On March 24, 2026, 46-year-old Jason Hilde and 46-year-old Anna Child were found shot to death inside a Hamma Hamma Drive residence in Hoodsport, Washington. Neighbors reported hearing shotgun blasts; deputies located Hilde near the front door with a gunshot wound to the head and Child on a stairway. A shotgun and spent shells were recovered at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified 60-year-old Robert T. Child, the estranged husband of Anna Child, as the suspect. A manhunt ended the next day when he was arrested at a gas station outside Shelton after a public tip. Anna had recently obtained a protection order against Child alleging she did not feel safe; that order had not yet been served.

Child was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree burglary and entered a not guilty plea; bail was set at $5 million. Friends and family described Anna as joyful and Jason as a loving father and loyal friend. Did anyone in the Hoodsport area see or hear anything unusual around March 24 that could help explain what happened?
