Undersheriff is the assistant to the Sheriff (which, in this County, is an
elected office).

There is another... and interesting... article about this here:
http://www.columbiabasinherald.com/articles/2010/03/04/news/doc4b8da4eca50b1612056940.txt

Apparently the culprit kidnapped an out-of-town construction worker who was
staying at a local motel along with a female. The female was originally
thought to be another victim of the kidnapping but turned out to be an
accomplice (although did not, apparently, jump in the lake).

They forced the construction worker to buy them some stuff at Wal-Mart and
then took him back to his motel and released him. Not quite candidates for
the Darwin Award but I'm guessing they'll make another try once they get out
of jail because they didn't think the guy would call the cops. They stopped
for a bite to eat at a Denny's next to the freeway where cops found them
with the Wal-Mart loot still in the car.

Never a dull moment in Moses Lake.
