Murder victim William "Bo" Kirk's sister spoke to The Press this morning about the family's reaction to the arrest of suspect David Earl Hutto.

"We don't believe there's any connection — not that we're aware of," said Claudia Jackson, of Spokane Valley. "When (Hutto's) name was released, I had no idea (of who he is) and I don't think my brother did either."

Hutto was arrested  Friday night at the Burger King on Appleway Avenue in Coeur d'Alene and booked into the Kootenai County Jail on a second-degree murder charge. 

A second suspect was arrested earlier in the day and is being held in federal custody on charges related to the homicide, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office. The second individual's identity and arrest information has not yet been released.

"Since the second suspect is in federal custody, we cannot release any information at this time," Sheriff Ben Wolfinger said. 

The cause of Kirk's death has not been released.

"The court sealed the file, so the information is not releasable at this time," Wolfinger said. 

On the evening of Oct. 22, Kirk, 41, Coeur d'Alene, went missing after working his shift at Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls. 

Later that night, surveillance captured two people in what law enforcement believes was Kirk's truck at two bank drive-thrus in Dalton Gardens and Hayden. The driver used Kirk's debit card to withdraw an undisclosed amount of cash in three separate transactions.

Still later that same evening, Kirk's truck was found on fire in the 23000 block of North Rimrock Road in the north part of Kootenai County. 

Kirk's body was found Tuesday near the Hayden Creek Shooting Range northeast of Hayden Lake in the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. 

"Unless (law enforcement) knows more than they are saying, at this point, just from what I've seen on the news, it looks like it was random," Jackson said. "They haven't released the cause or manner of death, which is hard because you want to know. I just need to know if he suffered or not."

Investigators have said they believe that there are no other suspects in the case. Jackson said the family hasn't been provided the name of the second suspect.

Jackson said she was surprised at how quick the arrests were made.

"We want to thank the entire community and all the law enforcement involved because, without their help, we wouldn't be here (in the investigation) right now," she said. "Hopefully they have the right people in custody and they'll be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. (The arrests) give us closure that they're still not out walking around. It doesn't make it any easier, but it does give us some closure."

Kirk, who graduated from Priest River Lamanna High School in 1993, is survived by his wife Amanda and their three children.

"He loved his family and friends," Jackson said. "If he was not at work or golfing, he was with family and friends. He did whatever he could to make you laugh and had nicknames for a lot of people." 

Kirk worked as an X-ray technician at Northwest Specialty since 2012. 

A celebration of life for Kirk will be held on Saturday from 3 p.m. to until it's finished at Quail Run Ranch, 506 N. Quail Ave., in Newport.

A benefit account for the family of Kirk has been set up at all area Spokane Teachers Credit Union branches.

"The community's outpouring support has been amazing," Jackson said. "We're suffering the loss, but the community is suffering the loss with us. People who don't even know me have been reaching out. I can't imagine going through something like this without having the community support."
