UPDATE Jan. 13, 2024: IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho Falls Police said Saturday morning they have arrested a man who is connected to murder in Montana.
Police were tipped off by a call into dispatch saying a motorhome on Wardell Avenue looked like the same motorhome wanted by police in Bozeman, Montana.
Police said Chris Foiles, 42, of Spokane Washington, was inside the motorhome parked on Wardell Avenue Friday. They found evidence suggesting Foiles was involved with the murder and arrested him. He is now being held in the Bonneville County Jail.

The motorhome is a 1973 tan motorhome with obvious damage to the rear driver’s side and a red stripe down the side. At some point in the last 4 weeks, the stripe was painted blue.
