Seattle mother 'was dismembered with a 15-inch pruning saw in her own bathroom': Horrifying details of woman's murder emerge as her date claims he was so drunk he doesn't remember what happened 

Detectives investigating the gruesome murder of a woman whose head, leg, and arm were dumped in a recycling bin in Seattle found a 15-inch pruning saw, blood, and bits of flesh in the bathroom, court documents reveal.

Ingrid Lyne, 40, was reported missing on Saturday morning after she went on a date at the Seattle Mariners opening game the previous night with a man she had met online and dated for about a month, court records show.

John Robert Charlton, 37, who is suspected of second-degree murder, told investigators he was too intoxicated to remember what happened after the two left the game and returned to her Renton, Washington, home.

Charlton was taken into custody on Monday and found with abrasions on his forehead and left hand, despite claiming he was not injured. Detectives also noticed his lip and chin were injured and there were scratch marks around his chest.

He has a lengthy criminal history in six states and served jail time in Utah and Montana. His own parents, Ray and JoAnn Charlton filed for a restraining order against their son in 2006 because they feared for their safety following his drunken outbursts.

On one occasion Charlton threatened his mother by telling her to watch the 2001 film Hannibal, starring Anthony Hopkins as a serial killer and cannibal, the Seattle Times reported.

Investigators are searching for the remnants of Lyne's body and enlisting the help of FBI and other law enforcement agencies to look into any similar crimes in the area, a source told the newspaper.

Her body parts were packaged in translucent trash bags and dumped about 2.7miles away from Safeco Stadium. Lyne was likely killed in Renton and then driven to Seattle, King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Worley said

During a search of her house, detectives found the pruning saw near the bathtub, which relatives confirmed was not typically there.

Bits of human flesh and blood were recovered from the tub's drain, King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Worley said Tuesday.

An anonymous source told the Seattle Times 'significant' physical evidence had been found in her home. 

They also found plastic trash bags 'identical in color and size' to the ones Lyne's body parts were found in. 

Charlton appeared at the Kings County Jail Courtroom today, and is suspected of second-degree murder. He is held on $2million bail.

Court records show Ray and JoAnn Charlton filed for a temporary protection order in 2006, saying their son tried to provoke a fight with them when he was drunk and verbally abusive. 

The petition was later dismissed at the parents' request, but Ray said: 'During this time frame, he removed a movie from the shelf called Hannibal, set it in front of my wife and told her she should watch this and "beware".' 

He also told them 'life was putting too much pressure on him' and that he felt he was becoming mentally unstable, KIRO7 reported.

Charlton has a criminal history in six states, court documents reveal. 

He was convicted of a 2009 felony theft in Montana, negligent driving in Washington state in 1998, and a second-degree felony for aggravated robbery in Utah in 2006. 

He has also been convicted of grand theft motor vehicle, assault, third-degree larceny, with an arrest for battery. 

He was found guilty of possession of marijuana in 1997, but the charge was deferred, the Seattle Times reports. 

Lyne, 40, was last seen leaving to attend the Seattle Mariners opening game on Friday, where she was planning to meet Charlton on a date, her friends said. 

A source claimed it was not their first date, and Charlton told officials the two had been seeing each other for about a month, according to the Certification for Determination of Probable Cause. 

Charlton had at least two profiles on the dating websites Plenty of Fish and Mingle2.com. It is unclear how the two met online, although KIRO7 reported someone sent in a POF dating profile that appeared to be Lyne's.

Lyne's ex-husband Phillip Lyne, whom she divorced in 2014, reported her missing around 10:10am Saturday morning, when he tried dropping off their three daughters, aged 7, 10, and 12, and found the house empty. 

Charlton had more than one dating profile. In the 'About Me' section on Plenty of Fish, he writes, 'My intent here is simply make friends and meet up for a good conversation...not much of the crowded bar or club type. Mellow and quiet is more my scene,' adding, 'I'm not here for dating. Only friendships. This is not some scam to get laid either'

Lyne's body has not been found, but the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies are investigating whether there were any other similar crimes in the region, a source told the Seattle Times

Lyne's ex-husband notified her mother Jorga Bass, who checked her daughter's phone records after she went missing. When Bass texted Charlton's number asking for help, the 37-year-old replied: '911? What's going on?'

Her remains were still 'fresh' when they were recovered Saturday afternoon in a neighborhood about 2.7miles away from Safeco Stadium, an officer said.

The homeowner had been away for three days. He returned on Saturday and noticed the weight of the recycling bins, which should have been emptied while he was gone, according to court documents.

He emptied the contents on his lawn, revealing translucent trash bags containing Lyne's head, an arm with a hand attached, and a lower leg and foot. The homeowner called 911.

Court documents state Lyne's remains were found with no signs of decomposition. 

Her facial features were intact, and police identified her after they learned of the missings person report and obtained her photograph. 

Official confirmation of her identity is pending an autopsy.

When Charlton was taken into custody and questioned, detectives noticed there were minor injuries to his face, chest, and left hand.

The 37-year old said the two had gone to the Mariner's game.

He was so intoxicated he could not recall how they got back to her house and what happened afterwards, according to court documents. 

He told authorities they returned to her house in her car, and had sex. He said Lyne was acting 'weird', but did not elaborate, according to the documents.

He was unsure how he left her house, but claims he slept on the sidewalks of Seattle.

He then told authorities he spent Saturday and Sunday night at an ex-girlfriend's house in Lake Stevens about one hour north of Lyne's home, documents state.

Investigators believe Lyne was killed in Renton and then driven to Seattle, where her remains were dumped, King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Worley said Tuesday during Charlton's bail hearing.

When Lyne's ex-husband didn't find her at her house, he notified her mother Jorga Bass, who entered the residence with a spare key and found Lyne's personal items still inside.

Worried friends had circulated photographs of both Lyne and Charlton on Facebook in hopes of tracking them down. 

The remainder of Lyne's body has not been found, but the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies are looking into any other, similar crimes in the region, a source told the Seattle Times

Authorities believe Charlton was the man who Lyne was meeting on a date, and no other suspects are being pursued

Lyne's friends grew suspicious of Charlton when he couldn't be reached, even though he made a bizarre posting on Facebook Saturday morning, saying he had started going to school at 'All OF Them'. The post was made after Lyne was reported missing but before her remains were found.

Bass, who shares a Verizon account with her daughter, checked her phone records and saw a recurring number, which another family member then linked to Charlton by searching the web.

Bass texted the number, addressed Charlton by name, asked when he last saw her and said she had called 911.

The 37-year-old responded:  '911? What's going on? We went to the Mariners game last night but we didn't stay the night together because she has her kids today...not sure what she has told you about me and our relationship.'

When Bass told him a police officer was looking to speak to him, he ceased to respond.

When the murder suspect was taken into custody and questioned, he said the two had returned to her home in her car after the Mariner's game on Friday, court documents reveal. He said he had spent the night at her house several times before.

Charlton (pictured) used his Facebook on Saturday at 10.21am after the 40-year-old was already reported missing. Evidence such as telephone call records led detectives to arrest Charlton at a home in Lake Stevens, Washington 

Seattle Police Assistant Chief Robert Merner said they were 'led to a suspect early on' in the investigation. Authorities do not believe there are additional suspects.  

Her silver 2015 Toyota Highlander, with the plate number AUW3230, was also initially reported stolen and was later found in downtown Seattle.

The investigation is ongoing, and Charlton has not been charged. His is currently held with bail set at $2million.

Lyne's friends were emotional on Monday when they learned news that her remains had been found.

'It's just wrong; it was just so wrong,' longtime friend Nicole Rock told Q13.

'Why did he do this? And why did he put her in pieces? Rock asked. 'To think about their kids, and they need their mom. Kids, they need a mom.'

Neighbor Edward Franceschina, 74, says he last saw Lyne on Friday afternoon, checking her mail. Neighbors say she has been living on the block for the past 13 years.

He said police detectives searched her house around 12.30am Sunday, and spoke to a resident down the street with a security camera.  

'Why did he do this? And why did he put her in pieces? Lyne's longtime friend Nicole Rock (pictured) asked. 'To think about their kids, and they need their mom. Kids, they need a mom.'

A Seattle homeowner found the packages at 4pm on Saturday, and called 911. Law enforcement were able to identify the remains using a picture of Lyne

Flowers were seen outside Lyne's home in suburban Renton, Washington after news of her death on Monday 

It is unclear which dating site Lyne was using when she met Charlton, although he had accounts on Plenty of Fish and Mingle2.com.  

Lyne's three children are currently staying with their father, and a GoFundMe page set up for daughters has already raised more than $64,000 with the help of more than 1,300 people. 

Lyne's family members have released a statement remembering her as a 'beloved mother, daughter, sister and friend,' Q13 reported. 

They also included an update on her three daughters, stating: 'While devastated, they have been amazingly resilient and we couldn’t be more proud of how they have handled what will be the worst news of their young lives.' 

Lyne's car, a 2015 gray Toyota Highlander, (like the stock image above), was found in downtown Seattle 

NANCY MOYER DISAPPEARANCE IN 2009 REMAINS UNSOLVED

Nancy Moyer disappeared in 2009 about 75 miles south of Seattle, and has never been found

A source told the Seattle Times investigators are looking into any similar crimes in the region, given the shocking details of Ingrid Lyne's murder.

On March 6, 2009, a 36-year-old woman Nancy Moyer disappeared in Tenino, Washington, about 75 miles south of Seattle.

She was never found, and police say while it is possible she could have gone into hiding, she is most likely dead. 

Like Lyne, red flags were raised by her husband, who Moyer had separated from. He arrived at her home to drop off their daughters, and found the front door open and the TV on.

A glass of red wine was left in the living room, and all of her personal items were still in the house. Her car was also still parked in the driveway.

Convicted murderer Bernard K. Howell was at one point deemed a person of interest in the investigation.

But Thurston County Chief Deputy Brad Watkins told The Chronicle: 'He’s one of these people that we’ve talked to more than once.

'We have no concrete evidence to support that he had anything to do with her disappearance.'

Seven years later, the case remains unsolved.
