SEABECK, Wash. — The Kitsap County Coroner's Office has identified the three victims found inside their burning home in Seabeck and a victim found in a burned truck in Mason County last week.
Hunter E. Schaap, 16, Johnathon F. Higgins, 16, and 37-year-old Christale Lynn Careaga, and 43-year-old John Careaga died of homicidal violence.
John Careaga, had been missing since at least 11:30 p.m. Friday when Kitsap County Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call that something violent was happening inside the Seabeck home, but they couldn't go inside immediately because the house was on fire.
Once the fire was out, the bodies were discovered.
Police had been looking for John Careaga’s 2005 Ford F-150 pickup truck. It was found burned in Mason County, with human remains inside.
On Tuesday night, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office said the remains were of John Careaga.
Officials said the investigation is continuing and do not believe the homicides were a random act.
Detectives are asking anyone with information related to the quadruple murder to call Detective Lissa Gundrum at 360-337-5669. Callers may remain anonymous.
