Dalton Carlson remains in a Sonoma County jail cell this morning. He’s now charged with killing his father and his estranged wife over the weekend in Santa Rosa. The two bodies were found in separate residences, and Sgt. Josh Ludtke says the trauma was so extensive that the coroner can’t pin down the cause of death at this time. Carlson’s wife Jessica had taken out a restraining order against him one week earlier. Dalton Carlson was arrested on a drug charge outside her home on Friday, but they did not search the home at that time. Jessica’s body was in the kitchen. Press Democrat reports that the question for law enforcement is: could she have been saved if they had entered the home?
