A body discovered Tuesday near the Hayden Creek
Shooting Range, northeast of Hayden Lake in the
Coeur d'Alene National Forest, has been
identified as William "Bo" Kirk, 41, a Post
Falls man reported missing on Saturday. Kootenai
County Sheriff's detectives have ruled the death
a homicide.
Two Coeur d'Alene men found the body just after
noon October 25 while walking on Forest Service
Road 437 and notified authorities.
On the evening of Saturday, October 22, the Post
Falls Police Department was informed that
William “Bo” Kirk was last seen at his place of
work, Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post
Falls, at approximately 7 p.m.
He was expected home at around 7:20 p.m., but
did not arrive.
Kirk's silver 2015 GMC pickup was reportedly
spotted with two people inside at around 8:30
p.m. Saturday at two different bank ATMs, and
Kirk's debit card was used at both to withdraw
cash.
At approximately 9:43 p.m., Timberlake Fire and
Rescue responded to a vehicle on fire in the
23000 block of North Rimrock Road on the north
end of Kootenai County.
Emergency responders arrived on scene to find
the pickup fully engulfed. The pickup was
registered to Kirk and it was the vehicle he had
driven to work that day. Kirk's body was
discovered about eight miles away.
Multiple agencies, including Post Falls Police,
the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Coeur
d'Alene Police, the North Idaho Violent Crimes
Task Force and the FBI, are investigating Kirk's
death, and anyone with information is asked to
call the sheriff's office at (208) 446-1400. |
