Who was Daniel McCaw ?

Two 16-year-olds face murder and robbery charges as newly obtained court documents connect the highly publicized “disappearance” of one of the suspects to the murder of a 51-year-old Pierce County man.

That disappearance was a sham, according to investigators, who also say the teen, Gabriel Davies, was intimately familiar with the victim, Daniel McCaw: Detectives learned that McCaw had had a prior relationship with the Davies’ mother. As for the motive, the documents throw up another bombshell accusation: Davies claims it all started with a threat from members of an “outlaw motorcycle club.”


According to charging documents filed Tuesday by Pierce County prosecutors, around 9:30 a.m. m. on September 1, officers responded to a home near the corner of 190th St. E and 219th Ace. Connecticut. E. to do a wellness check. Deputies were told that Daniel McCaw had not shown up for work for four days.

When officers entered his home, they smelled what they thought was the odor of a decomposing body. Agents found an unlocked door in the laundry room and found McCaw dead with a gunshot wound.


Investigators initially said they thought the man might have killed himself, but there was no firearm nearby, so that couldn’t have been the case.

According to the medical examiner’s office, McCaw suffered a gunshot wound to the head and another to the torso. McCaw also had what appeared to be multiple stab wounds to his abdomen.

Detectives learned the victim had previously been in a relationship with the mother of Gabriel Davies, a Thurston County boy who had been reported missing on August 31.


Detectives discovered that Davies and a friend, Justin Jiwoon Yoon, had been camping with family and friends at Panther Lake in Mason County on August 27 and 28. Shortly after midnight on the 28th, the two left and did not return to the cabin. until 6:30 a.m., according to the documents. The pair left Panther Lake again at 11:45 a.m. and did not return.

Surveillance footage of the victim’s home

According to the documents, investigators obtained surveillance video from McCaw’s home, and it showed two “skinny young men” arriving at 1:59 a.m. m. Video showed the suspects crawling out the dog gate and into the house. The victim left her detached garage at 2:41 a.m. m. and “stumbled” on the residence.

At 2:47 a.m. m., a dog suddenly ran out the dog door, and a minute later, both suspects left the house through the side door.

“The suspects ran from one side of the garage to the other before fleeing at approximately 2:52 a.m. m.”, according to the documents. “Both suspects appeared to be carrying items, including a possible handgun.”

Both suspects were wearing gloves and appeared to be carrying something away from the scene,

Detectives said they used photos from the Department of Licensing and it appeared the two suspects were Davies and Yoon.

Agents obtained a search warrant for Davies and Yoon’s homes. Each was arrested at their homes around 8:00 p.m. September 2.

Detectives said Davies later showed them where he and Yoon disposed of two firearms they had stolen from the victim’s home. The weapons were found in a military-style ammunition can and were a match to two empty holsters found at the victim’s residence.

Approached by ‘biker friends’


According to court documents, earlier on September 2, Davies’ father contacted police and said “Gabe was involved in (the victim’s) death.”

“The father said the victim’s ‘biker friends’ approached his son to steal something from the victim’s residence. He further said they threatened his son with harm if he didn’t. Gabriel Davies confided in Justin Yoon , and the two developed a “plot” to steal the item from the safe. On Saturday night or Sunday morning, the two went to the victim’s house and sneaked in through the dog’s door. The father reported that his son knew where the victim was put the gun away and said that “when the victim entered the house, Justin ran after him and stabbed him,” later saying that “then Gabe heard a gunshot.” son told him that he went out to the garage to get the ‘item’ out of the safe when he heard a second shot. The father reported that his son told him that the firearm used in the incident was abandoned near his home.”
