Idaho authorities say they're working around the clock to find those responsible for a 'heinous' triple murder at a rural home in the Boise foothills. One man has been arrested on theft counts.'When I say this crime is heinous, that is probably an understatement,' Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney said on Wednesday. 'Somebody who violently, without cause, without any provocation that I know of, killed three innocent people. We are working 24 hours a day with everything we've got to put that person in jail.'A 22-year-old Nampa man arrested on Wednesday is accused of grand theft and forgery but not murder, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
