SKAGIT COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Skagit County Sheriff’s Office investigators have requested that a murder charge be brought against a man in the death of Krista Hunt of Concrete.

The 37-year-old woman’s remains were found along the Skagit River on March 12, and she was identified on Tuesday, March 17.

Hunt had been reported missing in early February.

Investigators say they’ve recovered enough evidence for Juan Manuel Delgado Jr. to be charged with 2nd degree murder in the case.

They say the victim and suspect knew each other but haven’t released many other details about the investigation.

Delgado was being held in the Skagit County Jail on unrelated charges when the murder recommendation was brought against him.
