Skylar Meade and Nicholas Umphenour are now behind bars, both facing felony charges. Along with the charges police are investigating two murders that could possibly be linked back to the two men.
83-year-old James L. Mauney was found dead near Leland Idaho, on March 20th. His body was discovered in a desolate area along with the suspect's stolen getaway vehicle.
Police later discover another man, Gerald "Don" Henderson dead in his home outside of Orofino in Clearwater County. Although the investigation is still ongoing, shackles found at the scene lead police to believe they were left by Skylar Meade.
As of Monday afternoon, a cause of death has not been identified for either of the victims.
According to the Clearwater coroners' office, the autopsy for Gerald "Don" Henderson is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26th.
