Brothers Tony Clyde and John Blaine Reed are wanted by Snohomish Sherriff's office in connection with the disappearence and murder of Patrick Shunn and Monique Patenaude of Arlington, Washington, USA. Snohomish County detectives are now asking for help in locating the two brothers who are considered armed and extremely dangerous.Both men are convicted felons.

Shunn, 45 and Patenaude, 46 disappeared sometime Monday afternoon near their house in Arlington, Washington. Patenaude was last seen near there home in Arlington, Washington about 40 miles north of Seattle while Shunn has not been seen since he left for work in Kirkland the same day, as reported by Reuters.

The U.S. couple was reported missing by neighbors and family members the following Tuesday, April 12. This is after they failed to show up for an Iron Maiden concert in Tacoma, Washington and neighbors had noticed their puppy was loose from their yard. The couple had only been married for four years and had met at the Burning Man Festival a few years prior, KOMO News wrote. 

According to Daily Mail, detectives were able to trace a surveillance footage tying the Reed brothers to the disposal of the cars. Detectives now suggest that the couple may have been victims of homicide violence due to evidence collected at both cars and at the couple's home in Arlington. It is believed that Shunn and Patenaude were involved in a property dispute between Tony and John.

Both Shunn and Patenaude's vehicles, reportedly a 2000 tan Land Rover Discovery and a 1995 black jeep were recovered with the aid of a search and rescue helicopter. The couple's cars were found in a large, wooded area north of the victims' home in a rural area outside Oso, Washington. Both cars appear to have gone over an embankment. The couple was nowhere to be found near the area where the cars were recovered.
