A man is under arrest after the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says he killed his girlfriend on Fox Island and pretended it was suicide.
Deputies say the 29-year-old man called 911 and claimed that his girlfriend had killed herself.
The call happened around 5:30 Sunday morning.
When deputies arrived at the home on Fox Drive near 8th Avenue, they found a 27-year-old woman who was dead.
However, after a lengthy investigation, detectives say the forensic evidence they found didn’t line up with the man’s story.
He’s now being held in the Pierce County Jail for investigation of murder.
