Body found in SUV of slain Wash. woman's husband

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A body has been found in a Jeep belonging to a missing Washington man, whose wife was slain during a crime spree that left one other person dead and ended with the arrest of two armed fugitives, Oregon authorities say.

The vehicle is owned by David Jones Pedersen — known as "Red" to his friends and family. He's been missing since last month, when his wife, Leslie Pedersen, was found stabbed to death in their Everett, Wash., home.

Authorities have not identified the deceased white male found in the Jeep, but they said that Red Pedersen's relatives have been notified.

An autopsy is tentatively scheduled for Monday to confirm whether the body is that of Red Pedersen and how the man died, authorities said Saturday.   Read Here
