A missing person investigation in Washington state has escalated into a homicide probe after human remains were discovered on military property, leading to the arrest of two people, including an active-duty service member.
The investigation began on June 12, when the Tacoma Police Department received a missing person report for local resident Caelick Bradley, 28, who was last seen June 8, according to Washington State Patrol.
Tacoma detectives soon discovered an unauthorized person was actively using Bradley’s credit card, which led them to a suspect identified as Humberto Rodriguez Hernandez.
During police questioning, Hernandez provided details about a murder that took place on Addision Street SW in the neighboring city of Lakewood, Lakewood Police Department (LPD) officials told Fox News Digital.

He subsequently led detectives to human remains in a publicly accessible training area on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) property near Spanaway, Washington.
Authorities said Hernandez also implicated a second suspect, Aydee Casado-Dominguez, who was later detained outside her home.
