On Sept. 1, authorities found a 16-year-old boy near a quiet, wooded road in Thurston County, Wash., wearing no shoes, socks or shirt. The day the teen reappeared, detectives in the nearby city of Orting found 51-year-old Daniel McCaw dead inside his home.
The day the teen reappeared, detectives in the nearby city of Orting found 51-year-old Daniel McCaw dead inside his home. He had stab wounds to his body and a bullet wound to his head.
What began as a case of a missing student-athlete has transformed into a complex homicide case, with law enforcement authorities alleging that the teen staged his disappearance after he and his friend sneaked into McCaw’s house and killed him. McCaw once had a relationship with the missing teen’s mother, according to an arrest affidavit. The couple and the boy lived at McCaw’s house for several years, the News Tribune reported, citing court records.McCaw as the man who had been killed.
Days later, on Aug. 31, one of the teens went “missing under suspicious circumstances,” the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office said. He had left his house that afternoon for football practice but never showed up. Deputies later found his vehicle 14 miles away from his school in nearby Tenino. It had “exterior damage, and suspected blood was found on the steering wheel and driver’s door panel,” an affidavit for the teen’s arrest states.
The affidavit also states that a person who knew McCaw told them that the man once had a relationship with the mother of one of the teens, and detectives began to investigate whether there was a connection.
