Police said before he disappeared, he had been contacted by two bail bondsmen. They said there is evidence that he then ran from a residence located on S. Loggers Pond Pl., to the bank of the river, where he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound before falling into the water. A BPD information officer told KTVB that they saw him go under the Parkcenter Bridge.
Police searched but could not find him, although the Boise Fire dive team did find a firearm in water off the shoreline. They did not find any evidence indicating he was the victim of foul play.
Glass was found submerged in the river by an Ada County Sheriff's Office dive member who was doing snorkeling training.
The Ada County Coroner's Office said the investigation is ongoing, and they will release more information as it becomes available.
