BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho sheriff has appealed for help from the public to determine what might connect a slain former Arizona power company executive, his wife and adult son to a 22-year-old man who prosecutors say was arrested with credit cards linked to the murder victims.
Bail was set at $2 million Thursday for Adam M. Dees of Nampa, who faces three counts of grand theft, three counts of forgery and a misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. The 9 mm handgun was found tucked into Dees' waistband, prosecutors said, without disclosing whether it was linked to the killings.

The victims found Tuesday in a home in the foothills outside Boise have been identified as 80-year-old Theodore M. Welp, 77-year-old Delores Elaine Welp and their son, 52-year-old Thomas P. Welp. No motive or causes of death were released.
Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney has said the killings were the most violent he had seen in three decades in law enforcement. In addition to asking for help in determining a possible connection between Dees and the Welps, authorities were looking for information on a wedding ring they believe Dees tried to sell. They didn't know if it was connected to the killings.
