Hally, with the Asotin County Sheriff's Office, argued at Monday's federal detention hearing in Coeur d'Alene that Capone, who is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, remain behind bars.
"We provided information which we believe shows Capone would be a flight risk," said Hally. "He had provided information to a former wife of his that he had planned to sell his shop and move to Arizona. Then we also addressed statements Rachael Anderson had made to me on April 13th, regarding an alleged attempt that Charles Capone had attempted to strangle her."
Hally is the lead investigator for the task force looking into the disappearance of Anderson. Capone is her estranged husband.
She filed for divorce in January and has been missing since April 16. In court documents, an ATF agent names Capone as a person of interest in Anderson's disappearance. But Hally said the task force has yet to do the same.
"We have not focused the investigation on one single individual, that ensures that we aren't missing things," said Hally. "He is certainly somebody that we're talking to, but there are several others as well. So the task force, neither myself or any other members, have identified him specifically as a person of interest."
Hally said friends and family of Capone wrote letters on his behalf to be presented at the detention hearing. Also in the courtroom at Monday's hearing were friends and family of Rachael Anderson.
Hally said Capone seemed subdued and attentive at the hearing, but did not speak. No word yet on when Capone's next court date will be.
