BOZEMAN — On Friday, Jan. 12, police in Idaho Falls, Idaho arrested a man who was found with the motorhome Bozeman Police have been seeking in connection with the disappearance of 34-year-old Megan Ashley Stedman.
According to an Idaho Falls Police press release, a witness contacted officers after recognizing the motorhome parked on a city street. Officers located the vehicle and made contact with Chris Foiles, a 42-year-old resident of Spokane, Washington.
Foiles was detained while investigators searched the motorhome. The release said the motorhome contained “evidence to support arresting Foiles with Murder in the First Degree.”
