Found Deceased UT - Dylan Rounds, 19, Lucin, Box Elder Co, May 2022 #2 *Arrest*

Brenner will spend at least three years in prison for Rounds’s murder. The judge asked the parole board to keep Brenner in prison as long as they legally could.

And he told the court he wished he could have done more.

“I wish I could do something more,” Maynard said. “I understand though that when this plea deal was offered it was with the consent of the family in an effort to bring closure.

“So there is nothing more that I can do.”

I recall an interview with his mother stating the family was fine with the plea agreement, they didn't care about Brenner and just wanted their boy located. They got their boy.

IDAHO FALLS — The world is invited to celebrate Dylan Rounds’ birthday Thursday evening by lighting a candle, planting a seed and joining a virtual memorial.

The young man, originally from eastern Idaho, would be turning 22 years old on Aug. 1. He disappeared from his farm in the desert town of Lucin, Utah, in May 2022 and his body was not found for nearly two years.

James Brenner led authorities to Rounds’ buried remains in April and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder a few weeks later. Candice Cooley and Justin Rounds, Dylan Rounds’ parents, were in the courtroom last month when Brenner was sentenced to serve three to 30 years in prison for killing their son.

IDAHO FALLS — A cell phone video has been released showing James Brenner cleaning a gun with blood on his shirt moments after he shot and killed 19-year-old Dylan Rounds in May 2022.

The video was “the convicting piece of evidence” that led to the recovery of Rounds’ body and Brenner being charged, according to his mother, Candice Cooley.

“It’s a haunting video,” Cooley tells EastIdahoNews.com. “What was (Brenner) thinking? He was so nonchalant, like, ‘No big deal, I just shot a 19-year-old twice in the head, and I need to go clean myself up.’ … What the hell was he thinking?”
 
IDAHO FALLS — Since her son was found dead nearly a year ago in the Utah desert, Candice Cooley has been working to get legislation passed that will help when people go missing.

After her son disappeared, Cooley says it took a couple of weeks to get a warrant for his cellphone data, leading to the discovery of his phone in a pond near Brenner's trailer.

The new bill would dramatically speed up the time, not just when people are missing under suspicious circumstances but also if hunters, skiers, campers, snowmobilers or others become lost in remote areas.
