Two Arrested Following Discovery of Human Remains on Military Base in Washington State

A missing person investigation in Washington state has transitioned into a homicide investigation after human remains were found on military property. The investigation began on June 12, when the Tacoma Police Department received a missing person report for Caelick Bradley, 28, who was last seen on June 8. Tacoma detectives discovered that an unauthorized individual was using Bradley's credit card, leading them to Humberto Rodriguez Hernandez. During questioning, Hernandez provided information about a murder that occurred on Addison Street SW in Lakewood, which led detectives to the remains in a training area on Joint Base Lewis-McChord property near Spanaway. Hernandez also implicated a second suspect, Aydee Casado-Dominguez, who was arrested outside her home. Both suspects have been charged with homicide and are currently held in the Pierce County Jail. Joint Base Lewis-McChord confirmed the discovery of the remains and stated that one of the suspects is an active-duty service member. The Army Criminal Investigation Division is collaborating with local police departments on the investigation. The identification of the remains and the cause of death are pending examination by the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office.
