The families of two men found dead, “shredded like trash” at a Tacoma recycling plant within a few days believe the victims died together.
Zack Hillis and Jeremy Lindsay's remains were discovered at JMK Fibers Recycling Center on April 12 and April 15.
“It's a grief you don't have any words for,” Hillis' father said. “Shredded like trash and thrown on conveyor belts and crushed in the garbage can multiple times.”
The devastated man said that his son was a fentanyl addict and schizophrenic. Zack was just released from jail where he likely met the other victim, 34-year-old Jeremy Lindsay.
“We just hope and pray he wasn't alive when he was either put in there or in any process of this recycling center machinery,” Lindsay's dad said.
“The description of the body after going through that even after it's found is horrendous.”
Authorities identified the two men through fingerprints and tattoos. No foul play is suspected in their deaths that appeared to have happened at the same time.
“It was almost bittersweet because my son didn't die alone, is what I'm thinking, because they had met in jail,” Zack's father added.
