Police searching the grounds of a Tacoma home where a 16-year-old boy says he buried his father confirm they have found a body.
The News Tribune reported that police spokeswoman Loretta Cool says the death was “not natural” and is being investigated as a homicide. She declined to say whether the body was buried or exactly where outside the home it was found Tuesday afternoon.
The boy called police Tuesday and said he killed his father. KOMO-TV says the youth was taken away in a patrol car after the first officers reached the scene.
Cool did not confirm the gender of the victim. She says the Pierce County medical examiner will identify the person.
The father had been reported missing Saturday by his wife.
