And thank you & @ReadySet for your work!

It makes me sad there wasn’t more news coverage, but I’m so grateful there was finally justice for Daralyn & her loved ones with the conviction.

I too am surprised that there was more coverage - for case this old - you would think it would have had more articles.

Sept. 6, 2024
The man recently convicted of raping and killing a 9-year-old Nampa girl in 1982 will spend the rest of his life in prison. David Dalrymple, 66, was sentenced to consecutive life terms Friday by 3rd District Judge Thomas Whitney, who called Dalrymple’s crimes “heinous in the extreme,” according to a news release from the Canyon County Prosecutor’s Office.

Whitney said that Dalrymple, who spent two decades behind bars after committing several violent crimes, was “a remorseless, repeat, violent sexual abuser of children ... incapable of rehabilitation.” By imposing a sentence with no possibility of parole, the judge said he could ensure that Dalrymple never attacks a child again.
