Police have identified two men who were found dead in northern Idaho earlier this week amid a 36-hour manhunt for an escaped inmate and his alleged accomplice.
The bodies of James L. Mauney, 83, and Gerald “Don” Henderson, 72, were each found on Wednesday, more than a day after inmate Skylar Meade and Nicholas Umphenour allegedly ambushed police during a medical transport in Boise.
Investigators believe Meade and Umphenour may have been responsible for Mauney and Henderson's deaths.
Mauney’s body was found in a secluded area near Leland, more than 250 miles from Boise.
After fleeing police in a stolen Honda Civic early Tuesday morning, Meade and Umphenour drove north and encountered Mauney while he was walking his dogs, officials said. They were taken and driven east in a different car. Officers found the abandoned Honda and Mauney’s body nearby on Wednesday.
