An arrest has been made!

"Boise police announced Thursday that Bruce Marchant, 61, has been arrested in a New York hospital on felony charges of murder, rape and kidnapping.

Marchant’s last known address was in Boise, police said. Boise police have been investigating the disappearance of Bush since late September; her body was found in Boise County Oct. 22."

More information about the suspect including a photo.
http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article119871063.html

"Marchant, now 61, was released from the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in the fall of 2008, and in 2014 was arrested in Ada County and charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery. Both charges were dropped in early 2015, and no details of that case were available Thursday evening.

When Marchant tried to reduce his prison sentences in 1989, the Idaho Court of Appeals ruled against him, saying his "behavior resulted from debilitating psychological disorders' and that he stopped using prescribed medication and resorted instead to heavy alcohol use."

This is such a horrible tragedy. It breaks my heart to know that such a vibrant young person was taken from us far too soon and in such a violent way. Random crimes like this are rare in Boise. Right now they are reporting that the suspect was renting from Sierra/Simon's father and this how he was known to the suspect. Such a bright young child.
 
Long article about Marchant's crime-filled life. A troubled and dangerous man, he already spent much of his life in prison for arson and robbery. In 2000, while in prison he told a corrections officer that he killed his cell mate. He was never charged for it though. He was released in 2008.

In his last (known) crime before the murder, in 2014 he assaulted two women. Unfortunately, charges were dropped.

Suspect in BSU student’s killing to remain in New York for another month - February 3rd

http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article130615774.html

Bruce A. Marchant appeared Friday in a New York City court, but he wasn’t given clearance to be returned to Idaho just yet.

A needed warrant signed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, releasing Marchant to the custody of Ada County authorities, had not been filed before the hearing. So the matter was continued until March 8, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said.

Marchant, 61, is accused of killing Boise State University student Sierra Bush, 18, last fall and dumping her naked body in a creek near Idaho City, about 30 miles from Boise.
 
New hearing set in NY in effort to extradite suspect in Idaho murder of Sierra Bush

http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article135693258.html

Bruce Marchant, and Ada County prosecutors, are expected to learn later this month whether Marchant will be extradited to Idaho on charges he kidnapped, murdered and raped 18-year-old Boise State University student Sierra Bush.

A hearing is set for March 24 to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to establish him as the subject of the warrant, Ada County Prosecutor Jan Bennets said in a news release Wednesday morning. Documents signed by Idaho Gov. Butch Otter and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would release Marchant to the custody of Ada County authorities.
 
Boise man accused of killing Sierra Bush ordered back to Idaho

http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article140606968.html

A New York City judge Friday cleared the way for Bruce Marchant to be brought back to Boise to be tried for the rape, murder and kidnapping of Boise State University student Sierra Bush.

Marchant appeared before Supreme Court Judge Larry Stephen, who denied a writ of habeas corpus filed by Marchant, challenging his detention. In New York, a Supreme Court judge is equivalent to a Circuit Court judge in Idaho.

Stephen signed papers ordering Marchant’s extradition and asking Idaho authorities to pick up the defendant on April 6, according to the the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
