Sanity -> Former FBI informant leaves a trail of dead people (7/26/2009 7:51:06 PM)

This article just blows my mind. What the hell happened here? Will the whole story ever be told? There's so much wrong with this. What really surprises me more than anything is finding some real journalism in the Idaho Statesman, which has become your typical far left mouth piece for the Democratic party, as have almost all modern newspapers.
The article is fairly long, and TOS rules prohibit posting more than brief excerpts due to copyright infringement laws, so I would encourage you to click on the link provided below and read the whole thing for yourself.

Former FBI informant leaves a trail of dead people, including an Idaho couple's daughter
In a remote area of eastern Utah's Book Cliffs, north of Interstate 70 close to the Colorado border, a dirt road breaks through rolling terrain fissured by canyons. It dead-ends in a box canyon pocked with junipers.
On April 22, a warm and sunny spring day, Howard and Darlene Emry trekked up the canyon's sandy wash and stood at the base of an escarpment. An FBI agent who led the Emrys on the hike pointed to a small rock ledge midway up the cliff.
This was the spot, hidden from view from above and below, where the body of the Emrys' 24-year-old daughter, LeAnn, was found.
LeAnn was officially declared a victim of homicide just this past week, but she lay on that ledge for almost six years, since some time around the January 2003 day when she checked out of a Colorado hotel and was never heard from again.
The spot was so remote and so hidden that the FBI may never have found it if it wasn't for a man named Scott Lee Kimball.
Kimball, a 42-year-old Colorado native who has been in trouble with the law his entire adult life, led authorities this March along that desolate road to LeAnn.
The 10-time felon - who continued to get in trouble even as an FBI informant and witness - is serving more than 50 years in prison for theft and a federal gun charge. But he left a trail of dead and missing people behind him.
In 2007, a hunter found the body of Kaysi McLeod, 19, who disappeared in August 2003 - just days before Kimball married her mother.
Last month, Kimball led authorities to a body believed to be his uncle, missing since Sept. 1, 2004, in a remote mountain pass west of Denver.
Jennifer Marcum, a woman who vanished Feb. 17, 2003, while Kimball was keeping tabs on her for the FBI, has never been found.
All three - and LeAnn - were last seen with Kimball.
But Kimball has yet to be charged with a crime in connection to their deaths or disappearances. He insists he did not kill anyone but knows who did and helped dispose of the bodies.
And a complex plea agreement may keep the Emrys and the families of the other missing people forever in the dark about what happened to their loves ones.
