Synopsis

Richard Holmes was a small town boy who grew up to be a big time drug dealer. He was a talented man who longed for wealth and respect. He tried his hand at a legitimate business, but when his daughter was injured, he needed a quicker way to make a lot of money to pay for costly surgery. When he discovered how quick and easy it was to earn the money to pay the doctor, Richard decided to stick with selling drugs. Eventually drug dealing caught up with him and Richard ended up in jail. His arrest led to the disappearance of a police informant and charges of conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder. The lead detective in charge of the bust felt such an overwhelming sense of guilt over the woman's disappearance that he became obsessed with finding her. As clues began to surface in the case, people throughout Idaho and across the nation became stunned and outraged. While incarcerated at an Idaho State Penitentiary, Richard was tormented and brutally stabbed to death as guards stood outside watching. One of the men who was convicted of the slaying was Rodney "Shorty" Araiza, who, more than twenty years later, claims that he was set up to take the fall. At times this story story will make you smile, but will mostly make you angry and break your heart. I hope that sharing this tragic story can help others realize the damaging effects drug use can have on them and their loved ones.
