Dylon R. Peterson of Vancouver has 42 years left on his 57-year sentence for the murders of Mathew Nagle, 15, and his 45-year-old mother, Sandra Torrell.

In the duplex Mathew Nagle occupied with his father, police discovered Torell and her son, Mathew Nagle, stabbed to death. Matthew’s father Eric Nagle was out on business, and Torell, his ex-wife, was visiting her sons for the weekend.

Dylan R. Peterson pled guilty to two charges of first-degree murder and consented to a jail sentence of more than 57 years in April 2007. In exchange, Deputy Prosecutor Tony Golik decided not to file aggravated murder charges or seek the death penalty against Peterson. 

‘Called 911’ Is Dylon Peterson Still In Jail? Vancouver Washington Man Family Murder

Dylon R. Peterson of Vancouver is still in jail after being sentenced to 57 years in prison for the murders of 15-year-old Mathew Nagle and his 45-year-old mother, Sandra Torrell.

Their deaths were discovered inside a duplex at 2901 K Street in Vancouver on January 7, after Peterson called 911 and claimed he had stabbed two individuals.

On the 911 tape, he is heard telling a dispatcher, “I made sure they were dead before I called.”

Peterson resided with Nagle and stabbed him in the neck while Nagle was sleeping. Peterson also fatally stabbed Torrell, who did not live there but was staying the night.

On April 30, Peterson pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder.

Peterson did not speak during his sentence, leaving the victims’ families with unanswered concerns about why he did it. Even the prosecutor wasn’t sure what motivated Peterson to stab mother and son. 

Police claimed he was inebriated on the night of the murders, but his defense attorney informed the court that it was not being offered as a justification.

Dylon R Peterson Stabbed Mother And Son 

Dylon R Peterson stabbed a mother and son to death on January 7 and was arrested for first-degree murder after reporting the incident. 

After the 25-year-old made the 911 call, officers discovered the bodies of a 45-year-old lady and her 15-year-old son in a yellow duplex in the Rose Village neighborhood.

Peterson was also present at the incident and was detained after being questioned by authorities. 

He claimed to have known the mother and son but said they were no one to him on the 911 call. The motivation for the homicide is still unknown.

On the 911 tape from the day of the murders, Peterson simply told the dispatcher that he was born to kill.

A few days ago, he had been detained and charged with cocaine possession. However, Peterson pled not guilty in that case and was scheduled to appear in court later in January.
