The day of Michael's disappearance???

There are two additional suspects. Brandon Shurtlett and Adrian Lucien. Remember Sarah mentioned Adrian when she was arrested. These two people lived with them at the time of Michael's disappearance. Brandon appears in a video on Sarah's channel with the dog.

Thank you for answering. I do remember that now!

I wonder what brought them all together in that house. Sounds like at least one was living there with S&S. But what was tying them together. At least with so many mentioned, some one of them will make a deal.

Imo

lots of info to digest, a dog would hit if remains had been there correct? to support the fact remains had been moved?
so many involved should be possible someone will turn on the others, hopefully quickly, The poor parents.

Yes! And how does Michael fit into this... and why? Ugh. My inquring mind is a curse.

 

[iamnotagolem]

This is the weirdest case. I don't even know what to think, I can't even come up with a theory at this point.

Ditto that. They named 4 people believed to be involved in the abduction, with others thought to be involved. What the hey.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

What's the gist from the PC? Now there are multiple POIs?

No human remains found at Fruitland home at the center of search for missing Michael Vaughan

After more than a week of search efforts in a Fruitland backyard, authorities say they did not find the remains of missing Fruitland boy Michael Vaughan.

They didn't use that exact term, Alethea.

A Year Without Michael...

Old article... wondering if this is one of the new named individuals....

WHAT did these people DO?????

[Elliot_Alderson]

I'm kind of confused and admittedly not familiar with this case. These 4 people have no connection to the child or his family? What's the motive?

I'm more worried that it'll turn out that none of them had anything to do with it.

IMO, crime of opportunity, sadly. Little Michael was wandering the neighborhood and came in contact with pure evil.

Weird. It looks like the one guy has a tattoo under his hairline that maybe happened when his head may have been shaved. Is that a thing?

 

[NuttMegg]

I'm more worried that it'll turn out that none of them had anything to do with it.

i don't know, do you think they would name those additional people without anything substantive, even though they aren't sharing much else?

Unless there was meth involved, I'm having a hard time understanding how 4 people just up and decide to murder a 5 year old one day and then none of them talk about it until the couple gets into a fight.

If meth was involved then all bets are off.

Update: The investigation of the Disappearance of Michael Joseph Vaughan

To date, Fruitland Police investigators believe that there are four individuals involved in the abduction of Michael Vaughan. Two of the individuals are in custody, Sarah and Stacey Wondra. The following two individuals are needed for questioning:

Brandon Shurtliff, 30, of Kuna, Idaho. He is currently believed to be in North Dakota. Adrien Lucienne, 32, a male, of Toledo, Ohio. He is currently believed to be in Toeldo, but floats between California and Ohio. We believe that both Shurtliff and Lucienne have first-hand knowledge of Michael’s abduction.

Fruitland police strongly encourage Shurtliff and Lucienne to contact detectives at (208) 452-3000 as the window of time for talking is closing. This remains an ongoing investigation with conversations taking place with the Payette County Prosecutor’s Office about the individuals involved.

Currently Sarah Wondra, 35, is being held in the Payette County Jail for failing to report a death to law enforcement. Stacey Wondra, 30, is currently being held in the Washington County Jail on unrelated charges.

The Wondras live at 1102 Redwing St. in Fruitland and were living there at the time of Michael’s disappearance. We believe that Sarah and Stacey have first-hand knowledge of Michael’s abduction.

Others associated with the Wondra’s, Shurtliff, and Lucienne, may also have knowledge of the abduction of Michael. They are highly encouraged to come forward to speak with detectives.
During the course of the investigation, we received credible information that the remains of Michael Vaughan could be found in the backyard of 1102 Redwing Street in Fruitland.

The Fruitland Police Department obtained a search warrant for the residence along with the front and back yards. The search warrant was served on Nov. 11. Upon entry, officers encountered Sarah Wondra. She was subsequently arrested based on probable cause that she had knowledge of Michael’s death and failed to report the death to law enforcement. The following day, the Fruitland Police Department joined by the Idaho State Police, Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue, Fruitland Fire Department, and the Fruitland Public Works Department, began a methodical excavation of the back yard of Wondra’s home.

During that excavation process, Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue and Mountain States Detection Dogs deployed multiple Certified Human Remains Detection K9’s on the property, all alerting to the presence of human remains. Ground penetrating radar was also deployed, detecting anomalies in the yard. We completed the excavation to a depth of four feet of the entire back yard and removed over 250 yards of dirt. Prior to backfilling the yard, the dirt was meticulously sifted for any potential human remains. We did not find Michael’s remains.

Investigators strongly believe that, based on the evidence, Michael was abducted and is deceased, and that his remains were buried and later moved from the property. As of today, the whereabouts of his remains are unknown. However, the investigation is active, fluid and ongoing.

A search of the Wondra residence was productive and additional investigative evidence was recovered and is being processed.

To date, the Fruitland Police Department has received over 1,500 tips and leads. We continue to ask our community for support and patience as we continue to aggressively work this case. We also ask that the Vaughan family’s privacy continue to be respected.
Tips can be sent to the Fruitland Police Department (208) 452-3110, Tipsters may remain anonymous, findmichael@fruitland.org or to Crime Stoppers, 343COPS.com.

The Fruitland Police Department extends its sincere thanks to all of the agencies, businesses, and the public who helped over the course of this ongoing. The agencies involved included: the Idaho State Police, FBI, Payette Police Department, Payette County Prosecutor’s Office, Ada County Sheriff’s Office, Boise Police Department, the Cold Case Foundation, Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue, Mountain State Detection K9’s, Fruitland Fire Department, Fruitland Public Works Department, Boise State University, Western States Rental, Clay Peak Landfill, IRVCO Sand and Gravel, the Black Cow Café and Mercantile, Idaho Pizza Company, and Jack Henry Coffee, and all others who donated time and resources during this phase of our investigation.

I am wondering if possibly little guy saw something he shouldn't have or they thought he saw something

Wow, that was pretty thorough, thank you for posting it. So all four individuals "have first-hand knowledge" of the abduction of Michael. So someone in that house kidnapped and killed Michael and the others either 1) knew, 2) were also involved, or 3) learned after the fact and failed to report it.

It is interesting that they are not singling out any one person. Would they release the names of the other two "involved" people without first locating and arresting them if they thought one of them was the actual murderer?

Sounds to me like they are trying to scare the heck out of the newly-named individuals. I suspect LE knows exactly where they are. LE all but offered them a deal to come forward and spill the beans.
