David Knauer, 65, was found dead near Challis, Idaho, on November 14, 2022, after moving to the area from Fairfield, California, about two weeks earlier. Deputies initially responded to a 911 call reporting a possible suicide, but investigators concluded the case was a homicide after noting a gunshot wound to the head and body and firearm positioning that suggested the wound was not self-inflicted.

Witnesses reported seeing Knauer that day with an older tan pickup truck featuring a distinctive brown stripe; the vehicle may have had a black grill guard. The Custer County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Ada County Coroner’s Office, has said potential suspects have been identified but has not released names and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the Challis area see a tan pickup with a brown stripe near November 14, 2022, or have information about Knauer’s last known contacts?
