In a tragic turn of events, an Idaho infant, 10-month-old Zeke Best, was discovered lifeless by law enforcement over the weekend, just a day following the issuance of an Amber Alert for the child. The harrowing incident unfolded as authorities apprehended the baby’s father, Jeremy Albert Best, who was taken into custody on an arrest warrant linked to the demise of his wife.

The arrest warrant for Best was issued on Friday, suspecting his involvement in the kidnapping of his own child in Teton County, according to information released by the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office. A subsequent search led officers to Best’s vehicle, lodged in an embankment off the road. Tragically, the lifeless body of baby Zeke was found at the scene, prompting an extensive investigation by Idaho State Police and the FBI, among other agencies.

The gravity of the situation was further heightened as authorities disclosed that Jeremy Albert Best was also sought in connection with an ongoing investigation into the death of his wife, Kali Jean Randall. The grim discovery of Randall’s lifeless body occurred in her Victor residence just a day prior, with the Teton County Sheriff’s Office categorizing the incident as a homicide.

Jeremy Albert Best currently resides in the Bonneville County Jail, awaiting his arraignment. Despite attempts to reach the jail for confirmation on the assignment of a defense attorney to Best’s case, information remained unconfirmed as of Saturday evening.

In a solemn statement, authorities expressed their condolences, acknowledging the profound impact on the victims’ family. “Our thoughts are with the family of the victims involved in this case,” emphasized law enforcement officials as the investigation unfolds. The community remains gripped by this devastating saga, highlighting the need for swift and thorough justice in the face of such unspeakable tragedy.
