...food baskets a couple of times a month since 1998. Michael had been unemployed since falling ill; no one else made a living; the water pump for their decrepit home near Lake Pend Oreille had broken down. The kids, Sheriff Phil Jarvis believes, subsisted on lake water and "lily-pad soup." But even JoAnn knew to seek out Coffelt on that May 12. After all, he is the county coroner and funeral director.
