Did former Utahn Gerald Michael Bullinger kill his wife, as well his girlfriend and her teenage daughter, at an Idaho farmhouse this summer because the women discovered he was cheating on them?

That’s what the relative of one of the three victims believes may have prompted the shootings.

The bodies of Bullinger’s wife, 57-year-old Cheryl Baker, his girlfriend, 48-year-old Nadja Medley, and Medley’s 14-year-old daughter, Payton Medley, were found beneath a tarp in a shed behind the house in Caldwell, Idaho, on June 19.

Police have since launched a nationwide hunt for Bullinger, 60, who is charged with three counts of first-degree felony murder, according to Canyon County police, as well as a felony count of failing to report a death.
