Detectives believe the 51-year-old victims died from gunshot wounds.
On Saturday, deputies identified 40-year-old Shaun D. Rose as a suspect. They considered him armed and dangerous and believed he was hiding in Pierce County or the Tacoma area., which officers described as a struggle.
Rose was first seen driving a white Buick in Mason County, but he later ditched that car and stole another in Pierce County, before ditching that one in Tacoma.The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office says Rose will be booked into the Kitsap County Jail on a no-bail felony murder warrant. “It’s huge,” said Kitsap County Sheriff Lt. Ken Dickinson. “This is a gruesome crime that happened in a rural small town of Olalla where that kind of crime doesn’t happen.”
Rose had his first court appearance on Aug. 23. He is pleading not guilty to both counts of aggravated murder. He is set to appear again in court on the morning of Sept. 13. Anyone who has information about the deaths or saw anyone suspicious in the area is asked to contact Detective Jennifer Rice at 360-337-5616 or by email at
