Trooper dispatch reports that 30-year-old Wasilla resident Joshua Beebe has been indicted by a Palmer Grand Jury on charges of Murder I, Murder II x3, Robbery I and Misconduct Involving Weapons III in connection with the death of 23-year-old Christopher Seaman, who was found dead of suspicious circumstances on June 23rd of this year.

It was also reported that Beebe was also indicted on charges of Assault I, Robbery I and Misconduct Involving Weapons III in connection with another shooting outside Palmer that left 28-year-old Joshua Jensen in critical condition in June 17th. Robert D. Casello is a co-defendant in that case.

Seaman was discovered dead in his silver Honda near the fireworks stand in Houston. “AST located a deceased adult male inside the vehicle and based on the scene the death appeared suspicious,” troopers wrote via the dispatch, adding, that the  “Investigation is ongoing.” Troopers notified Seaman’s mother of his death at 2:30 am  the next morning.

U.S. Marshals apprehended Beebe on July 15th after he removed his ankle monitor 20 minutes after he was released on June 25th. Beebe had been released with the monitor in a Felony Theft case that was initiated on January 6th of this year. After failing to appear at his May 11 pre-trial hearing, a $5,000 warrant was issued for his arrest, he was arrested again on June 23. By June 25th, Beebe was released again, this time with an ankle monitor. He wore that ankle monitor for mere minutes after his release.

Beebe has an extensive criminal history that includes fleeing  as well as two previous escapes.

Beebe had also attempted to hide at another person’s residence in January of 2014 to keep from being picked up on a previous parole warrant when troopers visited that residence, known to be a dwelling that he frequented. Four people at the residence told troopers that they had not seen Beebe and did not know his whereabouts. A search of the residence would find him hiding under the sink in the residence’s kitchen.

Beebe is due in court on Monday to face the charges. He s being held at the Goose Creek Correctional Center.
