Overview

• The bodies of Sean Pfeffer, 45, and Colter White, 53, were found on March 24 in the bed of an abandoned pickup truck along Highway 35 in the Santa Cruz Mountains, both shot to death.
• James David Collier, identified as the suspect on April 6, was arrested without incident on April 27 at his home in Boulder Creek and is being held without bail in the Santa Clara County Jail.
• Investigators were led to Collier in part by a Facebook post Pfeffer made on March 23, naming Collier as a potential threat before his death.
• Law enforcement agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, and District Attorney’s Office, collaborated to secure evidence and execute the arrest.
• Collier is scheduled for arraignment, but authorities have not yet disclosed a motive or clarified his relationship to the victims as the investigation continues.
