Father in Custody as Idaho Community Mourns Infant and Mother

The case deepened as investigators revealed that Jeremy Best was also a suspect in the death of his wife, Kali Jean Randall, whose body was found in her Victor home just one day before the Amber Alert. Authorities confirmed the incident as a homicide.

Detectives from Bonneville County, Idaho State Police, and the Teton County Sheriff’s Office continued to process the scene and piece together the timeline of events. Jeremy Best was booked into the Bonneville County Jail, awaiting arraignment. As of that weekend, it was unclear whether a defense attorney had been assigned to represent him.

In a statement, law enforcement officials extended condolences to the grieving family, acknowledging the profound toll of the tragedy. “Our thoughts are with the family of the victims involved in this case,” they said.

The loss of both a young mother and her infant son has left the Idaho community shaken, underscoring the urgency for justice and healing in the wake of such heartbreaking violence.
