BOISE -- The Nampa man accused of murdering one woman, raping another and sexually assaulting two girls faces an Aug. 4 preliminary hearing.
Darrell Payne, 34, is being held without bond.
He appeared in Ada County Magistrate Court on Friday to be formally charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery and rape. He had been jailed until Thursday in Eugene, Ore., where he fled after the death of 22-year-old Samantha Maher.
Payne is accused of kidnapping and murdering Maher on July 6. He also allegedly raped a 39-year-old Boise woman at an apartment complex on June 8 and sexually assaulted two 14-year-old girls June 27 in Boise.
Investigators believe Payne assaulted and killed Maher later the same day he abducted her and dumped her body behind his rural Nampa-area home. He then fled to Eugene, where he called his wife on July 8, saying he felt suicidal and had killed a woman, authorities said.
His wife called Canyon County sheriff's deputies, who contacted Eugene police. They arrested Payne later that day at a motel.
