On January 27, 2017, 16-year-old Hunter Evan Schaap was killed in a violent attack at his Bremerton, Washington home. Hunter was at the house with his stepmother, 37-year-old Christale Careaga, and his 16-year-old stepbrother, Johnathon Higgins, when intruders entered. Hunter placed a 911 call saying his family had been shot. First responders arrived to find the house on fire; once firefighters brought the blaze under control, the three were found dead inside. Investigators determined all three had been shot before the fire was set.

Two days later Hunter’s stepfather, 43-year-old John Careaga, was found dead in his burned truck in a remote area of Mason County. Investigators later linked the killings to members and associates of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club and said the suspected motive involved a financial dispute related to drugs.

Did anyone in the community have contact with the family or observe anything unusual around January 27, 2017?
