Friday, May 2, 2025 - A man named his alleged k!ller in a Facebook post just a day before he was found de@d in a remote area.
The bodies of Sean Pfeffer, 45, (pictured above) and Colter White, 53, were discovered in the back of an abandoned pickup truck in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California on April 24. Both men were found to have been tied up with rope and shot.
On Monday, April 28, officers from California Highway Patrol announced that James David Collier, a 66-year-old from the small town of Boulder Creek, had been arrested "without incident" over the weekend, and is being held at Santa Clara County Jail on two charges of murder.
Now, a final social media post by Sean Pfeffer written the day before he died has emerged.
In it, Mr Pfeffer, who worked as a mechanic in Boulder
Creek, claimed that he had invited a man named James Collier to the area - but
suggested he had since become a problem and had begun pressuring his
cousin.
He wrote: "If today isn't work out know that it was
James Collier the piece of crap that I invited to this mountain that still
hasn't left it and is working the f*** out of my f****** cousin,' he
said.
"I'm rolling down there right now Jimmy, I hope you shoot me."
On the following day, March 23, highway patrol officers
responded to reports of two bodies in the area, and found them underneath a
1988 Harley Davidson motorbike, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Court documents alleged the motorcycle had been taken to the
scene by tractor.
Detectives and crime scene investigators from the Santa
Clara County Sheriff’s Office were also at the scene, and a coroner's report
issued three days later officially classified the incident as a double
homicide.
It found Mr Pfeffer was k!lled by a "gunshot wound of
the left chest" while Mr White was k!lled by "gunshot wounds" to
his "torso and left upper and lower extremities."
Police have not stated what they believe to be the motive
for the k!lling, though local reports said it could have centred around
Collier's refusal to leave a property that was being put up for sale.
On April 9, a swat team and detectives raided Collier's home, using the
evidence to arrest him for double homicide on Sunday.
California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division Chief Don
Goodbrand said in a statement: "I want to commend our detectives for their
incredible dedication and exceptional investigative efforts in bringing a
suspect into custody in this tragic case.
"The successful outcome would not have been possible
without the outstanding partnership of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.
"We are grateful for their collaboration and unwavering commitment to
justice."
