Suspect in killing of Mount Rainier ranger found dead | KING5.com Seattle
A man who was suspected in the killing of Mount Rainier National Park Ranger Margaret Anderson on Sunday morning was found deceased on Monday.
A law enforcement officer with knowledge of the situation said Benjamin Colton Barnes was found in a ditch not far from where he took off after the shooting.
“One of the air units and some of the FBI SWAT team members and Sheriff’s SWAT team members have found a body,” said Det. Sgt. Ed Troyer. “We have not gotten to it, we are nowhere near it, it’s still buried in the snow.”
The body was spotted face down about two miles below Paradise in a rugged area, Ranger Kevin Bacher said at a media briefing.
