Police search for Utah man after 3 women found dead in Idaho

In this undated photo released by the Canyon County Sheriff’s office shows suspect Gerald “Mike” Bullinger, formerly of Ogden, Utah. Canyon County Sheriffs Chief Deputy Marv Dashiell says Bullinger is considered a person of interest in the murders discovered Monday, June 19, 2017 at a Caldwell, Idaho home. A sheriffs deputy found the bodies hidden in a shed after family members from out-of-state called to ask that someone check on Bullinger and other family members who had recently moved to the tiny Idaho farmhouse.

Several dead pets were also found at the home, but Bullinger was gone. He’s now been named a person of interest in the case, and charged with failing to report the deaths to authorities.

“We would consider him armed and dangerous at this time,” Canyon County Chief Deputy Marv Dashiell said Wednesday morning. “If someone does come into contact with him or observe him, we request that they contact local law enforcement immediately.”

Bullinger, a 60-year-old pilot, had just purchased the home last month with his wife, 57-year-old Cheryl Baker. The couple was in the process of moving to Idaho from Utah when one of Bullinger’s relatives called police to ask for a welfare check, saying the family hadn’t been heard from for a few days.  Full story.
