EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Prosecutors say a man charged with murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend dismembered her body and asked a friend to drive him around Snohomish County to dispose of the remains.
Prosecutors say the friend eventually contacted investigators and led them to spots were body parts were recovered.
Eric Christensen of Gold Bar was charged Friday in Snohomish County Superior Court with first-degree murder in the slaying of 35-year-old Sherry Harlan.
Prosecutors say Harlan was killed sometime between Jan. 2 and 3 after Christensen found a text message from another man on her cellphone.
