According to Alex Brizee of East Idaho News, Skylar Meade, 32, was sentenced to at least 35 years because of an ambush that allowed him to escape while receiving treatment at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Meade, who was already serving a minimum of 10 years at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, could face the death penalty for his alleged role in a homicide. On Friday, the Nez Perce County Prosecutor’s Office announced its intent to seek the death penalty against Skylar Meade, who has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of an 83-yearold man. The officers announced that Meade and Umphenour were suspects in a pair of killings. According to Idaho State Police, the men encountered James Mauney in Juliaetta, north of Lewiston, while Mauney was out walking his dogs. His body was later found in a desolate area. The same day in Clearwater County deputies found the body of 72-year-old Gerald “Don” Henderson in his Cabin outside of Orofino. The police said that shackles that belonged to Meade and Mauney’s dogs were found in the cabin.

RFK JR. placed a dead bear in Central Park 10 years ago
According to reports, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Sunday that 10 years ago he drove a dead bear cub from upstate New York and placed the carcass in New York City’s Central Park. Kennedy told actress Rosanne Barr about him traveling through Hudson Valley when he came across a “young bear” that had been hit and killed. He said, “I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was gonna skin the bear… It was in very good condition and I was gonna put the meat in my refrigerator.” Kennedy said after he went back to the city he went to dinner with the bear still in his car. After dinner, he said he had to go to the airport and couldn’t take the bear back to his house. He then brought up the idea to friends to take the bear to Central Park and make it appear that a biker had hit it. He said laughing in a video, “I had an old bike in my car that somebody had asked me to get rid of and I said, ‘Let’s go put the bear in Central Park and we’ll make it look like he got hit by a bike.’” Kennedy then said, “Everybody thought, ‘That’s a great idea.’ So we did that and we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it or something.”
