Patrick Shelton | Custer County Sheriff’s Office
Alan Douglas Bruce, 70, is charged with the first-degree murder of 47-year-old Patrick Shelton, as well as other felony charges: destruction of evidence, failure to notify of a death, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and an enhancement for being a persistent violator.
During the second search, Bruce reportedly showed an ISP detective a photo he had taken of Shelton after he shot him. The photo allegedly shows a “male body from the torso down sitting in Shelton’s Dodge truck.”
Deputies say the photo shows a silver colored pistol in the middle of the front seat. The metadata showed the photo was taken on Thursday at 6:25 a.m.
Bruce was arrested and booked into the Custer County Jail on a $1 million bond.
The Custer County Sheriff’s Office reported Wednesday that they were still searching the Salmon River for Shelton’s body.
Bruce is expected to appear for a preliminary hearing on May 27. If convicted, he could face the death penalty
