@isarodrigue.z The recent murder on the Boise Greenbelt is absolutely heartbreaking. In my opinion, the changes Idaho has experienced over the years have made places that once felt safe feel different. As a woman, I no longer feel comfortable walking the Greenbelt alone. My prayers are with the victim and their family. #idaho #boisegreenbelt #boiseriver #boise #california ♬ original sound - Flower
