Seattle teenagers find body parts on Alkai Beach
"A viral TikTok video shows two teenage girls discovering a suitcase containing body parts on a Seattle beach, and police say that human remains were found. The teens used the Randonautica app, which randomly sent them to the location.
In the TikTok video, two girls are at the beach and discover a black suitcase on the rocks. When they open it, they discover a black bag inside and reveal it smells awful.
The post by TikTok user “Ugh Henry” is captioned, “Something traumatic happened that changed my life checkkkk 😐🥺 @natthecvt #fyp #viral #crime #murder #randonautica #randonauting #scary #washington.” In the video, another caption explains, “Randonaut sent us to this part of the beach… and we found this black suitcase. We were joking that maybe the suitcase would have money.” As SOON as she opened it, the smell was overwhelming.”
The girls called the police. They said they were getting scared and nervous. Pretty soon, police arrived, and it turned into a crime scene. Then it got real.
Acording to Wired, Randonautica “is using a random number generator to produce specific coordinates within a set radius of your current location that you can travel to as a way of exploring the world around you. People gather these coordinates through a dedicated app, Randonautica, where they can further define what they want to encounter.”
Wired explained, “The app encourages users to set a personal intention before visiting a location, in the hopes of uncovering ‘synchronicities,’ coincidences or occurrences outside usual patterns of experience.” The hashtag #radonautchallenge has taken off on TikTok in particular.

Police Revealed Several Bags ‘Containing Human Remains’ Were Discovered Near the Water
The Seattle Police Department confirmed the discovery in a news release, writing on June 19, 2020, “Detectives are currently investigating after several bags containing human remains were located near the water in the 1100 block of Alki Avenue SW this afternoon.”
“Police responded after receiving a call of a suspicious bag on the beach. Another bag was located in the water. Once the contents were determined to be remains, detectives responded to begin their investigation. Harbor Patrol is assisting on the call, and detectives will work closely with the King County Medical Examiner’s Office as the investigation proceeds. This remains an active and on-going investigation.”
The identities of the human remains – and whether they belong to one person or more than one person – are not clear. The cause of death is not, either.
At first, it wasn’t clear what was in the bags. West Seattle blog noted that police found “a black plastic bag that smelled really bad.” A woman wrote on that comment thread, “My kids and I were driving Alki when we happened upon the scene. We saw SPD zipping someone (or something) into a full-size black body bag. And over the radio they talked about sweeping the scene. So much for taking the kids to the beach. My condolences to whoever it may be.”
People found the discovery chilling.
Some kids on tiktok found the body that was discovered on alki beach this past weekend using a geocaching type app and I am so shook.

WATCH: TikTok Video Shows Randonauting Teens Finding Suitcase With Dead Body Parts
Well these tik tok andys about to die next
I'm glad they decided to call the cops and not open the bag itself. That would have been horrifying!
Yeah and then the guy who's filming this made a tik tok afterwards showing off that they made the news and him standing there like "yeah that was my video".. so those kids don't seem to be scared or saddened about what happened.. they think it made them viral
Why are they not investigating this app? Someone dropped those there, to be found.
Imagine if it was elephant poop
I’d rather go in my basement if someone told me to use this app.
Btw the police took over an hour n a half to get there….
This is sickening, nobody is talking about how these kids filmed themselves discovering a dead body, and have the audacity to put creepy music over it, then post it! It was so conveniently placed too, and they just happened to walk by and open it. No shit they did it, no killer would be stupid enough to just leave suitcases in a river where people could find
the way the camera guy is laughing at everything makes me think hes the killer lol
maybe the creators of the app are doing black magic or telepathy cause i downloaded the app and i typed "Anomaly" cuz i didnt really knew what it meant and it said imagine the location and it really looks like the location that imagined so i dont recommend you to download this app if you want to download it….its your choice not mine
I’ve seen a lot of people commenting “why they didn’t open the bag all the way” well it’s clear that you haven’t ever seen a torso that has been dismembered and mangled (most of the time in a rush might I add) or even a body in general at a such rate of decomposition, not like how a normal burial is carried out with the act of embalming with formaldehyde etc. no, you’re talking pure putrefaction of all organs and muscle tissue, where the body is discolored, swollen, bloated and we’re not even talking about the smell yet, it’s the most horrifying thing you could ever imagine in any way you look at it, although judging by the people in this video and their reactions afterward I genuinely am surprised that they didn’t just for the clout alone, shocking to see and I’d be willing to bet they’d be the first to cry at the top of their lungs from their little “social pedestals” about the BLM movement, “Defund the police” or be outraged if someone is misgendered or discriminated against blah blah bullshit, sick of these self righteous bastards
Who else is here from jessi vee
they used an app called "Randonautica"
i think
This is like dexter
CSI Seattle
Whoever made this app is… wierd, or just a coincidence? Maybe insane
Why do they seem low key not surprised !! I would be freaking out not standing around smiling
