too close to home, okay?
BSU Student Found Dead Near Warm Springs; Police Believe U. of I. Murder Connected
By Jill Kuraitis, 4-03-07
Police now believe the murders of Boise native David Boss, 21, at the University of Idaho and Bradley Morse, a 25-year-old BSU student whose body was found this morning in a pond in southeast Boise were committed by the same man. John Delling, 21, is in custody in Sparks, Nevada. He will be charged with the first degree murder of David Boss. No word yet on charges in the death of Bradley Morse.
With the death of Boss who graduated from Timberline High School in 2003 at the University of Idaho this week, the fatal shooting of a suspect by police at a local Fred Meyer store, and yesterday’s murder-suicide of a couple on the University of Washington campus - which several dozen Boise kids attend - violent crime is way too close to home for me. Warm Springs is visible from my block, my son graduated with the boy from Timberline, the Fred Meyer is walking distance from my house, and I know scads of kids at the University of Washington.
Now add this: one of my children just called to remind me that the alleged murderer used to play in the same neighborhood gang as my kids. Nothing like a day full of scary stories to make a mom feel confident.
But that’s nothing compared to what the loved ones of all these victims must be feeling. I’m thinking of them today.
