The Spotlight: Careaga Murders 

And one of the lessons here is, if you love your family, think twice before you decide to engage in Criminal behavior.

That’s some Old School Reporting. Glad to see some people understand Journalism.

Great journalism for a change. Thank you.

What a heart breaking phone call to the police from the son, knowing your at the end of your life, bravery is the word, no one deserves this, i hope they dont see the light of day again, RIP. All to all that lost there life.

I wouldn’t be surprised if other families members knew about the smuggling

He risked his family's lives to sell drugs. Sadly they didn't just kill him they took those poor boys lives. 😢

I’m so grateful to have turned my life around almost 20 years ago that it would ultimately save my life literally and figuratively. After discharge from the military back in the early 1990’s I quickly joined a Motorcycle “Club”. I was still looking for the brotherhood or camaraderie I once had in the military. Plus I had a mountain of energy and loved motorcycle riding. After about 10 years of brushes with the law, jail time, losing a marriage and facing addiction issues I finally checked into a VA Hospital for treatment in April of 2006. I was not only addicted to prescription Benzos and Opiates I was also deep into my PTSD/Anxiety and many other issues. The time in the hospital allowed me to reflect on my life up until that point. I also had a child who was 3 at the time that needed me to be his father while also a go at a new relationship with his mom. My relationship with my sons mother (my 2nd wife) did not last but my relationship with my son and subsequent son is going strong. Not to mention my 3rd marriage and my relationship with her 3 children. Yes I’m a gluten for punishment I guess! 🤣 Anyways I’m 54 and my wife and I love to travel the U.S. via a motorcycle. I find it so relaxing and a day does not go by where I’m not consciously aware that things may have not ended up this way had I chose that “Club” lifestyle. I’m still the same guy but I make way better choices. I look at clubbing the same way I look at addiction. Jails, Institutions or Death. We all have a choice in life. I just happened to choose and prioritize myself, my sons, my marriage, my community, my country and my faith. Not particularly in that order but all are a priority. ✌🏽🇺🇸🙏

An actual news org... that's refreshing. Thank you for the reporting!

went to school with the kids and they were the kindest people you could ever meet, to think their last night ended the way it did is just sickening

Playing the drug game is never worth it! The father put his entire family at risk by getting into this mess. I hope the killers get the death penalty.

Thank you so much for the hard work of those investigators and to civilians who were observant and giving tips

Listening to the sister lie about ‘not knowing anything’ makes me sick

The sister said she had no idea of the drug dealing. And thought they were just the perfect little family. Yeah right…. I knew my family was into selling drugs by the time I was like 4. And watched my grandpa go to prison over it on television by age 5 or so. This sister knew her dad was a drug dealer. But these guys deserve the death penalty for what they did. This was one of the best, most detailed reports from both the police and reporter I have seen in any case in a long time. Refreshing to see actual journalism. Very well done.

I don't care what the father did them kids didn't deserve this🙏😪🙏

I love how they casually mentioned how they were able to identify, attribute and track a burner phone 😂

Disgusting is a mild word for what these three murderers are, that they were capable of such heinous actions aimed at people whom they knew well, 2 teens who died because of parental drug involvement.

Outstanding reporting. Outstanding investigative work. Thank you all so much.

I guarantee his whole family knew about his drug dealing. They might not know what, but they had to have known it was something. Who tf would kill kids though. What a fucking demon.

dad is 100% to blame for his wife and kids being involved

I have no words just so sad my heart goes out to all family and friends

This kind of detailed reporting is uncommon. Kudos to the investigators.

The Father brought this to his family. He knew the code . Rest in peace for the Young.

This is what happens when you deal drugs and associate with biker gangs. I have no sympathy for the dad and his wife for being with a drug dealer scumbag but the kids did not deserve this! I hope they all enjoy the rest of their life in prison!

Makes me think of what was said in the movie Fargo, "all that for a little bit of money".

Bandidos: " expect no mercy". Fine, do NOT show any mercy to Bandidos or their associates. TAKE THEM DOWN!

Great reporting! My dad was a biker when I was a little child, he was in and out of jail he went from one woman to the next and now my dad is a born-again Christian thankfully but he’s a stranger to his grandkids and he doesn’t intimately know his children just over the phone and through email. Sad waste of life being an outlaw

I went to elementary school with Danie Kelly in Seabeck. This story is just horrible! May they get the justice they deserve. 🙏🏼

If you have a family, you probably shouldn't deal drugs. You bring that environment to your family…

Protective Custody because, even in a box with the worst society has to offer, "YOU DONT KILL KIDS!"

i had a feeling when i first heard about this that the father was involved in drug trafficking simply because even the baddest of biker gangs don't target random innocent people

Criminals have no friends, they have business partners and everything is based on trust. When you doubt someone, terminate him.

Makes me wonder when the wife went back to the house, why didn't she call the cops after seeing her husband forced away. This fact tells a likely story that the husband was into drug trafficking and she was afraid to call cops. Fatal mistake.

Wow what an outstanding piece! Great job Fox 13 Seattle covering this tragic case. The son who came home with pizza...poor kid, so close to escaping from the whole ordeal just made me want for him to hear them and run.

This case has bothered me so bad from the first time I heard about it years ago. This video was very informative and answered a lot of the questions I've had for so long. Good job

WOW! What great investigation work.

Such awesome reporting!👏 Great this channel.

You’re not a mastermind of murder until you get away with it. These guys are bumbling fools, like the rest of the murderers.

Two of the three arrestees were fully-patched members of the club, and the family murders and robbery elevated the status of all three in the club; but, _…’we don’t think that the club was in any way involved in, or sanctioned, the crimes.’_ 🤨

At 6:28 did the guy say “pc up. Mexicans are coming”? Lol

Actions have consequences and I am sure it never crossed his mind that his family could be hurt or killed. Lord forgive us our trespasses and help us forgive those who trespass against us.

He brought this on his family by dealing drugs. The kids probably didn’t know but the adults did

Ultimately, the one who made these killings possible, is John Careaga. Don’t be a drug dealer.

Great reporting. Thank you.

I will never understand someone’s thinking. Murder a whole family…. Because that’s better than robbing or anything else 😏

Great job to all who has given this case their all! Your hard work has eventually paid off, and you have brought justice to these families. Kudus…. It is so sad that the two teenagers lost their lives too. RIP!

This seems so unreal like out of a movie!! I am sad that the family lost their life.. praying for everyone involved.. The boys would be adults now!! Betrayed by people you called family!! This is sad.. justice will be served

This is excellent reporting.

Either someone stood at the house and watched the family while they took the dad or the wife new about all of the drugs because how did they kidnap the dad and the wife not call the cops or at least get herself and whomever else was in the house out, but instead they just stood home until they came back to kill everyone, I think someone stood with the family to make sure nobody left

This is sad beyond words! These murders were revenge murders! There was no reason for murdering of the Wife and 2 sons.

This is so weird. I was at an event with Bobby about 2 months ago, sitting across from him for a couple of hours and just chatting about things. He comes across as a nice guy. Would have never thought he did this, but the evidence looks pretty damning. Killers aren't obvious, I guess.

Thank you

When adults deal in drugs, their families are left to pay the price, when you deal with these types, you damn sure better be ready, to deal with what comes with it, in this tragic situation the family paid a high price for drug dealing…..Smh!

Very sad and tragic that young Kids lives were lost for the illegal business of a Father. The Wife / Mom most likely saw them take him away and didn't call the police because of the illegal activities etc. May justice be served.

Great investigation and research on the murderers. It’s horrific that the dad brought all this mess on his loved ones. The biker gang members sowed DEATH ☠️ and they will REAP IT. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🔥 HORRIFYING HOW THEY KILLED the wife and the boys.

Wow good coverage 👍

It's so weird how it's always someone close to you that kills you now.... Family and friends. Trust yourself and you can never go wrong. I am a true loner you just never know what people are into.

When dealing drugs you put your whole family in jeopardy so sad 😞

Justice was finally served!

If the 2 pure sweet boys lives were cut short over something so stupid, how come the family isn't stepping up and condemning the father's drug dealing, which was the sole catalyst of the boys murders? He brought that evil down on his family all by his own actions.

Absolutely fantastic reporting on this.. I have no words really for how put together this was. It helps to serve justice for this family to know the full details and timeline of such a heinous and barbaric crime.

I’m a biker and none of people I know do drugs or sell it . Gang members are the ones that do this.

Had a friend with some association with Bandidos, although not directly involved she was not the same after years. From a decent young lady to a habitual theif. I never understood why riding a motorcycle has anything to do violence, drugs or crime. Simply because of a piece of machinery??

Wow, good work solving this.

"PC up the Mexicans are coming" sheesh I'll hate to be that guy Dead man walking 💯

Why did you have to bring coke into our neighborhood Jonny? I lived within walking distance to Jonnys home, and I heard the gun fire and was wondering what happened and the next day our neighborhood fell apart and by Oct 2017 we sold our property and moved into Silverdale because I was getting tired of caring a 9mm on me when I was doing yard work. now the family can rest in peace.😨

Perfect family. She knew.

Thanks dad and uncle, true family spirit!

The Evil people will do for money is disgusting. I just hope justice is served and the family gets the closure they need.

Extremely sad !!! This family all lost their lives to a set of humans who are law breaking demons yet they murdered a whole family for not playing by their rules? Dads this happened when you act the good family man yet dealing in drugs which is just death and destruction to other families!!! It’s not worth it.. I feel for the daughter. Your dad put all the family in this mess!!!!

When is the trial for all three? Do you have dates? Zoom numbers?

Anytime your dealing in high quantities of drugs and money. Your putting your family at risk. Always separate your home and family from business.

Thank you for covering this case.

Sounds to me like dude joined the motorcycle gang and decide to sacrifice his old friend, what a shame

Those cats were serious hardballers😮

You can tell the poor girl is so choked up about it 🙄.....

Damn this is a horror film makes you rethink how good you have it even when you think you don’t have much

How could you not know your family is moving drugs?

That's cold, to kill 2 kids over some dope and cash . 😢

Thank you for the 60fps

I’m pretty sure the entire family knew he was dealing drugs, the wife probably knew too. You can’t be that naive. This is the cost of doing business when you play criminal games. I feel bad for the kids.

Why does a grown ass man with a job still have the need to cosplay as a gangster? Biker gangs in many ways are childish, and seeing them walk around Bremerton the last 5 years while everyone knew they were involved in this case has felt insurmountably disrespectful.

Excellent story, well detailed 👌

What type of biker gang chapter doesn't go after the killers in 5 years 😂

Real men don’t need to join gangs. Only weak men do.

Play stupid game get stupid prize , dude should not have been dealing dope.

Thanks for keeping our communities safe!

When you deal drugs and you stash money at your house. And somebody else knows about it especially if it's large amounts of cash it's an easy score. Greed takes over evil men don't care who they kill as long as they get their hands on the cash. When you get involved in this kind of Circle it never ends up good.

Terrible, evil greed, killing innocent people and throwing your own life away for what?? Drugs and money?? Pure evil and insanity

don't marry a drug dealer

The family must've been either absolutely clueless of their father/husband's activities or were absolutely sure in his invincibility. Very sad.

Gotta admit, Fox 13 Seattle did a good job on this investigative report.

6:29 DID DUDE SAY "ALL THE MEXCNS ARE COMING " ? LOL TF

Great Detective work! Congratulations, I hope this helps the family with some kind of Closure 🙏 What a awful tragedy over something as senseless as drugs! If you have a addiction please get help!

That family member " I didn't know that.....I just thought we were the little perfect family".......is lying...in my opinion.

Too many people thinks tv shows are real and emulate them. Unbelievable.

We would eat at the restaurant the boys worked at and they were always so polite and nice! So devastating

My mother dated bikers, I remember seeing crank labs, always thought it'd be cool to be in a club until I realized you gotta do this kinda shit

They were so loving they were selling dope to other people and getting them hooked on dope and Roman families but they were so loving

This story was very well done.

I'm pretty sure the Bandidos used more colorful language than " we have nothing to tell you" haha
