A 17-year-old Olympia boy who seemed to vanish on his way to football practice last year, then reappeared the day his mother’s ex-boyfriend was found shot and stabbed to death, pleaded guilty Wednesday to murdering the man. Gabriel Davies and Justin Yoon pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Pierce County Superior Court. Charging papers alleged they broke into an Orting home in the middle of the night in August 2022 clad in dark clothing, stole firearms and knives and killed Daniel McCaw. McCaw was left dead in his laundry room for days, only to be discovered by law enforcement after he didn’t show up for work. The teens have remained in custody on $1 million bail since they were arrested last year and charged as adults. After their guilty pleas were entered Wednesday morning, Judge Thomas Quinlan ordered them held without bail until sentencing, set for Nov. 3. With no prior criminal history, the teens face a sentencing range of 10 years, three months to 18 years, four months in prison.
