A man once falsely accused of murdering a woman near Hope, Idaho, has gone missing, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

Nathan L. Utt, 43, was last seen at about 11:30 a.m. Monday in the 9000 block of Maple Street in Hayden. He said he was going to the Hayden Walmart but never returned, the sheriff’s office said Friday.

Utt is about 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing jeans and a red shirt. The sheriff’s office said he is deaf and depends on daily medications.

Anyone with knowledge of Utt’s whereabouts should call (208) 446-1300, the sheriff’s office said.

In April 2017, Utt was arrested in Spokane and extradited to Idaho on suspicion of killing 78-year-old Shirley Ann Ramey, the former city clerk of Hope. Her husband had found her shot to death in their home on April 5. Utt lived in a trailer a quarter-mile away.

He was innocent in that case but has been convicted of felony stalking in the first degree. (www.searchquarry.com) Probably why they suspected him. For his family's sake, I hope he is found safely.

Utt is characterized as disabled under the Idaho State Police Missing Persons Clearinghouse, which applies to missing persons of any age who have diagnosed physical or mental conditions.

However, the charge against Utt was later dismissed after it was discovered he had a verified alibi. Utt, it turned out, was in Eugene, Ore., at the time SR was slain. Utt had been occupying a camper trailer in the foothills of the Cabinet Mountains near SR’s home. Vigilantes peppered the camper with gunfire after it emerged that he was a suspect in SR’s killing, which family members said left Utt effectively homeless.

As it turns out, Utt was at a medical facility in Oregon at the time of the murder.

After detectives realized his alibi checked out, prosecutors went to the Bonner County Courthouse to drop the charges. Utt’s family said the damage had already been done.
