In early summer 2017 a Caldwell, Idaho farmhouse became the scene of a triple homicide that included 14-year-old Payton Medley, her 48-year-old mother Nadja Medley, and 56-year-old Cheryl Baker. The three were found shot once each in a shed on the property on June 19, 2017, after family members reported being unable to reach Nadja and Payton.

All three victims had recently been living with Gerald Mike Bullinger, a pilot who had purchased the Idaho property with Cheryl Baker while also maintaining a relationship with Nadja. Friends said Nadja believed Bullinger was divorced and had moved from Utah to Idaho to start a new life with him. Investigators quickly named Bullinger the prime suspect and charged him with three counts of first-degree murder.

Bullinger disappeared after the killings; his car was later found abandoned at a remote campground near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Law enforcement has expressed the belief he may have died by suicide or from exposure, but no remains have been found and the investigation remains open. Does anyone have information about Payton, Nadja, Cheryl, or their time in Caldwell that could help the case?
