A Tik Tok account producing a series of “Seattle serial killer on the loose” videos has lucked into a viral hit with a clip about two bodies found in 2016 and 2021 in Capitol Hill’s Interlaken Park The information in the 16-second video is out of date and ignores key findings and facts reported years ago by CHS The video centers on two unsolved deaths in the park and claims to tie the cases together The King County Medical Examiner says McKendrick was killed about a week before her body was found on the afternoon of Sunday May 30th in a small stream below the park by a homeowner who called 911 about the sad discovery It is not clear where McKendrick was killed Police say the on-scene investigation yielded “no obvious information about the circumstance that led to the death” due to the condition of the body and the location in the area of the small The site is near E Interlaken Blvd that winds through the park — a popular route for walkers and bicyclists that is closed to motor vehicles The video spreading on Seattle social media this week claims a second woman’s body was found in mysterious circumstances in the park but leaves most of the details vague while including a photograph from CHS coverage of the story from eight years ago In 2016 CHS reported on the discovery of human remains in Interlaken by a father visiting the site in the leafy park’s greenbelt where the body of his homeless son had been found five days earlier The son, Jon LeBaron, 29, had struggled with drug addiction and homelessness for nearly eight years before he went missing Police told LeBaron his son had likely been dead for two months when he was found on August 30th by two people who said they were hiking through the woods when they noticed the 29-year-old’s shoe The body referred to in the video was found by LeBaron’s father as he searched for the site where Jon was found The father found what appeared to be a human skull and an old camp site overgrown with ivy according to the police report on the investigation and scrambled back up to the streets above Interlaken to call police Arriving officers found skeletal remains and cordoned off the area for a death investigation the skull and any skeletal remains were not “positioned” to mock police and the body was not female The medical examiner later determined that the remains found that late summer in Interlaken were those of an adult white male between the ages of 25 to 50 He was found near a living site along with “multiple pairs of shoes” that ranged in size from 9.5 to 13 The investigation also identified a defect in the bone above the man’s left temple “possibly an old surgical shunt.” Case #16-1753 remains part of the King County Medical Examiner’s roster of unidentified remains Many of those involve people living unhoused The case of Necia “Q” McKendrick-Mendez, meanwhile, is also going cold along with a handful of killings like hers in recent years with shared factors: Homeless.

Skiing wasn’t part of my trip (I did that in Gstaad a few days earlier) but experiencing the beauty and charm of the Alps in winter most definitely was the lights of the town reflecting on the lake What a way to experience the wintery Alpine night We disembarked halfway up, above the snowline, but below the point where it gets seriously cold. We were going snowshoeing with Outdoor Switzerland - and I imagined waddling awkwardly along with tennis rackets stuck to my feet snowshoes have evolved since I saw them in Ladybird books as a kid and easy to use - as long as you follow the two golden rules; don’t walk too close to the person in front (you’ll stand on their shoes) I forgot rule number two for a moment and toppled back into deep snow You’ve no reverse gear on snowshoes - there’s literally no going back I really enjoyed advancing up the mountainside between snow-laded pine trees You move much slower than you would on skis so you notice more Animal tracks disappearing into the forest The smooth clean lines of snowdrifts sculpted by wind It was good exercise and a whole lot easier than trying to walk through deep snow in normal hiking boots that I was thinking of buying some for the few weeks each year when Kinder Scout is covered in snow I described it to her as a big hill rather than a mountain She laughed and said they’re all hills in England to us On the way back down we crossed a frozen lake where men were fishing through holes in the ice Only my new generation snowshoes said otherwise The next morning we took to the lake again, not on skates but in kayaks, with Phoebe from High Tide Kayaking School Lake Brienz is the higher of the two Interlaken lakes and is a different colour to the lower Lake Thun The difference in shade is because it collects silt that flows down from the mountains On the day we went it was a deep jade against the low whispy white clouds and russet shores.  Kayaking along its banks was a very serene way to get immersed in nature and the sense of space and calm will stay with me it was less about adrenalin and speed and more about slowing down and noticing more Interlaken and its wild and beautiful landscapes feel like they’re in another world For more information on Interlaken, visit interlaken.ch Follow Sarah on Instagram @sarah.tierney5 Read next: Winter wellness and skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland Read again: 10 things to do in summer in Dalarna, Sweden Neil Sowerby explores the cultural riches of Brits' favourite island Hotel has become a standout in the city since opening just over a year ago Harley Young shares her highlights after spending a long weekend in the coastal city Lily Wallen sees things fall apart in suburbia The pedestrian and bicycling-only curves of E Interlaken Blvd will be filled with thousands of runners and don’t give up you can do it walkers as the Seattle Marathon passes across the north slope of Capitol Hill Sunday morning The Seattle Department of Transportation says there will be trail and street closures across the route including SR-99 Be prepared for delays along 24th Ave E where the route crosses the artery The full marathon’s official start time is 7 AM Many participants won’t arrive in Interlaken until noon Around 15,000 participants are expected across the day’s events including the half and full marathon there were more than 1.700 runners and walkers who finished Times ranged up to 18 minutes per mile for the slowest having the most fun-est runners In 2019 marathon organizers re-routed the course away from Interlaken as part of moves needed to avoid light rail construction on the I-90 bridge and flatten the course After the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 race organizers finally restored the Interlaken portion of the run for the race’s 2022 edition Crowds gather on the northern fringes of Capitol Hill to mark mile 22.5 of the race with an annual final boost of cheering and enthusiasm More information on the race is at seattlemarathon.org Got a tip?

Lucas sparked a wine empire more than 50 years ago when she and her family moved from Long Island to a 68-acre farm in Interlaken but she leaves behind a great grape legacy in the Finger Lakes with the family-owned Lucas Vineyards and her work toward founding the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail she was raised with no agricultural experience according to her son-in-law Jeff Houck who spoke with The Ithaca Journal on Tuesday "My late father-in-law was a tugboat captain so a lot of the work with the winery was Ruth," he said Building a wine trailTo those visiting today it might seem hard to imagine the Finger Lakes region without its dozens of surrounding wineries and vineyards but Lucas originally planned to sell grapes from what would become Lucas Vineyards to wineries in Hammondsport as wine companies like Taylor and Whitmer were cutting contracts with local growers "New York State passed a law that allowed small farm wineries to produce and sell their own wine and that was how they started Lucas Vineyards," Houck said Ruth Lucas worked with a handful of other wine entrepreneurs including Mary Plane of what is now Cayuga Ridge Estates to co-found the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail creating effective business models for small vineyards and wineries in the area "The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail isn’t just the first organized wine trail in the Finger Lakes — it’s the first in the entire country its impact on local tourism has been huge," Wine Trail Executive Director Katherine Chase said Thursday Six Mile Creek and Long Point had joined Cayuga Ridge offering a wide variety of wines in close proximity the trail encompasses 12 vineyards which all began as small grape growers - much like Lucas Vineyards which veered to wine sales in the mid-1970s as the national grape market tanked "Wine tourism brings in millions of dollars every year and the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail plays a big role in that," Chase said "People aren’t just visiting wineries—they’re staying in hotels all of which help fuel the local economy." Chase called Lucas a pioneer and force for good in the Finger Lakes wine industry "She helped shape what the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is today laying the groundwork not just for Lucas Vineyards - the first winery on Cayuga Lake - but for an entire community of wineries to thrive She had a vision for what this region could become we’re now a nationally recognized wine destination." and Stephanie Lucas Houck; six grandchildren and Zachary Lucas; two great grandchildren Ruth was preceded in death by two brothers Eugene and Robert Lewis; and a brother-in-law The family will be present to receive family and friends from 4-7 p.m Prayers of committal will follow at Lake View Cemetery in Interlaken (This story was updated to add new information.)
