EVERETT — A deceased male adult found Thursday on Rucker Avenue is a Snohomish County landlord who was reported missing the previous day, Everett police confirmed Tuesday.
Friends and family circulated missing posters for Daniel Lytton on social media after the 71-year-old was last seen around 11:30 a.m. Nov. 5 near 2606 Grand Avenue in Everett. He was reportedly wearing cargo pants, a dark shirt and sneakers, according to the social media posts.
Around noon Nov. 6, officers responded to reports of a body, later identified as Lytton, discovered in the 2700 block of Rucker Avenue, according to Everett Police Department spokesperson C.J. Hawley.
Susan Savage, a tenant of Lytton’s for around eight years, said he was “such a nice fellow” and that the atmosphere among the other tenants has been somber since the news broke. She told The Daily Herald she last saw him Nov. 5, when he was working in the building next door on Grand Avenue.
“It wasn’t like him to just disappear like that,” she said Tuesday.
Shortly after Lytton’s body was discovered, Savage said she saw police officers stationed outside her address for an unknown period of time. On Tuesday, Everett police declined to comment on the nature of the death, Hawley said, citing the ongoing investigation.
