Remember how we said the story of a body dump in South Seattle last week, kept getting stranger, despite being pretty bizarre to begin with? Well, with each detail that is released the strangeness continues. Today police announced a 27-year-old man from Shoreline, Gabriel Phipps, has been charged with second-degree murder in the case. According to newly released details, Phipps strangled his victim with a belt while driving before dumping the body. We've all heard and seen of a lot of strange and stupid multi-tasking by drivers, but this is definitely the first (and hopefully the only) time we'll hear this one.

It may not be The Sopranos, but the story of a body dump in broad daylight in South Seattle yesterday is becoming increasingly strange. Police arrested and booked a suspect this morning and the suspect is now under investigation for murder. The victim was a white man in his 60s who appeared to have medical or surgical instruments and tubes still attached to his body. Some reports say he also had a belt around his neck at the time of the body dump. Whichever detail is true, it adds an extra element of creepiness and shudders to the story.

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.
