An apparent homicide in the White Center area is under investigation by King County Sheriff's detectives. Human remains were reported to have been discovered in the 10700 block of Sixth Avenue South.

While the gender of the victim was not announced, the Sheriff's office had previously reported a woman missing from Burien on Oct. 13.

That investigation led to the site where human remains were found. No identity has been determined.

The medical examiner will make the judgement as to whether the remains belong to that of the missing woman or not.
