Charles Albion Austin, 51, was found dead at his home in Belfair, Washington, on May 23, 2015, after neighbors checked on him and called authorities. The Mason County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and determined Austin had been shot.

Two men were arrested in connection with the case: Christopher Glen Redfern, 27, of Port Orchard, and Daniel Alan Dunn, 35, of Belfair. Investigators say Dunn accused Austin of being a pedophile, which led to a confrontation; Dunn told police Austin lunged at him and he shot Austin in the head. No weapon was recovered on Austin, and there are no records showing Austin had been convicted of sexual offenses. Detectives say clues from the scene also indicate Dunn and Redfern returned the next day to steal items from the residence. Dunn was held on first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, and firearm theft charges, while Redfern faced burglary and theft counts as prosecutors prepared formal charges.

Does anyone have information about Austin, his movements in Belfair around May 2015, or about the events the day before he was found?
