The sounds of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs are echoing through the buildings of the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds this week. The 78th Junior Livestock Show is in full swing.

Fluttering around the sounds of the farm is the sound of old friends re-connecting and new friendships being made. On the outside, the junior show appears to be all about the animals, but it is a cornucopia of smiles from hardworking kids and proud parents, sharp dressed cowgirls and cowboys with their perfectly trimmed steers, sheep wearing spandex and gleaming white goats looking for their next mouthful of alfalfa.

The Junior Show draws families from all across eastern Washington, north Idaho and western Montana.

“It's kind of a family tradition. My wife showed sheep and her dad before her,” said Eric Keller.

He and his wife have four children and raise sheep on their Deer Park ranch. Keller says the farm life is a way of life, one that helps build a strong foundation for their life.

Next week, a Deer Park man will stand trial for allegedly murdering his ex-wife, but Clay Starbuck wasn't the only man investigators and prosecutors considered a suspect in the case. Now, those other men will have to explain to a jury how they were cleared in the case and their testimony could reveal embarrassing details about their love life.

One of those men is John Kenlein,�a teacher and coach at Lewis and Clark High School. He admitted to investigators he was heavily involved in the online dating scene back in 2011. No one was supposed to know about that part of his life, but his secret rendezvous were uncovered when one of the women he was dating was murdered in her Deer Park home.

When Chanin Starbuck's body was found, detectives learned the recent divorcee had been involved in online dating. Homicide investigators asked that Starbuck's online suitors come forward; Kenlein was one of them.

"He immediately - using a pseudonym - contacted law enforcement," said Kenlein's attorney Bob Cossey. "When they contacted him and set up a meeting, he -- 100-percent, 110-percent -- cooperated completely."
