On December 3, 2015, 22-year-old Charissa Dobbins and her 23-year-old fiancé, Daniel Miller, were found dead inside their Fife, Washington home. A friend who became worried after they did not answer the door entered through a window and discovered both victims with fatal gunshot wounds to the head; deputies determined the shots were fired at close range.

Investigators focused on a 22-year-old acquaintance, Brett Ashdon Dollens, after learning the killings appeared drug-related. Miller was known to be a heroin dealer and had recently accused Dollens of stealing Percocet pills, creating a feud. A witness reported Dollens had spoken of a plan to rob Miller and mentioned using a revolver so no shell casings would be left behind. Dollens was arrested the same night.

Dollens told detectives he went to apologize and that Miller pulled a gun during a struggle that discharged, but the medical examiner reported no signs of a struggle or defensive wounds on either victim. The deaths left Dobbins’ young son without his mother. Did anyone in the Fife area know the couple or have information about tensions between Miller and Dollens?
