Police arrest 2 suspects after father of 2 found murdered, buried in shallow grave in Washington state
Police in Washington state have arrested two suspects in the murder of a father of two found dumped in a shallow grave near the Nisqually River.
The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office has been investigating the homicide of Robert Erwin, a transient in his early 40s, whose body was found buried in a shallow grave near the Nisqually River June 4.
“Today, with the assistance of Yelm Police, Tumwater Police, and the Thurston County Narcotics Task Force, TCSO detectives have arrested and booked a man and woman in their mid-30’s from the Yelm area for Rendering Criminal Assistance, Tampering with Physical Evidence and Unlawful Disposal of Human Remains,” Lt. Mike Brooks said in a press release.
Erwin reportedly struggled with mental health issues and addiction, Amanda Douglass, Erwin’s sister, told FOX 13 Seattle. Despite his struggles, Douglass said he was loved by his family, including his two sons.

Douglass told FOX 13 her brother’s case was initially treated as a missing person case and that the sheriff’s office did not have reason to believe it was a homicide case.

“It’s a tremendous thing to navigate. To be told that your loved one was brutally murdered and just dumped,” Douglass told FOX 13 after news of her brother’s murder broke. “My brother wasn’t just a homeless scumbag living on the streets.”

DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — Oregon State Police are asking for additional witnesses to come forward after a three-vehicle crash on Highway 20E in Deschutes County left two people seriously injured.
Troopers responded at 12:47 p.m. Friday, July 10, to the crash near milepost 41. A preliminary investigation found a westbound 2013 black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck pulling a single-axle utility trailer attempted to pass a black Dodge 4500 towing a trailer. Police said an eastbound Hyundai Elantra tried to avoid a collision with the Chevrolet, lost control in the gravel on the eastbound shoulder, veered into the westbound lane and collided with the trailer pulled by the Dodge 4500.
The driver and passenger of the Hyundai were flown by air medic to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The crash affected traffic for about five hours. The driver of the Chevrolet was cited for careless driving and unsafe passing.
OSP is asking anyone who may have seen the Chevrolet driving westbound on Highway 20 at the moment of, or prior to, the collision to contact the OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers should reference case number SP26-255130.
