New wrinkle in death of Perfect family


Idaho's NewsChannel 7 is reporting that "toxicology results indicate the presence of methamphetamine in Tony Perfect’s blood stream." Boise residents will recall that Tony, Stephany, and baby Zoe Perfect were killed when the car they were driving was hit on Highway 55 by a racing pickup truck piloted by one Mark Lazinka. Though Lazinka was racing Boise State football player Cam Hall at the time of the accident, the incident is being referred to as being caused by "road rage". It is not clear who is presumed to have been enraged, though it seems unlikely to this reporter that Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney is engaging in postmortem speculation on the motives of any of the Perfects.
