Matthew Schoshke, a 35-year-old White man, was found dead in the bathroom of his rural Tescott, Kansas home on August 12, 2017. A family member discovered his body; investigators determined he had been shot five times with his own handgun. Schoshke’s 2006 Ford F-150 pickup, wallet, cellphone, and his dog Zeus were missing from the residence.

Authorities traced the stolen pickup to Los Angeles and focused on a suspect who had been traveling cross-country from Maine to California. That man, identified as 34-year-old Robert Colson of Bucksport, Maine, was located on August 25, 2017 in Martinez, California, on an Amtrak train. A warrant for first-degree murder had been issued and, during the encounter, Colson was involved in a separate violent incident and was injured before being taken into custody and hospitalized; he was later returned to Kansas to face murder charges.

What information might help fill gaps about Colson’s movements before he arrived at Schoshke’s home?
