On July 25, 1985, 58-year-old Alberta Herndon and her nephew Delbert Herndon were prospecting for gold at their mountain cabin near McCall, Idaho, when three men — Gerald Pizzuto Jr., William Odom, and James Rice — confronted them and held them at gunpoint. The assailants bound the pair’s wrists and legs, stole their money, and Pizzuto bludgeoned both Alberta and Delbert to death with a hammer before the three fled the scene.

A manhunt began on July 26, 1985. Odom and Rice were captured relatively quickly; Pizzuto evaded capture for four days, stole a truck, and forced a man to drive him to Montana. He was arrested at his sister’s house in Montana on July 29, 1985, initially under an alias before his identity was confirmed and linked to other violent crimes.

Pizzuto was convicted in 1986 for the murders of Alberta and Delbert Herndon and sentenced to death; Odom and Rice accepted plea deals for lesser sentences in exchange for their testimony. Did anyone in the McCall area at the time have contact with the victims or recall seeing suspicious activity around that cabin in late July 1985?
