SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. (WOOD) – Sonoma County sheriff’s officials say a suspect in the 2004 murders of a Zeeland man and his fiancée is in police custody for another murder.
In a Friday news conference, authorities said the suspect in the murders of 26-year-old Jason Allen and 23-year-old Lindsay Cutshall is Shaun Gallon, 38, of Forestville, California.
The bodies of Allen and Cutshall were found in their sleeping bags three days after the couple was murdered on Horseshoe Beach in Jenner, California in August 2004. Both had been shot in the head.
Both Allen and Cutshall, who was from Fresno, Ohio, were camp counselors. They were reported missing by the camp at which they worked. They were on a three-day sight-seeing trip of the Northern California coast when they were killed.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said Gallon was in custody for his brother’s recent murder at their home when he made statements to authorities that connected him to the cold case murders.
