MURDER OF BENJAMIN EASTMAN, 16 - WASHINGTON
#5
Some more details in today's news reports:

1. Benjamin and suspect Marquez had been friends since childhood.

2. Police were able to hone in on Marquez because he and Benjamin had been texting up til the time they were set to meet up.

3. Marquez and his brother Adamson first buried Benjamin in the shallow grave that police quickly noticed. But, they started to worry about the location, dug up Benjamin, and buried him in another shallow grave on the property. They placed a stick cross over the grave.

I feel so sorry for Benjamin's dad and family. There are some statements from dad, Benjamin Eastman Sr, in the link above.

It's such a brutal crime. Seems like maybe a crime of passion to me. I wonder if Benjamin and Benny Marquez were romantically involved at some point, or if Marquez wished they were? <-- speculative pondering only.
