Chase Catelli, 35, was killed in June 2022 near Spangle, Washington, after months of uncertainty about his disappearance. A father of five who enjoyed animals and outdoor photography, he often drove with his dog and spent time at a residence on West Jennings Road where he lived intermittently.

In January 2023 Chase’s mother, Christine Catelli, confessed to killing him. She told detectives she shot him five or six times in the chest and head at her boyfriend’s home, then dismembered his body, removing his head with a saw. She led officers to remains wrapped in black plastic beneath a small concrete bridge near Rock Lake in Whitman County. Christine said Chase had threatened her with a gun and had been firing a weapon inside her boyfriend’s van and at the house.

The case resolved when Christine pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and received a six and a half year sentence in June 2024; she was to receive credit for time already served and undergo substance abuse and mental health evaluations. Does anyone have information about Chase’s time in the Spangle area or about the West Jennings Road residence?
