Utah Fugitive Charged With Murder After 3 Bodies Found In Idaho Shed

CALDWELL, ID — A Utah man has been charged with three murder counts and remains a wanted fugitive in connection with three bodies found near a rural Idaho farmhouse.

Prosecutors charged Gerald Michael Bullinger after two additional bodies were identified as 14-year-old Payton Medley and her mother, 48-year-old Nadja Medley.

Bullinger's wife, Cheryl Baker, was identified on June 30. All three women from Ogden, Utah were found shot to death and hidden in a shed in Caldwell, Idaho that was recently bought by Baker and Bullinger.

The bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition.

A nationwide manhunt has been underway for Bullinger, a 60-year-old pilot and outfitter, since the bodies were found. Authorities have released few details about the crime, but said Bullinger is considered armed and dangerous. His car was found about a month ago in a remote campground near Moran, Wyoming.
