In the crisp autumn air of early November 1974, the lives of two house painters would come to a tragic and violent end in the rural landscape of Valley County, Idaho. One of these men was John Wayne Bradford, a 30-year-old Caucasian male, who was traveling with his associate, 34-year-old Edward Thomas Arnold. Their work-worn Buick Century became a grim crime scene after an ill-fated decision to offer a ride to a pair of hitchhikers.
