Summary
A man who recently appeared on local news seeking shelter during a heatwave is now charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of 25-year-old Jordan Harbst on Boise’s Greenbelt. Arrested at a downtown shelter where he was known to staff, Ross Allen Wardlaw Junior, or “RJ,” had been homeless since his 2012 prison release and carries a decades-long criminal record—including recent assault charges he was acquitted of in May. As he faces trial without bond, this case exposes the tangled intersection of homelessness and justice—while reminding us that even those seen as vulnerable can be drawn into the darkest corners of the law.
