Hood River County Sheriff’s deputies were called to Jason’s residence at 6:18 p.m., Monday by relatives, who Sheriff Matt English said reported a “possible burglary.” Inside, deputies found Jason’s dog, a 2-year-old female Pit bull named Sox, in a bathroom with multiple puncture wounds to the throat, possibly from a pair of scissors, as well as a gunshot wound to the head. The dog survived and is currently at Tucker Road Animal Hospital, in Hood River, although Jessica said that veterinarians have been unable to extract the bullet fragments.

And what about this?

“At this point, there is no definitive information that there was foul play,” English reported Wednesday morning. “We just don’t know where he is.”

All that stuff is missing yet they're not sure there was a burglary?

And they have nothing definitive showing there was foul play?

That almost sounds like LE is implicating HIM, doesn't it? Like he took his own stuff and then is gone by choice?

Wednesday, the Hood River County Sheriff's Department arrested three brothers, Michael, Donald and Peter Schneider for breaking into Muschaweck's house. Michael and Donald Schneider are also facing murder charges; prosecutors say the two took Muschaweck's own gun and used it to kill him, before taking his body away and doing something with it.

Hood River County Sheriff Matt English said Muschaweck's remains were found, but is not saying where, or what may have been done to the body.

Jason's mother, Sharon Muschaweck, was in court Thursday morning when the Schneider brothers were arraigned.
