Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : CASPER, Wyo. — An Amber Alert was issued by the Wyoming Highway Patrol on Friday for 10-month-old Zeke Gregory Best, who was reportedly abducted by his father, Jeremy Albert Best. Tragically, the search for the infant came to a devastating end on Saturday when the elder Best was arrested and Zeke was found deceased.
Jeremy Best was apprehended near Idaho Falls, Idaho, thanks to the vigilant efforts of a pair of hunters who promptly notified law enforcement after spotting a man in a sleeping bag on the side of the road. The man, later identified as Jeremy Best, was acting erratically and was found to be naked, making peculiar statements. It was soon revealed that Jeremy Best was also wanted by the Teton County Sheriff’s Office for the alleged murder of his wife, Kali Jean Randall.
Authorities discovered Jeremy Best’s vehicle in an embankment off the roadway, and tragically, his 10-month-old son Zeke was found lifeless at the scene. The Wyoming Highway Patrol issued a press release stating, “After a medical evaluation, Mr. Best was taken to the Bonneville County Jail and charged with the outstanding Teton County Warrant. Best will remain in custody until his arraignment before the court.”
