No Bail For CdA Murder Suspect

Update: Meghann Cuniff's story

Murder suspect Juan C. Aldana Villanueva, 22, a Honduran living in Post Falls, will continue to be held without bond in the Kootenai County Jail, following his first appearance in court this afternoon. Although Marty Rapp of the prosecutor's office asked that bail be set at $1 million, Judge Jim Stow refused to set bail for Villanueva, who is considered a flight risk. The prosecutor's office doesn't know whether or not Villanueva is a legal immigrant. It couldn't find a Social Security number for him. Villanueva, whose car is registered in Washington, was described as a "hard worker" who sends money home by a woman who considered himself to be his "American mother." Villanueva is accused of gunning down Coeur d'Alene Tribe member Timothy I. Wolfe, 21, of Worley, after 2 a.m. Saturday at 3rd and Indiana after a confrontation at a Coeur d'Alene bar.
