The Truck in the Lower Valley: The Murder of Stanley Brader

On June 4, 2017, a burning truck was found abandoned in Wapato. When police traced the registration back to a home in West Valley, they expected to find a victim of car theft. Instead, they found a brutal crime scene. 59-year-old Stanley Brader had been murdered on his own property. Despite evidence of multiple attackers and a very specific, disturbing crime scene, the case has sat cold for years. Today, we break down the autopsy findings, the movements of that stolen truck, and the plea from a family who feels the justice system has moved too slowly.
