Does anyone remember a homicide that occurred around 1980? Does anyone have any details? We were trying to remember events that had happened in Miles City, or to former Miles Citian's, and this was one that we had forgotten about. I seem to recall something about a cab driver, but I don't remember if a cab driver got killed or if there was a guy who used to be a cab driver here that murdered some people in California? confused Does this make any sense? Our curiousity is getting the best of us!

Thanks!

I vaguely remember this incidence. The killer's parents had lived in Miles City. He apparently came back to this area and murdered the cab driver on the road near the cementary. It was thought he holed up in the Pine Hills somewhere. I remember Ethel Hardesty telling me that someone during this time had broken in several cabins or summer homes and had taken food. As I recall he was later caught in California after murdering some one or some people and it came out that he had killed the cab driver in Miles Cityl

Etchemendy was the name I think. He was murdered by a couple of guys that went to prison. Maybe the chair too, or however we do it around these parts. Are we a lethal injections state? I know they used to hang people. On a field trip in high school, the jailer took us to the part of the jail where they used to carry out hangings and said that they quit the practice after a fat man's head came off. That's a rumor I wonder if there is truth to.

Okay, here we go from a reliable source:

Etchemendy was killed by Vernon and Lester Kills On Top, with involvement from a woman named Diane Bull Coming. (There may have been a Billings Gazette story about her release from prison in the not too distant past.)

Cody Schreiber killed a cab drive in the the 1970's. Apparently he was sent to Warm Springs, walked away and was later accused of killing a roommate in California.

I don't know which you are thinking about, but those are my guesses.

There hasn't been a peculiar murder in MC for a while. The last few have involved meth-heads that I presume have drifted recently to the area. Porno Larry is really the last I remember and I believe his remains unsolved to this day.

I guess there is still plenty of scandal though. It's fortunate that "He" runs the city with such gusto. If "He" really is the police chief, I think "He" should have to grow a handlebar mustache and carry a six-shooter and double-barreled shotgun. Sounds to me like a story for Dateline and a chance to attract tourists.

Note - Please refer only to "Him" as "He," as his name is too sweet utter and causes pain and deafness to those who hear it. "He" warrents capitalization too, because "He'll" getcha.

One would think Cody (the class clown btw.)is still in prison. From what I understand he and his roommate got into an argument (about a playboy centerfold poster.) Cody killed the roommate and when he couldn't fit his whole body into the hole he had dug,he just cut the head off.
This of course after having killed a man in Miles City, (Bill Moyer?)
been put into Warm Springs and walking away to CA. Scary!
There was a time Cody decided to get home by crossing the Yellowstone on a log, this so he wouldn't be late getting home. He was rescued sometime towards morning I think, on his way to Glendive. big grin

Cody was a 7th or 8th grader when I started a SHGS as a 1st grader. He was one of the "big kids" that was half-way nice to me. I think he was a trombone player for Mr. Terhar(sp?)in the SHHS band. If I remember correctly he was also a fairly good basketball player.

It is sad how some people seem like they have everything going for themselves and then mess their lives up.

My father claims to have been riding in the car behind the cab when the deed was done. Whether this is true or just something he liked to tell us when we were driving on Cemetery Road, I don't really know.

Come to think of it, he also told us once that one of the places where Lester & Vernon pulled over to beat Marty Etchemendy was just down the road from our house.

No doubt this was one of those "old-fashioned" parenting techniques I've heard so much about.

The other person that murdered someone in Miles City around 1980 was August White. He killed a fella from EMI and threw him off the tongue river bridge into the river. He did 25 years and was recently released. Now he is out and in Miles City. He dosn't seem to have any problem telling people about it either.

For a sense of perspective, Tom, was showing me a newspaper with the Montana theater advertising the original Star Wars movie, which was May of 1977. On the front page was a picture and article about Cody Schreiber saying that he had escaped the mental institution and talked about a murder he committed in 1976. I think we might still have the article at the pawn shop if anybody is interested.

Does anybody have any information on the August Lee White murder?

The cab driver that was murdered back in the 1970's was DON MOYER. He was a very nice, quiet, family man. He liked to bowl and spend time with his family.

The last I heard, Cody Schreiber was killed while in prison in California some time after the murder he committed there.

The developmentally disabled man that was killed was not thrown off the Tongue River bridge. What really happened wasn't much different from that, but what actually happened was that his body was slipped into a hole in the ice just below 12 mile dam on the Tongue River. Divers had to be brought in to dive through the hole in the ice to recover the body.

I tried to find a picture of Schreiber or some way to find if he's alive, but all I get is an article from 1997 college newspaper. California gave up on showing their prisoner records, but I sure don't know why? Oh wait, I guess they still do, but I don't have time to go through all the phonebooks in California.

If it's just not funny, I'm trying to imply that California is a state full of criminals.

I have been looking also and can't find anything on Cody. Can you send me what you found?
Did Cody escape out of the courtroom in MC and the deputies chase him on foot downtown. I think he was caught when he ran into a door someone was opening at store. I think he was outrunning the deputies barefooted. I may be wrong on it being Cody but it seems to me someone did escape like this.

He escaped the mental hospital at Warm Springs. Sounds like less of an escape and more of a stand up and walk away.

Cody Schreiber did escape from the Custer County Jail. He was in the process of transport from his cell to court and ran from the officers up the stairs of the EOC and out the door. A Miles City Police Officer just happened to drive up when Schreiber ran out across the parking lot behind the Courthouse. The Police Officer gave chase. Schreiber was barefoot. The chase took place for several blocks through a store and ended over by the old Park Theatre. A citizen stepped in front of Schreiber and slowed him down and the Police Officer caught and handcuffed him. He was taken back to jail after his brief freedom.

He walked away from Warm Springs.

The night Mr. Moyer died, I along with 4 unnamed friends came upon the scene right after it happened. There were 2 other people already there, both of them immediate neighbors, one of them a teacher. We couldn't figure out why the cab was backward in the ditch, with someone lying in the road. The teacher didn't want to tell us what was going on, finally did, and you never saw people move so fast in your life. I was driving and got to the nearest phone to call my mom and warn her to lock down the house. Of course she thought I was kidding, because of all the pranks I had pulled....
Couple days later while checking my trot line in the Tongue I noticed where someone had crossed from the other side. Notified the fuzz but no one came to investigate.
Bridgier ask you dad who was driving that night.
Maybe it's not a Deadman Road tale...

I remember back in the early 50's when an Air Force plane crashed up near the airport. Several of the crew bailed out prior to the plane crashing. In 1965 I had just returned to Connecticut from a visit in Miles City. I was working as a Sgt. at a County jail and on my first day back at work I was talking to the Sheriff and he asked where I had been on vacation. I told him that I had gone back to the town where I was born, Miles City, Montana. There was an inmate standing nearby and he asked if I had ever worked in a hotel in Miles City. I replied that I had worked in both the Miles Howard and Milligan. He said, "I thought you looked familiar. I was one of the guys who bailed out of the plane that crashed." He was doing time for breaking and entering. Now you know what happened to at least one of the guys from that plane. Incidently, David, we lived next door to John and Kathy Harasymczuk and were good friends. I last saw John when he visited us in Florida about 10 years ago.

On May 13, 1944, a B-24 bomber crashed at the airport. There were 6 survivors. They did not bail out, but one fellow pulled his rip chord and rolled himself up in his chute. Those who got to the scene first thought he had bailed out. I have had extensive conversations with that fellow

About 1955 a US Air Force C-119 blew an engine, while carrying paratroopers. They bailed out and landed all over MC and the surrounding area. The plane landed w/o incident.

On September 22, 1953, while I was in CCHS math class, a C-46 took off from the airport with a load of soldiers on the way home from Korea. An engine caught fire and the plane came over MC burning. The pilot made it to a wheat field across the highway from the airport and crash landed. No one was hurt, nor did anyone bail out.

In 1972 there happened upon the scene a young African American fellow who made a few friends around Miles City. One night he threw a rock or a brick through the Jewelry store window accross the street from where Sullivans Furniture is located. (Manns Jewlery)? He was caught and booked into the County jail and when the report on him came back it was discovered that he had killed a cab driver in SanDiego.

Regarding the August White murder of the guy from EMI - I don't know why I remember this, but I seem to recall the man he killed was named "Dallas" something-or-other...I remember as a young man, being somewhat stunned when I saw the article because the story went that "Dallas" had some valuable rare coin collection that White wanted to take from him, and he refused and was killed for it...of course, I may be mistaken, but that's the way I recall the story. Other than that, It's a sad fact of life that murder happens even in a place like Miles City that's thought to be a safe place to raise a family. I think it's still a safe place - there are just a small number of such instances compared to other places. Still, it's sad that it happens at all.

Marie Sparks was killed by her estranged husband Darrell Sparks in her boyfriend's apartment. Darrell Sparks is doing life at MSP. You can look up any offender on record on the Montana Department of Corrections website.

A sad footnote to contribute to this otherwise light hearted thread, Darrell Sparks had been stalking her since she left him and filed for divorce. He learned of her whereabouts by coercing it out of their young son who was of pre-school age at the time.

People do time in prision for comitting a felony. Once the term is up, they should be able to go on with their lives. People make mistakes. He made his biggest mistake at the invincible age of 17. He just got out nearly 30 years later. He missed out on everything, Like he told me, one minute your whole life is in front of you, you seem invincible, and the next monent you are staring at an old man in the mirror just trying to make it. Granted, he can not undo the things he did. Someone sounded suprised he is willing to talk about it. Should he just pretend it never happened? C'mon!!!!! He is not bragging about it. I dont mind someone asking me about my Parkinsons Disease. Knowledge IS power. Talking about something not understood helps the healing process. All I am saying is he made a mistake. He gave his pound of flesh and then some. He has done his time accroding to our laws. I think he has earned a chance.

I recall the same being told by family members to me, back when you were a little kid, so as far as I know that actually is true -- something along the lines that he was the first driver that came upon the scene and found the cab driver dead in the road. Or something like that.

> Come to think of it, he also told us once that one of the places where Lester & Vernon pulled over to beat Marty Etchemendy was just down the road from our house.

As far as Etchemendy and "just down the road from our house" goes ... I don't know if that is true or not.

If I recall correctly, and I may not, I think there was a pretty detailed description of what happened that was eventually published in the paper... with the end result of him ending up over the border into Wyoming.

I don't remember what was said about the trip down... although I vaguely recall it all starting at somewhere like the Golden Saloon parking lot or something like that.

What was Cody Schreibers' sisters name, do you recall?
By the way Cody is still in prison in California. He stated that Satan had entered him at the age of 5. He was obsessed with dead animals when he was little. He broke his puppy's back leg just to do it. I heard that he tried killing his youngest sister in her crib several times, and used lawn shears to cut her head open, and would try to smother her in her sleep. So his real mother had to give him up for adoption in Billings Montana in 1959, thats when the Schreibers adopted him. Cody was always beaten by his real father who has sence passed away. What is weird is that the father used to kill cab drivers and rob them in the State of Kansas and Missouri. He was never cought. how ironic!! is being a murder genetic?

Cody is my cousin, and according to my grandmother, he's still kicking it in the pen.

Since someone brought this thread back to life I figured I'd correct the mistake. Marie Sparks (maiden name Eddy) was killed by her husband Darrell in Nov 92. However her son was not of preschool age and did not reveal her whereabouts to her estranged husband. I was 12 and was home asleep when I woke to the sheriff at the door around 2am and my father knew where my mother was due to her car. It's amazing how folks cite mistakes with such detail.

It was Dallas Haley who was thrown into 12 mile. Gary Dent was the police officer that ran down Cody Schreiber and caught him in front of the Park Theater. Another double homicide I remember was at Kinsey Mt. about 12 to 15 years ago. The exbrother in-law of a Kinsey resident broke into his ex sister in-laws home and shot and killed her and her youngest son. Her husband, Claude was also shot but survived the gun blast to his stomach. The perpetrator, I believe his last name was Race, also set the house on fire. The oldest son ran to the neighbors with severe burns covering his body. Race escaped by apparently crossing the Yellowstone river on foot and was captured later in the week on a beach in Corpus Christi Texas. Does anyone else recall this incident? No idea how the survivers are doing today.

Yup. I remember that terrible, terrible night all too well. I was on standby MCFD when the call came in.

The Wymans were and are good folks. I hope they're doing as well as can be expected. I really do.

Legal Record is a little ambiguous. Is it 2 counts per on the 20th and 21st of Oct '95 for a total of four or 2 counts total? In any event, it shows "life" for a net sentence on all homicide convictions.

Also, latest status pages on Sparks shows 40yrs for mitigated deliberate homicide, 40 years for burglary and 10 years for a weapon. I can't tell if the sentences are concurrent or consecutive

https://app.mt.gov/cgi-bin/conweb/c...okup.cgi?docid=34491

Updated page on White shows an original sentence of 50 years plus 10 for a weapon.

https://app.mt.gov/cgi-bin/conweb/c...okup.cgi?docid=16468

And, some randomness. Just how hard could it be to find a 6'2" amputee cross dresser anyhow?

Late 60s early 70s Jan Smith was shot at the Alta Club.Alise Anderson shot and killed on garland street in the late 90s I believe. Anyone recall those two homicides.

Dave it's hard to say. If they plead guilty to all they usually run concurrent. If it goes to trial and found guilty usually runs consecutive. If it goes to trial and they are sentenced to a large number of years the judge usually makes it concurrent.
I think in his case it is probably concurrent.

I believe the person you're referring to was Rob Huschka, class of '93.

It was Jeff Wyman who was shot and burned by his uncle in Kinsey. It was on 10/21/95. His brother and mother didn't make it but his dad and sister did. I think she still lives on Atlantic across from the depot. Last I heard Jeff was somewhere warm on the east coast. He was a huge NASCAR fan and would often take my son out on the roads in Kinsey just like Dale Sr. would do it as he said. He even had his car painted with a big 3 on it.

We had gone with Jeff out to the house a few times and it was just so heartbreaking knowing what happened there. He was not shy about talking about it and was sort of a hero to my son. Jeff would take him out in kinsey and go fishing for catfish. I remember that was some of the best times for my son. So excited to come home and cook his fish that they just caught. I would love to get back into contact with Jeff and see how he is doing.

The Wyman tragedy has to be the horriblest thing that ever happened at Kinsey. Check out the a-hole who did it:

I hope something even more horrible becomes of that bastard. But not anytime soon. Let him enjoy prison as long as possible.

Yes, Denny. My mother Alise Cagle was killed in our front yard in July 1995, same year as the Wymans. I remember it was just a really bad year for the community. Her perpetrator Karley Lindstrom claimed to have accidentally shot her. He received 15 years for criminal endangerment, and only had to serve about 5 if I remember correctly. He's been out for some time.
