Humboldt County Sheriff's Office still searching for suspects in Willow Creek homicide; memorial service for Darrell Hanger Sr. set for this Saturday

Humboldt County Sheriff's Office still searching for suspects in Willow Creek homicide; memorial service for Darrell Hanger Sr. set for this Saturday
While the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office continues its investigation into a shooting that killed a Willow Creek man last week, the community he served is preparing to honor his life.
What detectives believe was initially going to be the second burglary of a home on the 400 block of Sunset Place took a violent turn last Thursday morning when four people, all armed, came to the house and were met by Darrell Hanger Sr. and his son, Darrell Hanger Jr., both of whom were also armed....

...the extent of the burglary didn't end there, said Willow Creek Community Services District Manager Steve Paine, who saw both Hanger and his son just days before the shooting.

Paine said that the people who came to rob the home were “totally different” than the teenagers that both Hanger Sr. and his son were expecting to find when they decided to spend the night at the house last Wednesday.

”No one had any idea that this was the group that had performed the home invasion,” Paine said, referring to the Weitchpec case. “Obviously, had Darrell or his son known the type of criminal they were dealing with, they would have known their lives were in danger.”

There is a lot of information missing in this story. What type? What is known? If it is known, why are they still operating?
