Couple Issues Intimidating 277-Page ‘Kill List’, Police Report

An Idaho couple is behind bars after they allegedly sent out a 277-page “kill list” containing names of people, including police officers and their families, whom they wanted to murder.

Jonathan Harms, 43, and his 39-year-old wife Jolene Harms face a combine 120 criminal charges, court records show. They face 20 counts each of first-degree stalking, witness intimidation in a criminal case and witness intimidation in a civil matter. Boise police began investigating in July when it received reports of the Harms’ violating protection orders. The protected parties allegedly received a “large document containing threatening language.”

Cops say the alleged document, which reportedly stated an intention to “go, hunt, kill,” was sent to people locally and throughout the country. Police originally arrested Jonathan Harms on two counts of stalking. Further investigation revealed that Jolene Harms also threatened a local police officer and their family.

Jolene Harms was originally arrested on misdemeanor telecommunication harassment. According to the Idaho Statesman, she told the police officer’s wife that if her husband didn’t talk to Jonathan Harms, their “whole family was going to die” and their kids would be “slaughtered,” per cops.

“Seriously, I’m going to kill your children,” she allegedly texted the cop’s wife.

Jolene Harms reportedly pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charges and was sentenced to a year probation.

Prosecutors say the couple continued talking about their so-called kill list while Jonathan Harms was in jail on the original charges. Local NBC affiliate KTVB reports many of the people on the list are members of a Boise-area church in which the Harms’ were excommunicated. The members were “frankly terrified” that the suspects would carry out their threats as cops recovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition at the Harms home.

Jonathan Harms also allegedly claimed to be the “crown prince of heaven.” His wife sent out more threatening messages via social media between Aug. 7 and Wednesday, police say.

Both suspects remain in the Ada County Jail on a $15 million bond.
