After they both passed out from a joint laced with fentanyl, the surviving man recalled “waking up to his best friend being stabbed” in the backseat of the killer’s vehicle … and detailed his dramatic escape.
A man who initially appeared to be a Good Samaritan offering free meals for two unhoused men in Idaho has been sentenced to life in prison after he allegedly drugged the pair with fentanyl and stabbed one to death as the other watched.
28-year-old Dallas Brower pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of Justin Friesner, 24, earlier this year. Last week, according to The Idaho Statesman , he was sentenced to life in prison for murder and five years for assault; he’ll be eligible for parole in 25 years.
According to accounts from prosecutors and witness testimony, Friesner and Cameron Russell were trying to sleep at a Boise bus stop on July 23, 2023, when Brower approached and offered to take them to breakfast. Taking Brower up on the offer, the pair then went with him to a nearby IHOP, had a hot meal, and then returned to his vehicle, per Ada County Deputy Prosecutor Katelyn Farley.
