Neighbors say body found may be former tenant

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) _ Anchorage police are releasing little information about a body found after a fire in an apartment building.

The charred remains were found in rubble of a Tudor Road apartment and police are treating it as a homicide.

Police spokeswoman Anita Shell says the remains could not even be distinguished as a man or woman.

Apartment manager Billy O'Neil says he believes the body is that of tenant Brendan Wilson.

The apartment had a fire Tuesday and then another Saturday, when the body was found.

Fire officials say the first fire displaced Wilson and another resident.

Anchorage Fire Department spokesman Tom Kempton says that nothing about the first fire, which started in a bedroom closet, seemed suspicious.

He says the origin of Saturday's fire was suspicious.

Shell says it's unclear whether the victim died at the apartment or was dumped there.

A truck registered to Wilson was parked outside the apartment building Saturday night.
