TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A Twin Falls man charged with first-degree murder in the strangulation death of a 20-year-old woman has been declared mentally incompetent.
A judge on Wednesday ordered 45-year-old Glen Joseph Tures to be sent to a secure mental health facility run by the Idaho Department of Correction.
He'll be evaluated after 90 days to determine if he's mentally fit enough for the case to proceed.
Authorities say that Tures in August entered the Twin Falls Police Department and on his own volition confessed to killing Anessia Shaye Winterholer of Twin Falls a few days earlier.
Police say Tures told detectives accurate details about the scene where the killing took place.
Police haven't provided a motive, but note that Tures lived less than two blocks from where Winterholer's body was found.
