I saw a couple questions that I am not sure have been answered, so I wanted to post what I have heard from my local media.
Grigsby and Pederson took the bus up to Washington to visit Pederson's dad.
As Pederson Senior drove them back to the bus, Pederson was in the back seat, shot his father in the back of the head while Grigsby took the steering wheel and guided the jeep to a stop.
They drove the jeep (with deceased Pederson Sr. still in it) back to the house, killed Pederson's stepmother, and then drove
the stepmother's car and the jeep away. (I was mixing things up. A neighbor said that the SM's car was missing. Grigsby and Pederson drove the father's jeep away, that was the only car they took. "
Pedersen and Grigsby left the state in the Jeep that still held Pedersen's father and drove to Oregon, according to Grigsby." from

They left the jeep and Pederson Senior's body in the location it was found, when they crossed paths with Cody Myers.
After murdering Cody and taking his car, and abandoning the stepmother's car, they went south to California.
Questions I have, if anyone knows:
Where did they abandon the stepmother's car? Has it been found?
WHY did they end up in Eureka? HWY 101 goes through Eureka, but Winco is off the beaten path. How did they end up there? There is a large cage fighting community here---along with a population of white supremacists and a lot of meth and heroin addicts. Is any of that what drew them here? HWY 101 is not an easy drive. Most interstate drivers stay on I-5 if possible. Their car was found on I-5. All I can think is they came down 101 from Newport, and then went over HWY 299 to Redding, and then south on I-5 to where their car was stopped by Ca. police/hwy patrol.
