Jenner Homicide Investigation-Third Anniversary

Friday, August 17, 2007 at 12:43, PM

This week marks the third anniversary of the murder of Jason Allen and Lindsay Cutshall. The bodies of 22-year-old Lindsay Cutshall and 26-year-old Jason Allen were located on a beach just north of Jenner, California on August 18th, 2004. Cutshall and Allen each died of gunshot wounds to the head. The weapon used in this crime was a .45 caliber Marlin rifle, a semi-automatic or lever action. This weapon has not been recovered.

Both Lindsay Cutshall and Jason Allen were Christian missionaries, who had been working at a Christian Camp in El Dorado County. They were due to be married in September, 2004.

On Monday, August 16, 2004, a missing persons report was filed with the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department when the couple failed to return from a weekend trip. Their bodies were discovered two days later on Fishhead Beach, near Jenner.

The investigation into this murder has been far reaching and non-stop for the past three years. We have interviewed hundreds of people and collected boxes of evidence. Although we have no new information to release regarding the facts of the case, we would like to update the public on the status of the investigation.

During the past year we created a “Task Force” that worked this investigation for several months. This “Task Force” consisted of one detective assigned full time to this case and in excess of twenty detectives working at his direction. This effort produced valuable information and moved us forward in the investigation. We currently have several detectives working various aspects of the case. Despite our efforts, the case remains unsolved.

Governor Schwarzenegger’s Office has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this crime. To this day we still are receiving tips from the community and we greatly appreciate these tips. We encourage anyone with any information that may be related to this case to contact the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department Investigations Division at 565-2185.

This was a sad and tragic crime that occurred in our community. We will continue to investigate this crime until we bring the responsible person(s) to justice.

For questions regarding this press release, please contact Lt. Robert Giordano at 565-2185.
