There is a cold case mystery unfolding in Tacoma as crews with Tacoma Emergency Management were seen digging in the backyard of a home.
The Tacoma Police Department is being very tight-lipped about whatever is going on.
Neighbors told KIRO Newsradio that since the beginning of this month, they have seen teams, including the FBI, in the home’s backyard. They started digging on the property Monday.
KIRO Newsradio reported that neighbors gathered in front of the home, and there are about half a dozen people digging under a tent.
The cold case of Teekah Lewis
One of the most notorious cold cases in Tacoma is that of two-year-old Teekah Lewis, who disappeared January 23, 1999. It has been assumed she was abducted from the New Frontier Bowling Alley in Tacoma.
Ironically, the property where this search is ongoing was owned by a family with the surname Lewis.
KIRO Newsradio is working to gather more information.
