GUILTY MT - Sherry Arnold, 43, Sidney, 7 Jan 2012 - #4

A little inside info........Roosevelt County Sheriff requested County Road Deptartment help, as he was NOT familier with east end Roosevelt(Back Country). The info was, 1 hour west of Williston and North of Hwy 2. I hope this helps some,and will bring Sherry Arnold home!. I will be out looking for deer sheds, ;)

ah, so they likely continued north west on 16 then east on 2 to williston....

I've put this on the map but my placement is random. If you believe I should move it, please let me know.

I used to know that area well but I am sure much has changed in 30s years. For a short time I worked for an oilfield service company during the previous oil boom. My primary area was Roosevelt, Sheridan, Daniels, and Valley counties in MT. Occasionally I would cover for someone down in Richland county. But most of my time was spent in the Culbertson, Bainville, Plentywood, Westby area. There is a lot of remote country between Bainville and Medicine Lake.

Sherry Arnold virtual run set for Saturday
What started as a small race to honor the life of missing Sidney teacher Sherry Arnold has now turned into a nationwide run. Sherry's cousin, BR of Colorado, posted the run on her blog (shutupandrun.net) and has received hundreds of e-mails from people planning to run in places across the country and as far away as Thailand and Egypt.

Sherry Arnold's husband thanks supporters


Arnold declined to say whether investigators have given him any more information than has been released to the general public.
"They have filled us in any way they feel they can without jeopardizing the investigation," he said. "The last thing we want is to jeopardize the investigation. We are being as patient with that as we can."
Arnold said he and his family are holding up with the support of the community.
"I think we're all of us doing the best we can under very difficult circumstances," Arnold said.

Two Colorado men accused of kidnapping and possibly killing Sidney teacher Sherry Arnold are set to appear in a Sidney courtroom at noon. Lester Waters Jr., 47, and Michael Spell, 22, will make an initial appearance in a Sidney court. The men are each facing a felony charge of aggravated kidnapping. Waters and Spell will appear in Judge Gregory Mohr's courtroom for an initial appearance to hear the charges against them in the state of Montana.

The quick court appearance comes after a North Dakota Court Judge granted a motion to extradite Waters and Spell to Montana after verifying that the men are the suspects in the case. The judge ordered that both men be transported today from North Dakota to Montana.

Just last week, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer signed an extradition warrant for the two men, requesting they be brought back to Montana. North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed the warrants, authorizing the extradition.

They were served with the Montana warrants at 10:07 a.m. and they’re scheduled to appear in Sidney City Court at noon.

The two are accused of kidnapping Arnold, 43. She last was seen leaving her home to go for a run on the morning of Jan. 7.

Waters and Spell qualified as indigent and were appointed public defenders. Each has a bond of $2.5 million.

Arnold is presumed dead, but authorities have not released any information on why they believe she is dead.

Today’s hearing revealed no new information, but charging documents may be released this week.

They’ll appear in district court also in Sidney later this week.

In court, the suspects showed no emotion as arguments were heard. Tuesday's hearing uncovered no new information in the case. Waters' and Spell's attorneys tried to argue that Montana authorities did not have a probable cause in its arrest warrants and there was not evidence linking them to the crime. The North Dakota State Attorney said it was not for the state of North Dakota to question the cause, but to verify the men are the suspects in the case and return them to Montana.

That's a heartbreaking picture from the balloon launch.

I really hope the charging documents are released this week.
 
Spell, 22, and Waters, 47, made their initial appearances in a Sidney courtroom on Tuesday afternoon after being extradited from North Dakota on Tuesday morning; both men are facing a felony charge of aggravated kidnapping.

According to the Sidney Herald, Spell was represented by Randi Hood. He waived reading of the charges and opted to have charges filed in the Seventh Judicial District Court. Spell is scheduled to appear in District Court at 2 p.m. Feb. 28 with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. The Herald says bond was set for Spell at $2.5 million.

The Herald says Waters was represented by attorney Cynthia Thornton. A preliminary examination was set for Feb. 24 at 10:30 a.m. in Sidney City Court. Waters will then appear in District Court at 2 p.m. Feb. 28. Mohr also set his bond at $2.5 million.

Facing the death penalty takes its toll. :what:



Montana has been fighting to bring the pair to the state for about a month. Michael Spell, 22, and Lester Waters, 47, were accompanied by their attorneys, who argue there is not enough probable cause to hold the men on aggravated kidnapping charges.
“There is no date of birth, no height, no weight, no pictures, no fingerprints. Just a name and that's not good enough," said Katie Earber, attorney for Waters.

I don't quite get that bit about the DOB, no height, no weight, no pictures and no fingerprints.

But I do wish she had addressed the [alleged] confession.

I think maybe she's saying that the state of Montana listed these guys' names in the charging documents or arrest warrants, but did not include their DOBs, pictures, etc., with the documents so she's trying to claim that Montana is looking for 2 other guys who just happen to share the same names. She's trying to argue that they can't prove it was these 2 who committed the crime. Pretty weak argument if you ask me.
 
The alleged confession? Has anyone else read this other than the examiner? I was just wondering because I don't remember reading that. I wonder which one confessed? This whole case disturbs me. I live in Montana & have a sister that lives in Sidney.....This stuff just doesn't happen here..Counting the days to hear the evidence. I wish they would release the vehicle that was used in crime...I know they don't want to release info because they are afraid of damaging the case but it might help to locate her body. People are more apt to remember a vehicle in the area than they are to remember seeing these two men a vehicle.
