EVERETT, Wash. - The man who had been suspected of murdering an Everett woman and hiding her body under a mattress has been released from jail and the case against him has been dismissed, officials said.
The suspect, Carl Bustard, never was formally charged in the case. But court documents originally said there was probable cause to arrest him for the killing, and a Snohomish County Superior Court judge ordered him to be held in jail on $5 million bail.
However, as the investigation continued, evidence showed that he was not in Everett at the time of the killing.
Bustard told KOMO News on Friday that he was shocked and extremely hurt by the allegations that were made against him.
