Accused double-killer Joseph Ayala has not been seen since last August.
Fearful area residents are asking if a body found in Len Ford Park may be that of a fugitive Alderwood double killer.
Police on March 13 removed a body from the 295 Lake Promenade lakefront park.
Officers said there were no signs of foul play and an autopsy is being conducted to determine if the death was suspicious.
The discovery brought up concerns that the body may belong to an Alderwood man sought for the brutal murders of two women last August 23.
Concerned residents are asking if the body found belongs to accused killer Joseph Ayala.
It has been almost eight months since Joseph Ayala, 33, disappeared from sight with police on his trail for two counts of second-degree murder after an 82-year-old woman and a 60-year-old woman in a home in the Sheldon and Silvercrest Avenues area, in Alderwood.
There has been sightings of the suspect, whom police believe was still alive.
Police believed Ayala was hiding somewhere in the community and have searched ravines, ditches, bushes, parks and lakes for the accused double killer.
Some women and seniors in the area said they do not go out at night and lock their doors due to fears of the fugitive. Many leave their lights on and pay close attention to their sheds and backyards.
