The (Longview) Daily News reports a police investigation suggests the man whose body was found three years ago on property near Toledo may have committed suicide, but the cause could remain officially undetermined because a key piece of evidence – his head – was missing.
Travis Seeber was 35 years old when he went missing in 2008 while he was a suspect in an attempted sexual assault of a teenage babysitter south of Winlock. His truck, with his driver’s license on the seat, was found by law enforcement soon after abandoned off Cougar Lane.
The identity of the remains was only finally confirmed [1]this year by DNA. Seeber was described by the coroner as a resident of Toledo and by the sheriff’s office as living in Winlock.
News reporter Natalie St. John writes one of the interviewees told deputies he believed Seeber committed suicide to avoid going back to prison and others said he was an IV meth user who was “whacked” out the night of the incident with the 18-year-old girl.
