Clara Agnes Knight, known as Agnes, was born in Tennessee in 1907. She later married Alton Fults in 1929 and gave birth to her first girl, Mabel, in 1930. Three years later, the family moved across the country to Kimberly, Idaho to a small home at 553 Main Street, surrounded by potato cellars, train tracks and farmland.

“Mommy put her to bed the night before. She woke up in the morning and her mother was just gone. Her things were there, her clothes were still there. Everything was still there. But mom just wasn't there. She remembers asking where mom was, and everyone told her to stop asking,” Hardesty said. “Eventually, they just told her mom was gone and she wasn't coming back, that she didn't want her anymore, that she had run away.”

“He [the police chief] believed that a family member had killed her and that she was buried underneath a potato cellar.”

Arrington can’t comment on what the police chief may have said back in the 1960’s because it’s an open investigation – but he can say that based on the information that was brought to him, police have reached out to outside agencies to utilize ground penetrating radar to search “areas of interest.”
Hardesty and Trotter said the places in Kimberly planned for radar searching are the areas near the old Fults home, which is no longer standing. The property is an empty, barren lot across from Centennial Park – but those who drive by on Main Street, or Highway 30, can still see the old utilities and pipes sticking up out of the ground.
Just feet behind the old Fults’ property lies Silas Givens' home at the time, just off Givens Road behind a storage unit near a set of railroad tracks. Trotter said there are old potato cellars under Centennial Park (right across from the old Fults property), the storage unit and around the area of the railroad tracks.
