Tiffany A. May, a 26-year-old resident of Port Angeles, Washington, tragically lost her life on December 26, 2018. Tiffany was one of three victims in a brutal triple homicide that also claimed the lives of Darrell C. Iverson, 57, and his son, Jordan D. Iverson, 27. Tiffany was Jordan Iverson's girlfriend, and all three were found shot multiple times outside Darrell Iverson's rural home.
The investigation into their deaths revealed a chilling plot involving multiple suspects.
Ryan Warren Ward, 39, was one of the key perpetrators. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to three counts of aggravated murder and 16 other counts related to the theft, sale, or illegal possession of firearms. Ward's involvement in the crime was significant, as he was responsible for the final shots that killed the Iversons. His co-defendants, Kallie LeTellier, 36, and Dennis Bauer, 52, were also implicated in the murders. LeTellier was sentenced to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder with a firearm enhancement for Tiffany May's death and agreeing to testify against her co-defendants.
The motive behind the murders was a plan to rob and kill the Iversons, with whom the suspects were acquainted. On the night of the murders, Bauer and LeTellier executed the plan, with Bauer shooting at Darrell Iverson and LeTellier gunning down Tiffany May as she tried to flee. Ward initially backed out of the plan but later rejoined, delivering the fatal shots to the wounded Iversons. The bodies of Darrell and Jordan Iverson were discovered on New Year's Eve by a relative, while Tiffany May's body was found later that day in a locked shed.
The case drew significant attention due to the brutality of the crime and the involvement of multiple suspects. The Clallam County Sheriff's Office conducted a thorough investigation, leading to the arrests and convictions of Ward, LeTellier, and Bauer. The community of Port Angeles was deeply affected by the tragedy, and the victims' families continue to mourn their loss.
