WANTED: Vernon Ray Henry
Vernon Ray Henry killed her wife Connie, 42, and oldest daughter Heather, 17, on August 11, 1996 in their home in Athol, Idaho. His three other children ages 12, 7, and 5 were in thee house at the time of the murder. Their oldest son had already moved out of the house by this time.
On this Monday night the 12 year old son woke up to arguing around 12:45 a.m. between his father, mother and older sister. He wasn't sure what the argument was about, but Vernon got so angry that he brought out his gun and shot Heather and Connie. The boy got out of bed to find his mother and sister laying dead on the floor and watched his dad fleeing the scene, driving north on Highway 95 in a maroon 1986 Toyota Camry 4-door car with license plate K22671. His son then called 911. The 7 year old did wake up, but the 5 year old did not until they were halfway out of the house.
No one expected this to have happened. Vernon seemed like such a nice guy to many people. He was even described to have been in a good mood talking about good fishing holes. In reality though police believe that the crime might have been premeditated, and may have stashed supplies in the woods and hid out there. He was described as the anti-government and survivalist type.
He is wanted on warrants for 2 counts of 1st Degree Murder and use of a firearm in commission of felony. and He has ties to Nebraska and Alaska, but may had even fled as far as Belize
At the time of his disappearance he was 5'10 and weighed around 145 lbs. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He was 44 at the time of the murder, but as of 2017 he would be 65 years old.

One-Eyed Jack Doe
There are many reasons on why someone murders. Sometimes it’s for money, out of passion, or jealousy. The reason that Jesse Burt Bishop murdered One-Eyed Jack was because he thought that he was being annoying.
This John Doe had acquired the nickname One-Eyed Jack due to him missing his left eye. He also wore an eyepatch, but there was a a large white marble with orange coloration found with him. It’s believed that was used as a fake eye. The murderer was not sure, but believed that the victim's name may had either been Jack or John.
One Eyed Jack was picked up by Boise Idaho by Bishop who was heading to Alaska. The hitchhiker told Bishop that he was heading to Pendleton, Oregon. Once Bishop mentioned that he was heading to Alaska Jack asked his he could go along and the two headed together there. While going through Canada the victim got on his nerves. Bishop killed his victim soon after coming into Alaska and left his body in the woods along the roadway.
Bishop stated the victim had an Oregon driver’s license. He was a white male was around 32 years old and approximately 6 ft and 165 lbs. The victim had long dark hair and wore a headband. He was missing his left eye and wore an eyepatch a large marble was found in his pants and it had an orange coloring to it. The victim is more than likely from the Northwest area of the U.S.
Bishop thought the victim had been hurt during a logging accident from a choker cable in Oregon. Bishop also stated that he thought the victim worked for a Lincoln car dealership washing cars in either Colorado or Utah. At one point the victim said that he had been married.
Bishop didn’t know if any of the information he had was accurate as he claimed that the victim lied to him quite a bit.
Anthropologist provided that the Bishop was accurate about describing the man. He was white male between 25 to 35 years-old with brown medium curly hair and was approximately 5'11.
It is possible that One-Eyed Jack did not settle in one place. With the information that Bishop gave with him being in Oregon, Idaho, possibly in Colorado and or Utah and then making a split second decision to go to Alaska with a complete stranger it could be possible that he did not settle in one place. He possibly lived a nomadic life. He was initially heading Oregon and if his license was from Oregon and he acquired his injury from Oregon then it’s possible that he might be originally from there or spent a significant amount of time there.
Jesse Burt Bishop died in the 2000’s before his victim had found his name.
Dental and Fingerprints are available.
