On January 27, 2017, firefighters responding to a house fire in Bremerton, Washington, found Christale Careaga and two teenage boys, Hunter Schaap and Johnathon Higgins, dead inside the home; investigators determined all three had been shot before the fire was set. John Careaga, 43, was missing after the discovery. A search located his body two days later, on January 29, inside his burned-out pickup truck on a remote Mason County tree farm; he, too, had been shot.

Investigators said the killings were linked to a dispute over drugs and money. John Careaga was reported to have been selling cocaine, and authorities identified three primary suspects: Danie Kelly Jr., Robert Watson, and Johnny Watson, with at least two of the men described as associated with the Bandidos Motorcycle Club. The case drew FBI assistance and extensive local investigation.

Does anyone in the community have information about Careaga’s activities or contacts in the months before January 2017?
