Murder
(Continued from Page 1)
hunters about 20 miles north of
Medora.
Huber is in custody at. the
Southwest Multi-County Correction
Center in Dickinson. As of press time
on Monday, Sept. 5. no court hear-
ings were set. but his first court
appearance was expected to be held
possibly Tuesday' or Wednesday.
The motive tbr the alleged crime
remained unclear as of Monday.
Radebaugh's acquaintances in
Belfield are considering it to be an'act
of domestic violence, and have tied
purple ribbons on signposts around
town to raise domestic violence
awareness.
Both Huber and Radebaugh
reportedly have lived in Belfield for
about a decade.
Court records show that Huber
faced a charge of possessing drug
paraphernalia in 2008, but that charge
was dismissed. He was convicted of a
class B misdemeanor charge of driv-
ing under the influence of alcohol.
also in 2008.
Huber's alleged involvement with
a murder seemed to come as a sur-
prise to some: he hadn't any recent,
major run-ins with the law or pending
charges. He was a carpenter by trade,
known for doing quality work. and
now and then helping a neighbor
clear away snow.
Radebaugh worked at the Dan's
Conoco station in Belfield, and also
at Dakota Community Bank in
Dickinson. She always seemed to
have a smile on her face, was friend-
ly, and she would greet her familiar
customers by name.
"She always looked the same -
never saw her grumpy or crabby. She
always radiated light," the Rev.
Roger Dieterle said at Radebaugh's
prayer service.
"She was friendly, al~ws friend-
ly," Belfield resident Naomi Urban
said the day after the alleged murder.
"It's just a horrible tragedy, it should-
n't have happened."
Her husband, Jeff Urban. whose
mother died last winter, said it's
tough losing a parent, but can't help
but feel for Radebaugh's daughter,
who.in a way has lost both parents at
the same time.
A scene involving a manhunt for
an alleged killer in Belfield appears to
have never happened before in
Belfield's history. Keith Newton died
south of Belfield last year when he
raised a gun and was shot by law
enforcement, but. he wasn't being
sought for murder. The town's previ-
ous two homicides date back to 1925
and 1915. Both involved domestic
situations.
In 1915. Mrs. C.W. Sylvester was
shot while trying to get a gun away
from her husband, and she later died.
according to an account in the
Fryburg Pioneer, which was located
by Belfield historian C.C. Thompson.
While on her deathbed, Mrs.
Sylvester signed a statement that the
shooting was not accidental, but that
her husband had done it on purpose.
The shooting happened in the
Belfield Times building, where the
Belfield Senior Center ~s now locat-
ed. said Thompson.
In 1925. according to a story in the
Belfield Review, Fred Geissler was
enraged with John Parrish. a man
who allegedly was having a relation-
ship with Geissler's wife. Geissler
reportedly entered Parrish's room in
the Brick Block building, while
Parrish was sleeping and only intend-
ed to stun him with a short piece of
gas pipe, Nat instead killed him. The
two-story Brick Block building is
now an apartment building on Main
Street.
