Chase Chandler

24-year-old Chase Chandler originally was set to go to trial for second-degree murder this week. That date was vacated and a pretrial was set for June 21st, followed by jury trial Aug. 1st.

Chandler is charged in connection with the Sept. 26th death of 24-year-old Wayne Hodges of Orofino.

Chandler is accused of striking Hodges in the head with a blunt instrument or club, sufficient enough to cause cranial fractures and death. Hodges’ body was discovered a short distance away from a camper that had burned at an undeveloped campground near Lolo Creek in Idaho County. (Lewiston Tribune)
