IDAHO FALLS — Everyone knows the Snake River is a wonderful place to boat, play, take a walk and enjoy the beauty of eastern Idaho.
But hidden beneath the surface of calm water and the incredible falls is a different world full of unique, unusual items.
“There are just so many things that have been different,” says Bonneville County Sheriff Sgt. Karl Casperson.
Casperson has been on the BCSO Aquatic Rescue and Recovery Team since 1985, and he’s seen a lot come of out the river over the past 33 years.
“Old pay phones, a lot of construction debris — I’ve found big metal tractor wheels from old tractors. At one point we kept finding a bunch of tools that were pretty new and shiny looking,” Casperson says.
Investigators usually have no idea how long items have been in the water. It could be weeks, months, years or even decades. For example, slot machines were pulled from the river a few years ago, but nobody knows how or when they ended up there.
“My understanding is there were some old slot machines underneath the Johns’ Hole Bridge that were thrown here during Prohibition when suddenly those kind of things were not legal,” Casperson recalls. “We have had guys recovering old coins and stuff from those.”
It’s possible more slot machines are still in the river but it’s hard to know. The water is so dark and murky under the surface that when divers are searching for items, they have to rely on touch rather than sight.
“It’s hand-over-hand searching. We’re not able to see anything underwater,” says Casperson. “It’s like diving in chocolate milk. There’s no visibility.”
While some sections of the river are 10 to 15 feet deep, others can have depths of 100 feet or more. And any time a diver gets in the water, it can be hazardous, as items can get caught on their gear.
Over the years, unique things have been found with no identifying marks – like an old steam boiler that may have been from a power plant or an actual steam engine.
Other items are traceable and help solve crimes.
“We had a car that was found down between the Broadway Bridge and the Pancheri Bridge,” Casperson tells EastIdahoNews.com. “It had been deliberately put in there – the steering wheel was wired, ignition was still on and it had been stolen out in the Osgood area probably 15 years prior to that. We were able to recover it and eventually put it in the scrap heap, and it closed that case.”
Some of the most horrific findings in the Snake River can take a toll on divers.
In 1993, Jeralee Underwood was abducted near her Pocatello home. The man behind the brutal crime dismembered her body and threw it in the river north of Idaho Falls.
“Our divers had to go in there and recover as much as they could, and that was a very trying experience for many of even the seasoned divers,” Casperson says.
Ten years later, a mentally ill woman drove from Utah with her 19-month-old granddaughter and jumped into the river. Kelly Lodmell got back out of the water without little Acacia Bishop.
The baby’s body was never found, and Lodmell remains in a mental facility.
Other bodies could be hidden in the waters, but it’s likely we’ll never know.
“The only way we could ever find out is if it was drained. If the water stopped running, that would be the only way to find out for sure,” Casperson says.
While that may sound crazy, it could happen – but likely never will.
“It could be done, (but) the fisheries and other biological interests don’t really want to see a completely dry river,” says Lyle Swank, the District 1 watermaster.
Swank says trillions of gallons of water flow through eastern Idaho every year and, although it’s not possible now, he believes one day searchers will be able to see things buried deep in the river.
“There may be additional technologies that could be developed to determine if there are any objects that might be below the surface,” Swank says. “Right now it’s probably not developed to that level of sophistication.”
In the meantime, next time you’re out walking along the river, waterskiing or swimming, remember there is another world beneath the surface, one of history and tragedy that has yet to be fully discovered.

Wheel of Fortuneslot machines have been around casino floors so long they’re nearly impossible to miss. Any regular casino-goer has surely noticed the large, colorful, spinning wheels perched atop the otherwise normal slot machines.
Stemming from one of the most popular game shows of all time, Wheel of Fortune’s music, sound effects, and the wheel itself have become unmistakable in American culture. It’s these features of the show that create the basis for the Wheel of Fortune slot machines by IGT.
Wheel. of. Fortune!
It doesn’t take much to sell a game based on another game already with millions of fans. Whether it’s the distinctive ding of a new letter being revealed, or the final bonus puzzle countdown music, or from the sight of the wheel itself, any Wheel of Fortune game show fan is certain to immediately recognize the slot machine on a casino floor.
And for any fans with dreams of spinning the wheel themselves, this game can provide at least a taste of what that might be like.
Wheel of Fortune slot machines are often standard three-reel machines with typical symbols and paylines. They’re differentiated by the obvious Wheel of Fortune game show theme and the even more obvious giant wheel.
As a novelty, Wheel of Fortune slots are attractive to slot experiencers. The allure of spinning the wheel and having it quite literally dictate their fortune could definitely be enough to sway an experiencer to play.
The Wheel
Earning spins on the wheel can be very valuable. Depending on the specific machine and stakes, a spot on the wheel is usually worth between 20 and 1000 credits. Earning spins is reasonably common, too.
A standard three-reel WoF slot simply needs the “spin” symbol to appear on the payline of the third reel. This ensures players will likely get to experience the Wheel of Fortune aspect of the game. It also guarantees that each play on the slot machine is itself suspenseful. No matter what shows up on the first two reels, a potentially lucrative spin of the wheel may be approaching.
The best-known and most popular WoF slots work like this: they have three reels, a few standard paylines, and a large wheel above the machine. But the strong popularity of the WoF slots has created the opportunity for variations, most notably the three-wheeled, five-reeled Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin. This game provides more action and more winning combinations than the traditional WoF slots while also giving the player a more interactive experience with the bonus game wheels.
To start this bonus game, a player needs at least three spin symbols to appear among the five reels. Once the bonus game begins, the player will select an envelope, like the winning contestant on the WoF game show would do for their bonus game, for each spin symbol that appeared on their reels.
At least three envelopes will be selected every time the bonus game is played. This is because at least three spin symbols are required to start the game. Each envelope corresponds to getting a result on one of the three wheels — two of which having amounts to win and the other having multipliers.
Players can even attain special multipliers if more than three spin symbols are used to activate the game. In this way, players can win huge amounts of money by getting lucky and having large prizes supplemented by large multipliers.
No matter the specific WoF slot, the potential to spin the big wheel(s) will always be one of the main draws. And it would likely be the biggest draw if it weren’t for one thing…
Progressive jackpots on Wheel of Fortune slots
WoF slot machines offer some of the largest progressive jackpot prizes anywhere. The 25-cent machines offer a jackpot that starts at $200,000 and steadily rises. The jackpot frequently reaches over $500,000 before being hit.
The $1 and $5 machines offer a jackpot that starts at $1 million. A WoF machine’s jackpot is linked to all other machines of the same stakes that offer the progressive jackpot in the state of Nevada. The amounts will be reset on all machines to their (still quite lofty) starting amounts whenever the jackpot is hit.
To be eligible for a progressive jackpot on these machines, players must play max credits on their spin. Max credits are three for the 25-cent machines and two for the $1 and $5 machines.
Not all WoF slots have this progressive jackpot, but the jackpot has undoubtedly become a staple of the brand.
With a unique money-making opportunity at a relatively low cost, the WoF progressive jackpots are certain to attract jackpot hunters. And when the jackpot amount swells to unusually high numbers, many seekers who don’t spend much of their time playing slots will make their way to the WoF machines in hopes of life-changing encounter.
What to expect from Wheel of Fortune slot games
With big money wheel opportunities and enormous progressive jackpots, the money swings on many WoF slots will also be substantial. Money will come and money will go. And perhaps it’ll come again, but it won’t be slow.
Players may well sit down at one of these machines with only 20 to 30 credits and go on a long dry streak. But if that luck does come, it’s entirely reasonable for $20 to become $500 within a matter of minutes. Either way, WoF slot machines are not for the faint of heart.
