Coroner names victims in planned murder-suicide on Rainier Street

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The Bonneville County coroner has identified two people who died in an apparent murder-suicide in Idaho Falls last week.  39-year-old James Herring and 47-year-old April Wielang of Idaho Falls were found dead in a home on the 1700 block of Rainier Street.

According to LinkedIn, the two were attorneys and had been law partners at Wielang & Herring PLLC, which was dissolved several years ago.

Last Thursday, Police say dispatch got a call about a possible suicide after a family member received a letter that looked like a suicide note. The letter stated that both Herring and Wielang planned a murder-suicide.
