Show Murderer bound over, first in 73 years by Bill Kurr MANILA Circuit Judge Whitney Hammond bound over Teresa Lynn Hooser on a charge of second degree murder last Wednesday, ending 73 years without a reported murder in this area. The death of Horton Truman (Troy) Hooser became the first reported murder since Daggett became a county in 1918, and according to historical references, the first murder in the Daggett Dag-gett area since the death of John Jarvie in Brown's Park in July of 1909. History records that John Jarvie was the owner of a general mercantile store on the Green River in Browns Park. One July day two itinerant workers entered his store and robbed it, killing Jarvie in the process. John Jarvies son tracked the two men to Montpelier, Idaho, where he intended to have them arrested. The two men threw him out of a second story window in a motel, killing kill-ing him and allowing them a safe escape. John Jarvie was the great grandfather of the present Daggett County Sheriff, Gaylen Jarvie. That murder of John Jarvie was the last of this most violent crime until the charge if 2nd degree murder was levied against Teresa Lynn Hooser on April 21, 1982. Last Feb. 7, Sheriff Gaylen Jarvie responded to a call at the Hooser home where he found Troy Hooser , dead. Mr. Hooser had been shot in the ! chest by a small caliber handgun and Teresa Lynn Hooser was taken into custody on a charge of 2nd degree murder. She was later released on bail of $5000. Her trial date has not yet been set. In a strange twist of fate the efforts of a law enforcement officer by the name of Jarvie, in the 1982, may somehow hold the scales even for the death in 1909 of an innocent man named Jarvie. |
