Man Charged with Killing Former Landlord, Missoula Woman

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A transient from Billings is charged with killing his former landlord in Miles City and a housekeeper at a Missoula motel before fleeing to Idaho. The Missoula County attorney's office charged 37-year-old Scott Austin Price on Thursday with deliberate homicide in the death of motel employee Lonette Keehner and attempted deliberate homicide for stabbing a woman at a Missoula grocery store on Monday.

Custer County prosecutors charged Price with killing 87-year-old Ed Martin on Dec. 14. Price was arrested in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Tuesday along with co-defendant 32-year-old Sarah Rae McKnight of Trout Creek.

Both remain jailed in Idaho. An officer there said he didn't know if they had attorneys. McNight is charged in Missoula County with deliberate homicide, accountability for attempted deliberate homicide and conspiracy to commit aggravated kidnapping.
