Body of Mail-Order Bride Is Identified

A body found in a shallow grave near the Tulalip Indian Reservation in northwest Washington was identified as a Russian mail-order bride who hadn’t been seen since September. The woman’s American husband of two years was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder. Anastasia Soloveva King, 20, was 39-year-old Indle King Jr.’s second mail-order bride, the Herald of Everett reported Saturday. Police were led to the body by an anonymous phone tip. Friends and family reported her missing when she didn’t return after a three-week visit to her parents in Kyrgyzstan. King, who lives in Mountlake Terrace, told police he and his wife had argued in Moscow and that she told him she planned to stay in Russia. But investigators say both returned home on the same flight and passed through U.S. Customs one minute apart. King told police he didn’t know his wife was on the flight.
