Robert Bishop Jr, a resident of Arco, Idaho, was killed in the spring of 1981 after offering a ride to transients Randy L. McKinney, 19, and Dovey Lynn Small, 27. The couple, reportedly hitchhiking through the northwestern states, asked Bishop for a lift; they later persuaded him to drive to an abandoned gravel pit outside Arco for target shooting. While Bishop was setting up targets, McKinney shot him once in the stomach and four times in the head with a .22 caliber revolver.

After the killing, McKinney returned in Bishop’s car to pick up Small and her sister, and later led them to the body to prove the murder. Bishop’s car was found in a bowling alley parking lot, and McKinney and Small were arrested soon after. McKinney was arrested on the day of the shooting and was later convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and robbery; Small was charged with first-degree murder and related offenses.
