#Missing Jerry A. Graves, 69, last seen Dec. 28, Asotin County, ID.

1/8/19
The search for a missing Clarkston man continues.

No sign of Jerry A. Graves, 69, has surfaced since he was last seen Dec. 28, according to a news release issued Monday by the Asotin County Sheriff’s Office.

Graves, who has signs of dementia, reportedly was upset over the prospect of having to move into a nursing home and threatened to “just leave,” but did not give any specific information about where he would go, according to Asotin County Detective Jackie Nichols.

He was often seen wearing blue jeans and a dark coat, walking and hitchhiking along U.S. Highway 12 between Clarkston and his home at Wilson Banner Ranch, west of town. Graves is listed as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 125 pounds.

The missing man reportedly left behind his cellphone, money and all of his belongings. He was known to hike around the hills near his home, but a recent stroke and broken leg have seriously affected his mobility, Nichols said.

The Asotin County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Posse has scoured both sides of the highway between the county line to the city limits, on foot, with a dog team and with a drone, Nichols said. In addition, Wilson Banner Ranch employees have searched the area extensively.

Anyone with information about Graves’ whereabouts can contact the Asotin County Sheriff’s Office 24-hour dispatch line at (509) 758-2331.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSET) -- President Trump has sign a new bill into law to keep your family members safe.

The president signed the Ashanti Alert Act, which is legislation that creates a new federal alert system for missing or endangered adults between the ages of 18 and 64.

The law is named after Ashanti Bille, the 19-year-old was abducted in Norfolk in 2017.

Her body was discovered in North Carolina 11 days after she was reported missing.

When Ashanti was abducted, she was too old for an Amber Alert and too young for a Silver Alert.

The Ashanti Alert, like the other alert systems, would notify the public about missing or endangered adults through a national communications network to assist law enforcement in the search.

Our condolences to the loved-ones of 52-year-old Timothy Rose of Nampa, reported missing earlier this month.

12/21/18
CALDWELL, Idaho — The Canyon County coroner has identified a man’s body found near a Nampa canal Wednesday morning.

The deceased man is 52-year-old Timothy Rose of Nampa. He had been reported missing earlier this month.

An autopsy was performed Friday morning at the Canyon County Coroner’s Office. The official cause of death has not been determined. It could take several weeks before toxicology results are received. At this time, Rose’s death does not appear to be suspicious.

It’s also unclear how long the body has been there. It was found next to the canal at the north end of Kohlerlawn Cemetery on 6th Street North. Someone in the area found the body and reported it to police. The body was located in a possible sinkhole.

This case remains under investigation.

Detectives say they always treat these types of incidents as a homicide until all the evidence is gathered and the facts are sorted out.

Anyone with any information about this case is urged to call Nampa Police Sgt. Brian Jones at 208-475-5714 or Crime Stoppers at 208-343-COPS.

#StillMissing Randy French, 54, crashed his truck into the Salmon River north of Riggins. 6/30/17.

11/17/18
Randy French’s family held out hope for almost a year and a half that he would be found.

Authorities believe the 54-year-old, who worked at the Idaho Tax Commission in Boise, crashed his truck into the Salmon River north of Riggins on June 30 last year.

But after countless hours of searching along the banks of the river in Idaho County and several dive team attempts to find him in the water, they have decided its time to hold the memorial service that they put off in the hopes of finding his body.

“Apparently, it’s not gonna happen,” said one of French’s two older sister’s, Sherry. “We did a dive in August. Were told by the U.S. Swift Water Recovery Team that it was just too dangerous to carry on any kind of search in the river, and they wouldn’t be coming back.”

Friends of French are invited to share memories at a gathering at noon Saturday at the Firehouse Pub, 1767 Franklin Road in Meridian.

“We all have lots of stories because my brother was a character. We hope to tell some stories and just say goodbye,” Sherry French said. “It’s kind of a farewell or goodbye.”

Though French and his truck were never found, pieces of his truck and some of personal items were found in and along the river, including: a license plate, his CPAP machine, his gun, the skin of one of the truck doors and a piece of one of the mirrors.

“We found the part of the mirror that says ‘objects are closer than they appear’ but just the ‘closer’ part,” Sherry French said. Her daughter is putting it on a necklace for her.

The private search for French was extensive, costing between $20,000 and $30,000, Sherry French estimated. The Minnesota-based Jon Francis Foundation provided financial assistance and resources, bringing in search teams, cadaver dogs and a professional swift water dive team.

The foundation was established by David Francis, the father of 24-year-old Minnesotan Jon Francis, who died while hiking in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains. David Francis was personally involved in the search for Randy French, traveling to Idaho to participate.

“I don’t think we could have done it without him,” Sherry French said. “To see him out there at the side of the river, just staring at it all day long. He was so personally involved. He wanted to find him as bad as my family did.”

Idaho rivers can be unforgiving. Four young hunters went missing in the Selway River in Idaho County during an early-morning crash May 21. Remains of two of the hunters were found within a few weeks but the other two, brothers Raymond P. Ferrieri, 24, and Jesse A. Ferrieri, 21, both of Mahapac Falls, New York, have not been found.

Our condolences to the loved-ones of Richard “Bub” Poulton, 66, reported missing on Oct. 21.

11/9/18
BURLEY — The body of a missing Oakley man was found Thursday morning near the edge of the Snake River.

Richard “Bub” Poulton, 66, was reported missing on Oct. 21 by his family.

He was found a short distance east of Milner Dam in Twin Falls County by Cassia County Sheriff deputies, according to a press release issued by the Cassia County Sheriff’s Office.

Undersheriff George Warrell said the body was released to the Cassia County Coroner for autopsy, in hope of discovering how long Poulton had been dead.

The Cassia County Sheriff’s Office was looking for Poulton by helicopter when his body was discovered.

“We were looking specifically for him,” Warrell said. “We wanted to give it one last try by helicopter.”

According to the Cassia County Sheriff’s Office, Poulton was last seen by deputies on Saturday, Oct. 20, in the evening. The following morning, his 2011 Ford F-150 pickup was found stuck in a beet field at 700 W. Milner Road.

The vehicle was reported as abandoned by a neighbor of the field in the Milner Recreation Area.

When Poulton’s pickup was found, it appeared to be high-centered and it was in drive with the engine running. The door was also open.

Search and rescue crews searched for Poulton for nine hours on Oct. 23 by air and land, but he was not found.

Before his body was found Thursday, the sheriff’s office announced Poulton’s family and Crime Stoppers were offering a $5,000 reward for information.

The sheriff’s office offered its condolences to the family and thanked search crews who helped, including the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office, which helped with recovering the body.

#StillMissing Connie Johnson, 76, Grangeville, ID. 10/2/18.

10/25/18
GRANGEVILLE
The dog belonging to a 76-year-old Nezperce woman who was last seen at her hunting camp Oct. 2 reportedly turned up at the Moose Creek Ranger Station late Wednesday.

Ace, the border collie who belongs to Connie Johnson, was discovered about 15 miles from the hunting camp where Johnson was last seen in the Fog Mountain area near Big Rock in the Selway River district.

Idaho County Sheriff Doug Giddings confirmed early today that Ace showed up at a camp where private searchers who had been hired by the Johnson’s family were located.

“They didn’t find the dog; the dog found them,” Giddings said.

Ace was taken to Montana with the searchers, Giddings said, but he was not certain whether the dog might be returned and used to help lead searchers to where Johnson might be.

“There’s a possibility that if we would take the dog back in there he might lead us to where she was,” the sheriff said. “But that’s the only possibility there is. We’ve searched everywhere; we believe she’s in there, we just don’t know where. It’s possible the dog might go back to where she is.”

Johnson, who was working as a camp cook for Richie Outfitters of Salmon, Idaho, had radio contact Oct. 2 with the hunters who had left the camp a day earlier. They were unable to understand her message, according to Giddings.

When the hunters returned Oct. 5 to the camp, which is accessible only by horseback or on foot, Johnson and her dog were not there.

An intense search began involving aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, the Idaho National Guard, the Clearwater County Backcountry Helicopter Rescue team, along with several teams of tracking dogs and searchers on foot.

No trace of Johnson or her dog could be found and the search virtually ended Oct. 16, Giddings said.

It is unclear whether it will resume now that Ace reportedly has been found.

No further information was immediately available.

On the same date that Johnson and her dog went missing, a Maryland filmmaker was also reported missing in the same area. Terrence Woods, 27, was filming a documentary near Penman Mine when he got separated from his film crew.

Idaho County Sheriff’s Office announced a week later that it was calling off the search for Woods, EastIdahoNews.com reported.

Sheriff Doug Giddings wasn’t immediately available by phone Thursday morning to comment on whether the searches for Woods or Johnson would resume.

Missing Richard “Bub” Poulton, 66, Burley, ID. 10/21/18.

10/24/18
BURLEY — An Oakley man is still missing after a nine-hour search of the area where his abandoned truck was found Sunday in a beet field near the Milner Recreation Area.

Cassia County Undersheriff George Warrell said they are looking for Richard “Bub” Poulton, 66. He is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 160 to 170 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.

Poulton is off medication and may appear disoriented. The sheriff’s office does not have a description of his clothing.

Warrell said Poulton's 2011 Ford F-150 pickup was found stuck in a beet field at 700 N. Milner Road. A neighbor reported it to the sheriff’s office as abandoned and pulled it out of the mud.

“It appeared to be high-centered and it was in drive and the engine was running. The door had also been left open,” Warrell said.

The sheriff’s office, Mini-Cassia Search and Rescue and Civil Air Patrol searched for Poulton on Tuesday after family members reported him missing.

There are two homes about 100 yards from where his pickup was found and in the other direction there is a home a quarter mile away, Warrell said

Search teams were called out at 10 a.m. and searched tree and fence lines, and went door to door in the area. Planes were used to search the ground by air.

“We were unable to locate him,” Warrell said. “Right now we have suspended the search in the area.”

#StillMissing Connie Johnson, 76, Grangeville, ID. 10/2/18.

10/17/18
GRANGEVILLE - Officials have called off the search for a 76-year-old woman missing from a north-central Idaho hunting camp.

Idaho County Sheriff Doug Giddings tells The Lewiston Tribune that the search that started Oct. 5th for Connie Johnson ended Tuesday. Aircraft and teams with tracking dogs took part in the search.

The Nezperce resident was working as the cook at the hunting camp accessible only by horseback in the Fog Mountain area. She had her pet border collie, Ace, with her.

Hunters left the camp Oct. 2nd. When they returned three days later, Johnson was gone. Giddings says the hunters had radio contact with Johnson on Oct. 3rd, but couldn't understand what she was saying.

Giddings says the possibility of foul play is unlikely.

#StillMissing Terrence Woods, 27, Idaho County, ID. 10/5/18.

10/13/18
The following is a news release from Idaho County Sheriff’s Office.

GRANGEVILLE – A search for a missing Maryland filmmaker in Idaho County was called off Thursday after seven days of search efforts.

On October 5 at 6:41 p.m., the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a missing person. Terrence Woods, 27, of Maryland, had become separated from his party, a film crew from London doing a documentary on the Penman Mines. Due to the late hour of the report, searching did not commence until Saturday, October 6th.

Two Bear Air was contacted and they were out of service for maintenance and unable to fly. Three dog teams from Clearwater County, ground searchers (both on foot and ATVs), and personnel from the US Forest Service arrived on Saturday and began searching with Deputy Stan Denham. Clearwater County Back Country Rescue Helicopter also did an aerial search of the area. Fish and Game canvased the area and stayed later into the night checking with hunters and continuing to search. Mr. Woods was not located.

On Sunday, Deputy Denham, ground searchers, U.S. Forest service and Fish and Game personnel, and the dog teams resumed searching. Back Country Rescue Helicopter also resumed searching using Forward Looking Infrared to attempt to locate Mr. Woods. Rain hampered tracking efforts.

On Monday, in addition to the searchers previously listed, a UH1 helicopter from Fairchild Air Force Base responded to do more aerial searches.

Searches continued on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with the same search teams and air support. Weather did play a factor and helicopters were unable to fly on Tuesday. They resumed air searches on Wednesday, as the weather permitted flying.

The decision to cut back the active search was made Thursday afternoon. No leads were obtained from the previous seven days of searching, and no signs of Mr. Woods have been located in the search area or the expanded search area.

The Idaho County Sheriff’s Office will continue to monitor the area and investigate leads.

#StillMissing Stephanie Crane, then 9, Since Oct. 11, 1993, Challis Lanes Bowling Alley in Challis, ID.

10/13/18
The mother of a 9-year-old girl walked into the Custer County Sheriff’s Office near Challis in the central Idaho mountains on Oct. 11, 1993, to report that her daughter was missing.

On Thursday, the 25th anniversary of the date Stephanie Crane vanished, the Custer County Sheriff’s Office is once again asking the public for any leads in the girl’s mysterious disappearance, according to a Thursday press release issued by the Custer County Sheriff’s Office.

The last time Crane was seen was approximately 6 p.m. on Oct. 11, 1993, on U.S. Highway 93 near the Challis Lanes Bowling Alley in Challis.

Some believe that she was headed to the Challis High School to watch soccer practice, according to the Custer County Sheriff’s Office. Others believe she was headed to her home.

“Regardless of which way she was headed, she never made it to either destination,” the agency wrote.

The Custer County Sheriff’s Office said it is working closely with the FBI, the Idaho State Police, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and other agencies on Crane’s case.

“Her case is still open and will remain open until she is found,” the agency wrote.

Crane had just celebrated her ninth birthday on Sept. 28, 1993. This year she would be 34-years-old.

Immediately after Crane was reported missing, a search was launched on Oct. 11, 1993, by the Custer County Sheriff’s Office. The search team included Custer County sheriff’s deputies, Custer County Search and Rescue and the Challis Volunteer Fire Department.

The search was suspended at approximately 12:30 a.m. Oct. 12 and plans were made to resume the search at 7 a.m. Oct. 12.

Approximately 300 people searched for Crane on Oct. 12, 1993, and even with the help from a team of tracking dogs, Crane was never located. Boat crews that checked the river from Challis to Salmon were also unable to turn up any sign of the missing girl.

In 1993, Crane’s case was featured on America’s Most Wanted, the television show Front Page and was also reported on by CNN.

On April 22, 2018, Crane’s case was featured on the show “Disappeared,” an American documentary television program on the Investigation Discovery Channel that contains re-enactments and interviews with law enforcement officers, investigators and relatives connected with cases in which individuals have gone missing.

After Crane’s case aired on “Disappeared” the Custer County Sheriff’s Office received some leads to check into, but the new information turned up nothing.

“Every lead that gets called into the Sheriff’s Office gets checked into,” the agency wrote.

When Crane disappeared, she was 4-feet, 2-inches tall and weighed approximately 65 to 85 pounds, according to the Custer County Sheriff’s Office. When she went missing, she was wearing a maroon and white hooded sweatshirt that had the word “GIMMIE” imprinted across the front. She was also wearing maroon sweatpants and maroon and white tennis shoes.

Crane is described by police as having brown hair and blue eyes. Her face is freckled and she has a space between her two upper front teeth. She also has a cowlick on the right side of her hairline and a scar near her right eye.

The Custer County Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone who believes they have information that would assist in locating Crane to call the office at 208-879-2232 or the sheriff’s tip line at 208-879-5372 to leave a message. The sheriff’s office also said people can leave a comment on Custer County Sheriff Stuart “Stu” Lumpkin’s Facebook page or send an email to stephaniecranetips@gmail.com.

Furthermore, anyone with information can also call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-842-5678.

“Please, if you have any information that you think may help locate Crane, do not hesitate to use one of the ways listed to contact the Custer County Sheriff’s Office,” the agency wrote. “In hopes of bringing a resolution to Crane’s case, there is a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction for the person responsible for Crane’s disappearance.”

#Missing Terrence Woods, 27, Idaho County, ID. 10/5/18

10/12/18
Search and rescue crews have been searching for 27-year-old Terrence Woods from the ground and sky every day since Saturday. Terrence Woods' parents were in the area as well, trying to dig for as much information as possible.

When Terrence and Valerie Woods received the call that their son went missing, they got on a plane and flew across the country from Maryland. They spoke with both the sheriff's office and the production crew, and they believe something was off from the beginning.

"Terrence was supposed to be working with this crew up until the middle of November. He had texted me and his dad apparently a couple days before he went missing and said that he would be coming home. He would be cutting the trip short and he would be coming home," says Valerie Woods, Terrence’s mother.

Terrence was reported missing around 5:30 in the evening October 5th. The 27-year-old was a production assistant, helping film a documentary on Penman Mine for a British TV show called Whitewater.

"He's been all over and he came home. He's been to Morocco and he came home. He has never once cut any of his trips short in the history of his travelling," says Valerie Woods.

His parents says there's only one reason Terrence would run off in the woods and not come home.

"He's scared, someone was bullying him. He was fearful. There was something going wrong and he felt he couldn't deal with it, and he wanted to leave. He couldn't feel safe."

Both of Terrence's parents sat down with Idaho County sheriff's office officials, as well as the production crew who last saw their son. The production crew told Terrence's father what they allegedly saw happen at the scene.

"They thought he fell off a cliff, but by the time he got over there, my son was 15 feet down the cliff, running like a hare. So I said what do you mean running like a hare? He said he run so fast I ain't never seen nobody run that fast," says Terrence Woods Sr.

It's been close to a week now, and authorities are still searching, and Terrence and Valerie aren't giving up hope that their son will be found.

"You can't get lost out there because if you get lost out there, you're going to run into a road or houses. So he didn't just poof, vanish and disappear. No, he made it to that road, someone picked him up."

It's been a rough week for the Woods family. They say they’re just trying to stay strong.

"It's one thing when you get a phone call, your son had an accident. You have to deal with that, but at least your son's going home with you. It's another thing [when] your child is quote unquote missing."

Valerie and Terrence woods say the Idaho County Sheriff's Office is doing everything they can to try to find Terrence in the back country.
