Three Bonner County residents have been charged with the murder of Michael Wyatt Smith, 19, (below) who was last seen walking along Peninsula Road in Hope, Idaho, at 11 p.m. Sept. 13, according to the Bonner County Sheriff's Office. Austin Thrasher, 19, (upper left) Thrasher's wife, Jennifer, 22, (middle) and Christopher Garlin, 19, (upper right) of the Cocalalla and Hope areas were arrested after several vehicles and firearms were seized by the authorities. The sheriff's department was tipped off to the possible murder of 
Smith on Jan. 6. His body has since been found in a shallow grave off Wellington Road in the Rapid Lightening area. Next of kin were notified in California last week. Allegedly the three suspects picked Smith up under the pretense of attending a party. Later, he was reportedly taken into a treed area near Cocalalla and shot twice. His body was transported for burial. Thrasher has been charged with first-degree murder; his wife and Garlin with accessory to murder. More here.

“Deliverance” in Idaho.
Apparently the incest statutes aren’t enforced very well up north.
Have you ever noticed that criminals look like the dirt bags that they are? I wouldn’t let any of those losers withing 30 feet of me without being highly alert and ready to defend myself.
But look at all of the mugshots of criminals. I just saw a pic of some clown who escaped from Geiger; he looks like a sleaze ball. Part of the budget cuts should be reducing the cost of incarceration to the cost of a lethal injection.
It’s just awful , can’t imagine what the hell they we’re thinking when those folks decided to off their buddy..did they plan to rob him? I just don’t get it
