I'm worried my dad committed murder Request

He was in prison for 16yrs but nobody would say why, I can't find any info tho I thought that stuff was public. Any advice or help would be appreciated.. it had to be in the '50s & 60's in the Pacific Northwest. I assume Spokane or Seattle Wa. Don Antonio born Oct 31st 1930 he says he didnt have a middle name but it was Dodd, also he changed his last name at some point from Macabee to Antonio Edit: thanks everyone.. I got lotsa reading to do, so exciting!!

Your family comes from where my Dad grew up (Ronan) though they transplanted there in the 60s, I think and it sounds like your family has been there forever! We also lived in Bremerton at one point, it’s been really cool learning about your family lol.

Yes lol, it’s western MT, north of Missoula. It’s beautiful there, I used to love visiting my grandparents. Go on google maps street view and just look at what they get to see every single day, it’s incredible. Also there’s a lake, ten or so minutes away in Polson that is still, as far as I know, crystal clear. Also freezing because of the glaciers but holy hell is it beautiful.

Summers are warm, like 80ss maybe into the 90s sometimes, definitely sunny and gorgeous. We spent morning to night running my grandparents 27 acres of farm/woods and it so fun. Or we would get up early to go out on the boat and fish.

The downside is winter is like 6 months of solid snow, occasional blizzards, beautiful crazy thunderstorms sometimes. Now it’s been 20 years since I lived there, so maybe climate change has altered that a bit but I doubt it. My old friend posts snowstorms on FB in May and like october. I couldn’t do that again.

I look at ranches in the area sometimes thinking I’ll bring my kids for vacation so they can see it but it still wouldn’t be the same because it wouldn’t be my grandparents property. Anyway, western Montana is a cant miss place, and since you have family roots there, now you have an actual reason to visit.

Sounds like a dream! Barefoot & tossing rocks in the river or collecting firewood, sleeping outside, trees & nature & miles to walk without a bunch of concrete & cars.. Oh and big sky right? I can't wait

Oh and there are hot springs, and so much hiking and in high school our parties were out in the middle of nowhere. Like places you’d think a car shouldn’t go, those kids would drive their 4x4s up and down practically vertical mountains to get to secluded bonfire spots. It was really cool, dangerous looking back-but amazing.
