After 44 Years, A Mysterious Idaho Murder Is Finally Solved
For many people, the true crime genre is pure entertainment and a way to pass the time. From Netflix documentaries to YouTube channels or podcasts… people love to take in a good true crime story – or cold case.
The brutal reality of a cold case
While the subject of a cold case can be a form of entertainment for some, the harsh reality is that this is real for the victims or victims.
These people have families and loved ones experiencing pain and heartache. The worst part of it all is that they have no answers and no closure.
It’s probably not something we consider as we binge through episodes of cold cases on our favorite streaming platforms. Meanwhile, law enforcement and detectives are feeling the pressure from the victim’s loved ones to find those responsible.

Is This Unsolved Idaho Crime More Horrific Than Jeffrey Dahmer?
In 1979, 12-year-old Christina Lee White went missing in Asotin, Washington, and hasn’t been seen since. It was this disappearance that marked the beginning of what is known as the “Lewis Clark Valley murders” that plagued parts of Washington and Idaho from 1979 to 1982.

Future USS Idaho nuclear submarine received by the Navy, dubbed ‘Gem of the Fleet’
GROTON, Connecticut — Last week, the future USS Idaho nuclear submarine was delivered to the U.S. Navy at its facility in Groton, Connecticut.
The nuclear-powered submarine is set to be commissioned in spring 2026, sailing the world for the next 30 years.
Before it commissions this upcoming spring, the USS IDAHO crew will undergo training and mission exercises.
Virginia-class submarine program manager Captain Mike Hollenbach comments on how driven Idaho is in the military space.
“Idaho represents the hard work and tenacity of shipbuilders, industry partners and Navy personnel to deliver the best undersea warfighting platform to the fleet.”
The future Idaho submarine will be the fifth Navy ship to be named for the state of Idaho. The first one, a wooden-hulled storeship, was commissioned in 1866.

Police said the crash occurred just before 6:15 a.m. on State Highway 25. There were a total of 17 students on the two buses, all of whom have been reunited with their families.
Officials did not release information on where the students attend school.
The crash comes just days after two school buses were hit by a pickup truck in central Utah, sending 18 people to the hospital and resulting in the death of the truck driver.
The majority of the Wasatch Academy students in the Utah crash have since returned from the hospital, according to school officials.
Utah officials believe the three-vehicle crash may have been caused by fatigued driving. The cause of the Idaho crash is still under investigation.
