Student held in threats at University High

An 18-year-old University High School student was arrested late Friday on suspicion of writing bomb threats in the school’s bathrooms, causing the school to be evacuated twice.

Calynn E. Moore is facing three felony counts of threats to bomb or injure property. Deputies believe she is responsible for threats found in two women’s bathrooms on April 13, 14 and 20.

Spokane County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Deputy Mark Gregory said video surveillance helped solve the case. An investigation into threatening emails sent to the school April 1 and 3 continues. Nina Culver

Missing tribal elder found dead by police

A Coeur d’Alene Tribe elder missing since early April was found dead Thursday in a forested area a few miles north of Tekoa, Washington, off Stateline Road.

Acting on a tip, tribal police found the body of Noel Edward Campbell, 80. Foul play is not suspected, said Heather Keen, a tribal spokeswoman.

Campbell, who had diabetes and was partially blind, was last seen at the Gateway Café in Plummer, Idaho, about April 2 and was reported missing April 16. He served on the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Council in the 1970s, Keen said.

A memorial service is planned Sunday and Monday at the Evan Abraham Longhouse in DeSmet, Idaho.
