PORT ANGELES – Authorities have made an arrest in connection with the triple murder that happened southeast of Port Angeles late last year.

Law enforcement arrested 50-year-old Dennis Bauer after serving a search warrant at a property in the 2500 block of Lower Elwha Road this morning.

He was booked into the Clallam County jail on three charges of second-degree murder.

Clallam County sheriff Bill Benedict tells KONP he has no comment at this point other than one person has been taken into custody. He says there is a lot more investigation that needs to happen in the case.

The arrest came in connection with the murder of three people, whose bodies were discovered at the turn of the New Year.

The bodies of 57-year-old Darrell Iverson and his 27-year-old son, Jordan Iverson, were found beneath tarps and other debris in the yard of their home at 52 Bear Meadow Road off Deer Park Road New Year’s Eve afternoon.

While processing the scene, authorities found the body of 26-year-old Tiffany A. May locked in a nearby shed. May was Jordan Iverson’s girlfriend who reportedly had been living at the house. All three victims suffered gunshot wounds.
