Bremerton man, inspired by cousin s high-profile murder, finding success with musical career
BREMERTON Four years ago, as Payton Schindler prepared to leave Bremerton for Las Vegas to begin his music career, he was awoken in the middle of the night with the news that his cousin was missing.
It was Jan. 27, 2017, and Schindler’s cousin, Hunter Schaap, had been found dead in a home in Seabeck along with two others Christale Lynn Careaga, 37, and Johnathon F. Higgins, 16.
The three were members of a blended family that also included Johnny Careaga, 43, who was found dead two days later in a burned-out truck off a remote road in Mason County. The killings remain one of the highest-profile unsolved murder cases in Kitsap County history.
