Police track down escaped Idaho prison gang member and accomplice, say pair may have killed 2 on run

Police on Thursday arrested two white supremacist gang members — an Idaho prison inmate and the accomplice who helped him escape — following an attack on corrections officers at a Boise hospital, and investigators are looking into whether they killed two people while on the run.

Skylar Meade, the escaped inmate, and Nicholas Umphenour, the man who police say shot two Idaho corrections officers early Wednesday to break Meade out of custody, were arrested after a brief car chase Thursday afternoon in Twin Falls, about 130 miles (209 kilometers) from where they escaped.

Authorities said during a news conference Thursday that they were investigating two homicides, in Clearwater County and Nez Perce County, which borders Washington state. Both victims were men. Police found shackles at the scene of one of the killings and “that’s one of the ways we tied them together,” Idaho State Police Lt. Colonel Sheldon Kelley said.

If you’re only 130 miles from where you started a day and a half after you escape, you’re terrible at escaping. Must have really wanted revenge on those murders to make them so high priority.

Everybody had seen their faces on tv, they wouldn’t be able to use main highways b/c police presence, they’d have to steal cars every time they started running low on gas, etc etc.

I’m not shocked they murdered two people while on the run, likely because they didn’t want them calling the cops.

Your idea that they were targeting the two victims doesn’t pass the sniff test.

They… left the shackles behind, near the murder victim.

But given that they’re Christian Nationalist Nazis, perhaps this is understandable.
