Police ID body as missing CdA man
Officials confirmed Wednesday that the body found near Hayden Creek on Tuesday is Coeur d’Alene father and x-ray technician William “Bo” Kirk.
Few new details were released Wednesday as the Post Falls Police Department, Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and FBI Violent Crimes Task force investigate Kirk’s death as a homicide.
“There are a lot of details we can’t discuss right now,” said Post Falls Police Chief Scot Haug. “Obviously it’s a priority for all of us.”
Kirk disappeared after leaving his job as a radiology technologist at Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls at 7 p.m. Saturday. He was expected home by 7:20 p.m., but never arrived.
At 8:34 p.m. Saturday a masked man driving Kirk’s truck made two cash withdrawals from Kirk’s bank account at the U.S. Bank ATM at 6376 N. Government Way. At 8:46 p.m. another cash withdrawal was made from bankcda at 162 W. Hayden Ave. Kirk’s burning truck was found at 9:43 p.m. in the 23000 block of North Rimrock Road. That location is only eight miles from where Kirk’s body was found in the Coeur d’Alene National Forest near the Hayden Creek shooting range.
Police have video footage of the suspect from both banks. The driver is wearing a mask over the nose and mouth, a stocking hat, a bulky flannel sweater and gloves.
Haug said it appears a second person was inside the truck’s cab at both stops, but it’s difficult to make out the features/Nina Culver & Scott Maben, SR. More here.
