Update: Accused Molester’s Victim List Grew

With several possible incidents of sexual abuse piling up against him, the Hayden businessman arrested for allegedly molesting a child last weekend committed suicide on Thursday. Two campers came across the body of Mickey Allan Watson, 56, in the Moyie River near Twin Rivers Resort on Thursday night. The Boundary County Sheriff's Office determined that Watson had leapt off the Moyie River Bridge on Highway 2, and was killed by the 425-foot drop to the river below. Investigators concluded the death was intentional and self-inflicted. Kootenai County officers had arrested Watson, owner of Watson Homes, on July 6 for allegedly fondling an 8-year-old girl at a float house in Bayview the day before/Alecia Warren, Coeur d'Alene Press.
