In this article there is a link to the probable cause statement. It's long but very enlightening.
I have lived in Port Angeles since 2001 and this is the first case like this since I've lived here. Hard to believe that stuff like this could ever happen here.
It's so messed up. I was wondering if meth was involved in this case.
Meth is the mother of the love of money. I swear. Why anyone would want to make,or use it is beyond me.
MOO

Dennis Melvin Bauer, 50, a commercial floor cleaner with a criminal record in Oklahoma, is accused of three counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, including the execution-style killing of Iverson Trucking Company owner and alleged drug dealer Darrell C. Iverson, 57, according to the probable cause statement released Friday (Bauer Pc Statement).

Clallam County Superior Court Judge Brian Coughenour set the $3.5 million bail on Friday, an amount that Sheriff Bill Benedict said Saturday is among the highest amounts, if not the highest, in the county’s history.

“I have no wish to be released, your honor,” Bauer told Coughenour in a video hearing from the courthouse basement jail.

Coughenour set a court hearing for 1 p.m. Tuesday for the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to file formal charges against Bauer, whose arraignment is tentatively set for Feb. 8.

Iverson, his son, Jordan D. Iverson, 27, and Jordan Iverson’s girlfriend, Tiffany May, 26, were slain at Darrell Iverson’s 52 Bear Meadow Road residence, each shot multiple times, including once in the head.

PORT ANGELES — A woman accused in three killings late last month was booked into the Clallam County jail early Sunday morning, initially held on two unrelated warrants two days after her alleged accomplice appeared in court.

Now two people, Kallie Ann Letellier, 34, and her alleged accomplice, Dennis M. Bauer, 50, have been arrested in connection to the deaths of Darrell C. Iverson, 57; his son, Jordan D. Iverson, 27; and the son’s girlfriend, Tiffany A. May, 26.

Letellier is also known as Kallie Ann Wade and Kallie Ann Buchanan, according to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.

Interviews with 11 people familiar with the Iversons showed that use of methamphetamine was significant at the elder Iverson’s home, where he traded for weapons, court documents say.

Their deaths had less to do with drugs or money than it did with the elder Iverson’s alleged treatment of Letellier, the report says.

Bauer allegedly wanted to get back at Darrell Iverson for Iverson’s treatment of Letellier, according to Ryan Warren Ward, Bauer’s nephew and a key part of the investigation, according to the probable cause statement.

Charges ramped up on Port Angeles triple homicide suspect.
Authorities work to solidify cases against three accused

Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Michele Devlin added aggravated to the three first-degree murder charges, “based upon newly discovered evidence,” she said at the hearing.

That means that in intentionally causing someone’s death in a premeditated manner, “there was more than one victim and the murders were part of a common scheme or plan or the result of a single act of the person,” according to state law.

Firearms enhancements also were added to Bauer’s three murder charges.

He left a magazine for the gun he allegedly used at the scene, according to court documents.

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Superior Court Judge Lauren Erickson has ruled that Dennis Bauer, who is charged with three counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the triple homicide over the holidays, should be transferred to the Kitsap County jail as he awaits his 2020 trial.

Erickson made the decision Friday after hearing oral arguments and having a chance to review case law, striking a compromise between the prosecution and defense. The ruling came 10 days after she vacated her Feb. 8 ruling that Bauer should be transferred, citing case law from Cobb v. Aytch on transfers of inmates that was discussed during the Feb. 8 hearing.

After the state made a last-minute motion Feb. 8 to transfer Bauer, she “should have done a better job of taking the time to read [the case] before I ruled,” Erickson said.
 
One of two men charged in a post-Christmas 2018 triple murder is expected to proceed to a six-week trial beginning Nov. 30.

Lawyer Lane Wolfley, representing Ryan Warren Ward, 38, of Port Angeles, and Michele Devlin, Clallam County chief criminal deputy prosecuting attorney, told Superior Court Judge Lauren Erickson on Friday they had agreed to keep the trial date. A status hearing was set for Sept. 25.

Ryan Warren Ward has been sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for a triple homicide east of Port Angeles.

Bauer is scheduled for a six- to eight-week trial on the triple murder that was to start on Jan. 4. He is being held in the Clallam County jail on $3.5 million bail.
 
Triple murder trial postponed | Peninsula Daily News

Dennis Marvin Bauer’s triple murder trial will be postponed a second time because of COVID-19 precautions, a Clallam County Superior Court judge has ruled.

Superior Court Judge Brent Basden extended an emergency order Thursday suspending all criminal jury trials through March 29 and all civil jury trials through May 17.

Bauer’s six-week trial was scheduled to begin March 22.

“The court finds that the serious danger posed by COVID-19 is good cause to continue criminal trials, and constitutes an unavoidable circumstance,” Basden said in the order.

Witnesses in the Bauer trial will be under subpoena for seven weeks after March 22.
