Police discovered bloody rags along the lakefront and human remains in a freezer inside a boarding house in Arcadia Terrace as they searched for the building’s owner Monday evening, turning a missing person case into a homicide investigation.
The owner — a 55-year-old woman who hasn’t formally been identified — is believed to be the victim, Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan told reporters Tuesday. She was found around 7 p.m. Monday in the 5900 block of North Washtenaw Avenue, police said.
Deenihan said a suspect who lived in the boarding house — and frightened other residents — was taken into custody after pulling a knife on a tow truck driver he allegedly hired to transport a “large plastic bag” to Foster Beach, where bloody rags were found inside a garbage can. A resident of the boarding house had reported the owner missing Monday, Deenihan said. She hadn’t been seen for roughly a day, though detectives confirmed she’d been seen “walking around the neighborhood on Sunday.”
