IN CUSTODY!
The Bonner County Sheriff's Office is seeking
the whereabouts of a known Sandpoint area
transient in connection to a murder
investigation that began at about 5 p.m.
Wednesday, when an elderly Trestle Creek Road
man reported his wife unresponsive.
Detectives arriving on scene found the woman
dead, and though the cause of death has yet to
be determined, are pursuing the death as a
homicide, and Nathan Lane Utt, 41, as a suspect.
Utt, who is 6'1" tall and weighs 180 pounds, is
known to frequent area soup kitchens, food banks
and charitable organizations, and he may have
been given a ride on Highway 200 near Trestle
Creek shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 5.
Detectives say he usually carries a back pack
and is likely wearing a blue jacket or geen
full-length trench coat.
While no details have been disclosed and the
name of the victim remains withheld pending
notification of her family, detectives say they
do have probable cause to arrest Utt on a charge
of first degree murder. They say he armed and
dangerous and that he should not be approached.
Anyone who has seen him recently or knows where
he might be, please call the Bonner County
Sheriff's Office at (208) 263-8417 or call 911. |
