i County Against Letting Man Out of Jail SL Detectives Seek Clues On Idaho Killer 4B The Salt Lake Tribune Saturday April 30 1988 Some Mental Health Audits Destroyed Auditor Says to explain Binick's disappearance to Maryland officials when they come to take him back to BaitL-rnore to stand trial State's attorney Mark Cohen said from his Baltimore office that a Maryland grand jury issued an indictment on Thursday charging Bmick with homicide He said he has been waiting for the formal indictment before preparing the papers requesting Binick extradition to Maryland Mr Hatch told the judge that Binick has shown that he is not a flight risk The defendant turned himself after keeping his identity secret for a dozen years Mr Hatch said He said Binick decided to turn himself in after spending time at a Catholic monastery near Huntsville Utah have information that Mr Binick turned himself in only because he knew the FBI was closing in on him so he decided to surrender to avoid being arrested" said Mr Ellett "I don't care what that man over there says said Binick pointing his finger at Mr Ellett know why I turned myself in I was tired of looking over niv shoulder for 13 years and I wanted to get it over with Binick said he could have fled again had lie wanted to knew who I was My wife doln even know who I was" Continued From B-l 200 people have indicated they would help financially toward a defense fund for Binick once he stands trial in Maryland But Friday Binick was asking to be released from jail his home since March 14 when he turned himself into the FBI After a morning hearing Judge VanSeiver asked the staff of Pre-Trial Services to evaluate Binick and give her a recommendation by the afternoon At the afternoon hearing the judge decided she still lacked enough information and told Binick he would remain in jail over the weekend while she reviewed more material She said she would decide on the release request on Monday "What concerns us is that he changed his name and obtained another Social Security number after he fled said Deputy Salt Lake County Attorney Bud Ellett has shown that he has the ability and the creativity to change his identity again" Mr Ellett said we let him out of jail now Fm afraid we will be looking for a man with another identity and another Social Security number in another state" Mr Ellett said Utah prosecutors would be "hard Continued From B-l Health so that the latter center could build a new office and day treatment facility Bear River is a private non-profit corporation Although Bear River reimbursed Salt Lake County Mr Day said the transaction was akin to a government agency giving a private corporation a no-interest loan (Salt Lake has since become a private nonprofit corporation as well) Mr Day reported that Bear River also paid for construction costs by building up its own surplus fund Legislature appropriated funds for cost of services to clients! and not capital wrote Mr Day appears that costs of services have been established far above actual costs allowing for large fund balances expansion In an audit of the Four-Corners Mental Health Center Mr Day reported that employees at the center had formed a non-profit organization Achievement Corp the sole purpose of obtaining real The corporation owns Achievement House a youth group home in Carbonville employees formed a second non-profit corporation to build a federally-approved 12-plex apartment complex to be constructed this fall to house mental health patients employee has earned any money from either said Four director James Whear welcome any audits of what we've done Mr Whear said the first corporation was formed after owners of the youth home wanted to sell the facility we couldn't find any other He said that rents charged at the youth home are below fair market value Mr Whear said the second corporation was set up to obtain federal financing But Mr Day says that an arrangement in which center employees buy facilities and then lease them back to their place of employment is conflict of interest" Surplus funds at the state mental health centers totaled $889000 last year Balances were reported at Bear River Davis South West Four Corners and Uinta Basin In 1980 five mental health centers reported fund balances totaling $708500 and in 1985 fund balances at eight mental health centers totaled $14 million Except for Timpanogos Mental Health the state's mental health centers are privately owned Mr third report located by Social Services questioned how Central Utah Mental Health had used fund balances to buy vehicles computers a new phone system and a refrigerator Mr Day said that the money should have been used to hire a psychiatrist for client services hospital treatment drugs and medical care State officials say arrangements involving employees at the mental health centers do not involve misuse of public funds as Legislative auditors uncovered at Timpanogos Mental Health

not only a killer but is an alleged drug user and seller and a thief and burglar Another Wyoming homicide possibly attributable to Rhoades involved the murder of 27-year-old Sharlene Severyn at a Maverick Service Station in Gillette Wyo in July 1983 That like the Maxwell homicide is strikingly similar to the killings Rhoades has been convicted of in Idaho Rhoades also was an accomplished burglar another reason detectives believe he may have been involved in some of the Utah killings Detective Bell noted there were a series of burglaries in Lisa Strong's neighborhood shortly before she was killed Those crimes stopped suddenly after her murder he said Detective Bell admits that the evidence is circumstantial He also says Rhoades is the best suspect the task force has had since its inception in the summer of 1986 That is saying a lot since the task force has looked at more than 6000 people since it was established Detective Bell said He acknowledges some people may be afraid to testify about Rhoades but the detective points out that Rhoades is currently under four death penalties on Idaho's death row He was convicted and sentenced to death for the murders of Stacy Dawn Baldwin who disappeared from a Blackfoot convenience store Feb 28 1987 She was found at a dump shot to death the following day Rhoades also was sentenced to die for the March 19 kidnap rape and murder of Susan Michelbacher 31 an Idaho Falls school teacher abducted from a grocery store parking lot He pleaded guilty to the murder of Nolan Haddon an Idaho Falls convenience store clerk who was forced
