VALLEYFORD, Wash. (AP) — A woman being held in the Whitman County Jail recently told law enforcement officers that she found a body in the garage of an abandoned-looking home in Valleyford, which is just south of Spokane.
Spokane County sheriff’s deputies then searched the property and found the homeowner’s body inside a vehicle in the garage.
Ashley Baird was arrested on another charge and told deputies she found the body a month ago while searching the home.
Spokane County deputies obtained a search warrant and discovered the body. The Spokane County Medical Examiner ruled the homeowner’s death as a suicide.
