Two men in Wyoming are facing charges in connection to the death of a 23-year-old man whom the suspects accused of being a pedophile.

Rowan Henry Littauer, 19, stands accused of first-degree murder and mutilation of a dead body. Orion Schlesinger, 18, is facing charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and theft. They are accused of killing 23-year-old Dakota Farley.

A probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by Law&Crime states the investigation began on Feb. 5 when the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office received text messages into dispatch that said “Rowan (19) shot Dakota with a bow and 2 arrows” and “one less pedifile (sic) now.” Cops noted that the Sheriff’s Office is “without verified information” that Farley engaged in any illicit behavior with minors. The affidavit does not reveal why the suspects thought Farley was a pedophile.

Detectives met with Littauer who allegedly told them he “shot a man with a bow and two arrows” in the arm and head. Littauer used the map application on his phone to show the location of Farley’s home where he allegedly killed him. He also said Schlesinger was with him when the killing occurred.

Cops went to the home in Pinedale, a mountain town some 350 miles northwest of Cheyenne, and found Farley’s body lying face down on the living room carpet. Detectives saw dried blood under and around Farley’s head. They also observed eight “circular shaped wounds” with BBs lodged inside in the left side of Farley’s head. Since there was no blood in the wounds, investigators determined that Farley was shot with the BB gun after he was dead.

Further investigation revealed that pals Littauer and Schlesinger concocted a plan in the evening hours of Feb. 1 to go to Farley’s home “with the express purpose of ending his life.” Littauer allegedly said he gathered a “compound bow, broadhead tipped arrows, and a BB gun” at his house after Schlesinger came over. The pair then walked over a mile to Farley’s house and went inside where the victim was standing in the living room, according to the affidavit. Cops did not say in the affidavit whether Farley knew the suspects prior to the incident.
