Authorities on Friday surrounded an elaborate, underground bunker believed to be that of a gun-toting survivalist suspected of killing his wife and daughter nearly a week ago and then holing up in the woods of Washington state.
They pumped tear gas into the structure in the Cascade foothills east of Seattle and heard movement inside, but the dozens of officers were not entering the bunker because they believed its occupant was heavily armed, and that it might be booby-trapped.
Sheriff's officials said later Friday they weren't sure the gas penetrated deep enough to reach the person inside, who they believed was 41-year-old Peter Keller. They also believed the person inside likely has a gas mask.
As darkness fell Friday night, Seattle SWAT team officers arrived to relieve a King County SWAT contingent that had surrounded the bunker.
Photos of the bunker "don't do it justice," SWAT officers told sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West.
"They said the fort appears to be amazingly fortified," she said.
While officers got one main hatch open, they believe the bunker has multiple levels as well as multiple entrances, West said.

hmmm...he has lots of guns and works at a computer refurbishing store. Sounds like some members here

they should bring in geologist equipment, the kind that map with sonar.

just weld all the hatches shut and walk away

If you take a look at the photo, on the same page as the article, the door is wooden construction. Might be a bit hard to weld.

from the article:
SWAT teams went into the woods at 5 a.m. and could smell wood smoke from the wood stove in the bunker before they could see it, West said.

If possible, the first thing I'd do is stop up his stove pipe, the next time he lights a fire. Then he has to get the fire out quick, or start filling the place with smoke. Even if he has ventilation pipes, that should help them to locate those, and stop them up too. Gas masks are good at filtering out stuff like tear gas, but they do NOT help you to breathe in an oxygen deficient atmosphere, and they don't filter out smoke very well (thus, why fire fighters don't wear them into fires).

Doesn't much matter, as I foresee this ending with him eating a bullet. :\

Not me, FYI, I don't even have a bunker. :'(


Guy isn't in a very good position unless there's a REALLY clever escape hatch planned. Seems doubtful. He's just screwed one way or another. Hey, if he surrenders he'll get free food, housing, medical care the rest of his life. Not a bad deal.

Leave him in there. Its practically the same thing as prison. He cant hurt anyone right now. He cant leave without getting blasted. Eventually he'll run out of, SOMETHING, and need to exit. They can arrest him then.

Sorry, this is Amerika. He suspected of doing something. Not convicted, suspected. If he doesn't come out on his own, they will damn well kill him trying to get him out.

Put a nice, heavy concrete block over the entrance. Problem solved.:thumbsup:

Not quite so simple....

"Officers reported that photos of the bunker don't do it justice, sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said.

"They said the fort appears to be amazingly fortified," she said.

While officers got one main hatch open, they believe the bunker has multiple levels as well as multiple entrances, West said.

Keller has not been seen since a fire at his North Bend-area home Sunday led responders to discover the bodies of his wife and daughter. The two had been shot to death.

"It's a very extreme tactical situation," King County Sheriff Steve Strachan said. "Time is on our side. We're not going to do anything rash."

West said evidence found in Keller's home helped authorities locate the bunker, dug 20 feet into the side of a ridge in an area of dense vegetation, at noon Friday. Officers were able to pinpoint the location after enhancing a blurry photograph found on a hard drive in an open safe in Keller's house, she said. The photo included a view from the bunker in which buildings in nearby North Bend were visible, along with a set of power lines.

Detectives triangulated the rough area of the bunker and were confident they had the right location after receiving tips from people who had seen Keller's faded red pickup truck parked at the trailhead, West said.

Two experienced trackers were sent to the area and found tracks that appeared to have been made by someone carrying a heavy backpack.

SWAT teams went into the woods at 5 a.m. and could smell wood smoke from the wood stove in the bunker before they could see it, West said.

The bunker was found at about the 1,350-foot level, several hundred yards due east of a trailhead at Rattlesnake Ridge. It had several entryways and ladders.

"This isn't a hole in the ground. It's an elaborate structure," Strachan said."

He's alleged to have killed his wife and daughter. That makes him a hero in your eyes?
Oh-kay.

That's alleged.

Factually, he's an american hero for standing up to the thugs with guns we call the government!

Something he'll be killed for, no doubt.

"Kill your wife and kid and burn their bodies" = fair trial
"Own some guns and lock yourself in your own little world where you will hurt no one" = kill him!
You though I was serious? Oh-kay.

Wait.....they enhanced a blurry pic?
You haven't heard that this is real?
