Kootenai County Sheriff’s detectives are seeking
assistance from the public on the deaths of a
woman and her two children found deceased in
Fernan Lake on Thursday, November 3, 2016.
Kootenai County Sheriff’s detectives are
continuing to investigate the deaths of Misty
Phelps, 25, Coeur d’Alene and her two children,
Tristan Phelps, age 1, and Riley Phelps, age 2.
The three were discovered dead in their
submerged car at the west Fernan Boat Launch
just before 11 a.m. November 3, 2016, and were
last seen in the area the night of November 2,
2016.
Sheriff’s detectives are identifying the persons
and vehicles that used the west Fernan Boat
Launch and parking area the night of November 2,
2016, and are particularly interested in anyone
that visited the launch between the hours of 8
and 10:30 p.m. Detectives are specifically
seeking contact with the driver of a dark
colored SUV seen leaving the area at 10:08 p.m.
that night.
The dark colored SUV is possibly a Ford Bronco,
late 1980s to early 1990s model, with Idaho
license plates. Additionally, the vehicle is
equipped with custom headlights and custom LED
lighting near the headlights. The headlights and
LED lighting are color-tinted, or
color-shifting, and are distinctive in
appearance.
Please contact KCSO Detectives if you are the
owner of this vehicle, or have seen this
vehicle. Also, please call if you were at the
west Fernan Boat Launch or park on November 2,
2016, between the hours of 8 and 10:30 p.m. if
you have not already spoken with detectives.
Those with information can contact Detective
Sergeant Brad Maskell by email at
bmaskell@kcgov.us or Detective Terry
Campbell,
tcampbell@kcgov.us, or call (208) 446-2237. |
