPD is also looking for the vehicle involved: a 1995 Kia Rio with Washington License Plate 549 UXG. As always, the reality of crime is not nearly as glamorous as it's shown on television—a body dump out of a Kia Rio, not an Escalade in sight.
