In April 2012 41 year old Lynnette Keller and her 18 year old daughter Kaylene were shot and killed by husband and father Peter Keller in East Seattle. After killing his family Peter set fire to the house and then absconded to an underground bunker he had spent years building in the nearby mountains. A proclaimed survivalist Keller wanted to live without the burden of his wife and daughter and took his own life when police found his bunker days later. 

This is the story of the Keller Family.
