#1 Mother Of Three Went On A Date With Man She Met Online

Ingrid Lyne, 40, Renton, WA resident, and mother of three set up a date with a man she met online. She was last seen at a Mariner's game in Seattle with the man she had met only one month earlier and had never seen in person. The nurse at Swedish Medical Center had posted to Facebook that she had a date with a guy she had met on a dating site.

#2 Her Ex-Husband Notified Police She Was Missing 2 Days Later

Police were notified by Lyne's ex-husband who had returned their three daughters home to their mother after they had spent the weekend with him. He gave the police a photograph of Lyne and explained that she had told him she was going to the game with a new boyfriend she had met online who was named John.

#3 Police Questioned The Man She Had Gone To The Mariner's Game With

Police questioned her date, 37-year-old John Robert Charlton, who said that he had not seen Lyne since he dropped her off on Friday night after the game. He also said he went to the baseball game with Lyne and returned to her home that night but was so intoxicated he couldn't recall what happened. However, the police noted that Charlton had abrasions on his hands and forehead, and had scratches on his lip and chest.

#4 Her SUV Was Found On A Downtown Seattle Street

Lyne's SUV was initially reported stolen as well as her phone, but her cellphone, wallet, and other personal items were found at her home in Renton. Later, police announced they found the SUV, a silver 2015 Toyota Highlander, in downtown Seattle Washington. They ran prints on the vehicle and found both those of Lyne's and Charlton's.

#5 Man Finds Something In His Recycling Bins That Horrified Neighbors

An unidentified man in Seattle went to put trash in his recycling bin and discovered something gruesome. It was a severed head. When police arrived, they searched through the bins on the streetside and found the head of a female, and identified it as that of missing Ingrid Lyne. Along with the head, they also discovered a hand and a foot. Neighbors became terrified as the news spread about the findings.

#6 A Second & Third Finding Of More Body Parts

Nearly a week after the initial discovery of remains, waste management workers found more body parts a couple of blocks away from the first-known dumping site in the Central District. Those were also believed to be connected to Lyne's death. But police were questioning why the parts were dispersed throughout the area, as a third finding of newer remains were located in a trash dump four miles from the initial two findings.

#7 Detectives Find Murder Weapon In Victims Bathroom

Upon searching further at Lynes home, investigators discovered a 15-inch pruning saw near the bathtub, an empty box of plastic garbage bags identical to the type containing the body parts, and collected swabs of suspected blood, according to court documents. Detectives believe her body was sliced at her own home on the night of her date with Charlton, bagged up and then driven to Seattle to be disposed of.

#8 He Killed Her Then Drove Her Body Parts To Seattle To Dispose Of

Police and prosecutors believe Charlton went with Lyne back to her Renton home after the baseball game, killed her at her residence and drove her remains back to Seattle in her vehicle. It's presumed Charlton then returned to the home and cleaned the area as best he could and then drove around Seattle until he parked the SUV and walked to a local park and slept.

#9 Charged With First Degree Murder

He was arrested that evening, a week after the grisly killing when prosecutors filed first-degree murder charges against him. He was originally being held with a $2 million bail but that has since been revoked after the third finding of Lyne's body parts had been discovered. He is also charged with grand theft auto.

Charlton has a criminal record. He had been convicted of various felony charges in 3 different states dating back to 1998. His mother had a restraining order on him from 2006, stating he had a taken the book "Hannibal" and threw it at her and told her to read it and beware.
