Jason Ryan Muschaweck disappeared from his Parkdale, Oregon home on what should have been his 24th birthday, May 4, 2014. Family members discovered the house on Clear Creek Road ransacked on May 5 and found Jason’s two-year-old pit bull, Sox, shot and stabbed. Jason himself was missing, prompting an extensive, year-long search that included aerial sweeps of the area.

In June 2015 three brothers who had been described as longtime family friends — Michael David Schneider, Donald Mathew Schneider, and Peter Damien Schneider, all from Parkdale — were arrested. Authorities said the motive involved the theft of Jason’s pistol and that the stolen gun had been used to shoot him. Michael and Donald were charged with murder-related offenses; Peter faced burglary and theft charges as well as animal abuse counts.

In January 2016 Michael Schneider pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life; Donald Schneider pleaded guilty to manslaughter and burglary and received 20 years and 19 months respectively. At that time Peter Schneider still faced charges connected to the incident. Did anyone in the Parkdale area have contact with Jason in the days before May 4, 2014?
