SANDPOINT — Jim Turpin of Post Falls is still haunted by a murder that occurred when he was only 4 years old.

Now 80, he still finds himself thinking about that day — April 25, 1939 — almost daily. On that fateful evening, his uncle, James Turpin, was killed by a mysterious gunman in a robbery gone wrong. The slaying is a cold case more than 70 years old, and throughout that time, Turpin has spent his life wondering who the murderer was and how he lived his life.
