David and Geralyn Covey, an elderly couple from Omak, Washington, were found dead on their rural Chesaw property on February 16, 2022, after failing to return from a trip to check unusual activity on their power bill. The couple had driven to land off Nealey Road on February 13; their truck was later found abandoned at the gate that evening and a welfare check was requested on February 15 when family could not reach them.

A search by family and deputies expanded on February 16 to include the Okanogan County Search and Rescue team, who used drones and off-road vehicles. The search uncovered both bodies and signs that the deaths were the result of foul play; an autopsy later confirmed both had been shot. Investigators reported a man seen on the property who fled from deputies twice and found some of the Coveys’ belongings and two of their dogs in a nearby cabin.

Police identified 25-year-old Dylan J. Harrington of Chesaw as a person of interest and sought warrants charging him with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts related to unauthorized removal or concealment of bodies. Did anyone in the Chesaw or Omak area notice suspicious activity around Nealey Road in February 2022?
