Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : Tragic Conclusion to Manhunt for Idaho Man Wanted for Disappearance of 10-Month-Old Boy and Murder of Wife
In a devastating turn of events, the manhunt for an Idaho man wanted for the disappearance of a 10-month-old boy and the murder of his wife has come to a tragic end. The authorities responded to a call from individuals who were hunting on Kepps Crossing Road, east of Idaho Falls, and made a shocking discovery. They found 45-year-old Jeremy Albert Best, the suspect, lying in a sleeping bag on the side of the road.
Best had been wanted by the Teton County Sheriff’s Office in connection with the homicide of his 38-year-old wife, Kali Jean Randall, which occurred on November 30. After securing Best and placing him in a patrol car, officers found his vehicle on a nearby embankment off the roadway. To their horror, they also discovered the lifeless body of his 10-month-old son, Zeke Best.
Once Best was medically cleared, he was taken into custody and transported to the Bonneville County Jail. He will remain incarcerated until his arraignment as the investigation continues. The manhunt had commenced on Thursday night after the Teton County Sheriff’s Office received a distressing 911 call from a residence in Victor, Idaho. When deputies arrived at Randall’s home, they found her unresponsive and declared her deceased. Investigators believe Best killed his wife before fleeing with their son in a black 1995 Chevy Tahoe.
In a disturbing development, it was revealed that Best had been sighted earlier that day walking naked through a local general store. He was subsequently detained by the police and evaluated by emergency medical services before being transported to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center for further assessment of his medical and mental health.
This heartbreaking incident has left the community in shock and mourning. The authorities are working tirelessly to gather evidence and understand the motive behind this devastating crime. The residents of Idaho Falls are urged to come forward with any information that may aid the ongoing investigation. As the story unfolds, the focus remains on seeking justice for the victims and ensuring the safety of the community.
