TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - A geologist working in a ravine east of Tacoma has discovered a man’s partially decomposed body.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said detectives have considered whether the body found Friday might be that of a 59-year-old man who disappeared in October. Troyer says that’s a strong possibility. A woman has been charged in that death.

The medical examiner’s office will identify the body.



The News Tribune reports (https://is.gd/VmdDkB) a search and rescue crew helped bring the body bag out of the ravine.
