FWIW, a "Westy" is the VW Westfalia.

Jeremy Best was taken by authorities to Swan Valley's hospital Thursday for mental health evaluation and released later that afternoon. This is about half an hour from Victor, Idaho.

Hoping with everything that this little boy is safe!

 

[WildcatRunner]

her posts are all about him and how happy she is, how amazing he is.

imo Van life isn’t the right move for couples.

I don't think they lived in the van. She was found deceased in a home.

JAB gives me a "severe mental health issues that started during Covid" vibe but I haven't done much research yet.

I notice it says "soaking up the sun on his leisure boat" - I hope LE has looked into the boat info, just in case he's hiding onboard it somewhere.

Thank you for pointing this out. I didn’t see it originally, probably in the update. I am even more heartbroken and worried with this news.

This is a mess, I saw comments that she was pregnant but nothing I could bring here at the time. I thought at first he was on the run and would have visited family and that's where the baby is but seeing he was found pretty much the same day or day after naked and at mini mart makes me think this child is NOT SAFE. Praying for Zeke and her family

The naked in the store/hospital mental health eval was before - all on Thursday. Then Thursday night is when he murdered Kali and disappeared with baby Zeke. I hope this baby is warm and safe and fed.

We don't know that. That night they discovered she was deceased but doesn't say how long she had been there

According to the linked articles, there was a 911 call from the residence on Thursday at 11:40pm. The dispatcher heard a disturbance on the line. When the deputies arrived at the residence they found Kali deceased. This makes it sound as if she was killed during the 911 call.

It is horrifying. Since you brought the subject up...this was included in an article in the Jackson Hole News about Jeremy Best and the death of his wife.

*******
If Best is charged in her death, this would be the second time in the last seven years that a pregnant woman was killed by an intimate partner in Teton Valley. In 2016, Jackson resident Erik Ohlson shot and killed Driggs, Idaho resident Jennifer Nalley. He was sentenced in 2019 for the death of Nalley, who was also pregnant at the time. He is serving life in prison.

*******
“It can feel hopeless in moments like these as we make progress in systems, policies and legislation,” Community Safety Network Executive Director Shannon Brooks-Hamby told the Daily on Friday. “The reality is that the statistics are alarmingly high for situations of intimate partner violence that end in homicide. The way forward, and to maintain hope, is to honor the idea that women and all individuals deserve to live lives free from violence.”

Homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant women, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

It's so sad, looking at her FB.

From her blog (linked on the first page of this discussion:

We late night hot springed, cooked steaks in bear country at midnight, got a flat tire with no jack. Instantly connected. I was in awe as he navigated hundreds of miles of backroads, the map solely in his mind.

It was the summer of 2009, I was 24 living in Wisconsin, absolutely smitten with a guy in Idaho.

I have to hope he was on drugs because then there's hope that he will come down off the drugs and behave more normally and care for his son. This is such an awful, tragic story. They knew each other for quite some time, it seems.

The friend who introduced him tried to describe him, "There's just nobody like him."

He seems to have functioned well as a mechanic for years.
