Police Ask Hikers in the I-90 Corridor If They Have Seen Truck at Trailheads

Police are asking people that regularly hike trails in the I-90 corridor area to call police if they remember seeing a red Toyota pickup routinely parked at any trailhead in the last year. 

Peter A. Keller, a “person of interest” in the that occurred Sunday morning near North Bend, is known to be an avid hiker.  Police were told that he usually drove a 1994 faded red Toyota pickup when he went hiking. 

“We have the truck, but we want to know if anyone has seen it regularly parked at any trailhead,” said Sergeant Cindi West, spokesperson for the King County Sheriff’s Office. 

The Seattle Times reported this afternoon that law enforcement has posted flyers in local trail areas warning that Keller could be armed, and they are searching hiking trails for him. Several weapons were missing from the home at the time of the fire. Though the victims have not been officially identified, the Times reports that sources close to the investigation have named the two women as 41-year-old Lynnettee Keller and her 19-year-old daughter, Kaylene.

The Times reports that police have searched an Issaquah home that may be related to Keller, but he was not located there.

Police also said that he occasionally took his mountain bike with him and recently had been seen hiking with a “very large backpack.”

Keller is known to be an avid hiker and familiar with local trails, and they are seeking information from ayone who may have seen the truck at local trailheads.

If you remember seeing this truck parked at any trailhead in the last year, please call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 or 911.
