KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho — Authorities are searching for a North Idaho man who disappeared in the Fernan Saddle area over the weekend.

A vehicle belonging to 37-year-old Joel Brown from the Coeur d'Alene/Post Falls area was last seen on Forest Service Road 499 near Fernan Saddle on Friday, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office. Its occupants were thought to be hiking in the area.

The sheriff's office received a report of a possible missing person, identified as Brown, on Sunday. Authorities discovered that his vehicle was still in the same area.

Brown's place of work told sheriff's deputies and officers with Forest Service Law Enforcement that he did not show up for work on Saturday.

Deputies began searching for the area for Brown, but postponed the search until Monday morning due to an incoming storm and threat of high lightning strikes in the mountains.

More resources will be deployed from the Kootenai County Volunteer Search and Rescue Unit, along with possible air assets, on Monday.

Anyone who has seen or heard from Joel Brown is asked to contact the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office at 208-446-1300.

Rest in peace Tylee and JJ. <3

6/10/2020
The relatives of “cult mom” Lori Vallow's missing children made the grim announcement Wednesday that remains found on an Idaho property this week were the children -- Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17.

Police arrested Chad Daybell, Vallow's husband and the writer of more than a dozen self-published doomsday novels, on Tuesday after finding human remains on his property. He faced felony counts of destroying and concealing evidence. A judge set his bail at $1 million Wednesday.

Vallow, the so-called "cult mom," was the mother of both missing children.

JJ’s remains were among those found on Daybell’s property, his grandmother, Kay Woodcock, told Fox 10 Phoenix Wednesday -- before the children's relatives in the Woodcock and Ryan families released a joint statement that said Tylee's remains were discovered there as well.

Rexberg Police confirmed they found two sets on Daybell’s property during a search Tuesday.

Rob Wood, the special prosecutor handling the case, said investigators found the concealment of at least one of the bodies "to be particularly egregious," Fox 10's Justin Lum reported.

Daybell and Vallow were married in November 2019 -- a month after Chad Daybell’s previous wife, Tammy Daybell, died at home. The family reportedly declined an autopsy before her burial in Utah. The children were first reported missing by their grandparents a month before that.

A local investigation grew into an interstate probe that attracted global attention as details continued to emerge. The short span between Tammy Daybell’s death and Chad Daybell’s new marriage initially raised suspicions, and investigators exhumed her body, according to Fox 10. The results of the ensuing autopsy have not been publicly released.

Vallow’s former husband, Charles Vallow, was shot and killed in a Phoenix suburb in July 2019 by Lori Vallow’s brother, Alex Cox.

He claimed the shooting was in self-defense and died that December. A coroner ruled that his death was the result of natural causes -- a blood clot in his lung, according to Fox 10.

Charles Vallow had filed for divorce from his wife, claiming he was afraid she might kill him and that she held apocalyptic beliefs, according to the outlet -- including that she was “a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ’s second coming in July 2020.”

The 144,000 number appears in the Bible and has varying religious significance among different Christian groups.

After her previous husband’s death, Lori Vallow moved with her children to Rexburg, Idaho.

She was living there with Daybell when the children’s grandparents asked local police to perform a wellness check.

Investigators say Daybell and Vallow allegedly lied about the children’s whereabouts and left for Hawaii.

That’s where police arrested Lori Vallow in February on child abandonment charges. She was again living with Daybell.

She was extradited to Idaho and remains in custody on $1 million bail.

#StillMissing Jed Hall, Idaho Falls, ID.
January, 2018.

After two years with little headway, new evidence has been made public regarding the circumstances around Jed Hall’s disappearance in 2018.

Private Investigator James Michael Terry of Gulf Coast Investigative Solutions, hired by Hall’s parents, has been questioning Hall’s friends and was able to access his online messages.

The evidence released by Terry paints a different picture of Jed Hall than was originally reported. In contrast to the student with good grades who wanted to serve in the military, Hall’s own notes portray himself as a troubled kid uncertain about his future, and who was contemplating murder.

Terry said he has also found evidence that Hall had planned his disappearance months in advance, that he may have committed multiple crimes before leaving, and that he told friends he intended to travel to Canada.

According to security camera footage Terry provided to the Post Register, a man driving the car Hall disappeared in was recorded breaking into American Heritage Charter School. Terry, the Hall family and the Idaho Falls Police Department all said they are confident the man in the video is Jed Hall.

In the video Hall appears to be wearing kneepads, headphones, and combat boots. The footage shows him breaking through a door, going to a locker and placing something inside. According to Terry, Hall left $1,000 for a student he had a crush on before leaving the scene and driving away.

Terry said he also found statements in Hall’s notebook indicating Hall intended to murder a relative of a classmate he believed sexually abused that classmate.

The relative’s residence was targeted in a drive-by shooting the day of Hall’s disappearance, in the early morning. The Post Register is not naming the relative to protect the identity of the alleged drive-by shooting victim and because he was never charged with a crime.

In a copy of the notebook provided to the Post Register, Hall wrote, “He raped and has in essence tortured (her) all her life. I know she will never get better until he is no longer around. She might hate me for doing it, but I want to help her no matter what.”

Idaho Falls Police Department Public Information Officer Jessica Clements said the police department is not searching for Hall as the suspect of a crime, but is investigating his disappearance as a missing person case.

Terry opined that he doubted Hall would face criminal charges for the shooting because he was a minor and because there was little evidence connecting him to the shooting outside of the note.

Two other residents at the house that was shot at said they were informed of the note, but that investigators said Hall may have committed suicide.

Allen Hall, Jed Hall’s father, said he does not believe his son was involved in the shooting, despite the note. He said there were other drive-by shootings reported before and after the incident on Jan. 22.

Within Hall’s notebook were several entries in which he discussed suicide and “RAFH,” which Terry believes is a reference to a bug-out plan.

Hall writes about his concerns that society was becoming like the George Orwell novel “1984,” that mass media had too much influence on people’s opinions and that communism may take hold in the United States.

The notebook also includes writings about faking his death.

“I will do RAFH if illegal acts come up, some major world event or if just something major happens,” Hall wrote.

The notebook also contains a list of supplies, which appear to be meant for survival, including food, medical supplies and camping equipment.

Terry said he has talked to Hall’s classmates, particularly those who did not message Hall on Facebook after his disappearance was reported. He said most were reluctant to talk to him. One of Hall’s classmates mocked Terry, saying Hall would never be found.

Terry did learn, however, that Hall had discussed his plans to disappear months before doing so, and he had mentioned Canada as a possible destination.

Terry also discovered that a detective in Stockton, California did a search for Hall’s license plate four days after Hall was reported missing. The check was by a detective who did not remember why she looked for the license plate. Terry said the Stockton Police Department told him a check would have likely been because someone had noticed a car with the license plate.

Despite Hall’s suicide notes, both Terry and the police department have doubted he intended to kill himself when he left on Jan. 22, 2018. The fact that the car was never found and that Hall took so much equipment with him seemed contrary to that goal.

At the end of the notebook, Hall writes that he wants to go to a “peaceful place,” and that he’d like to see an ocean cliff.

Allen Hall, a former Idaho Falls Police Department officer, expressed frustration with how the department had handled the case. He said he did not feel the department had communicated with him enough and did not question his son’s friends enough.

Both the police department and Terry said their working relationship had been amicable. Clements said the police department was looking to bring outside help into the investigation and that Terry had drawn new attention to the case.

Gulf Investigative Solutions is offering a $15,000 reward for any information leading to the discovery of what happened to their son. Terry said Hall does not necessarily need to come home.

“He can go to local law enforcement and say, ‘I’m here, leave me alone,’ and it would all be over,” Terry said.

Terry can be reached at 813-993-2242. ... See MoreSee Less

County law enforcement believe human remains found this past weekend are those of Riggins resident, Todd W. Hofflander, who went missing in the Seven Devils Area 10 years ago.

According to an Idaho County Sheriff’s Office (ICSO) release, on Sunday, April 26, ICSO and the Idaho County Coroner, Cody Funke, were notified a hunter found what appeared to be remains of a human skull above Bernard Creek. The hunter located other items in the area, including a pack containing camping equipment and a digital camera.

On Tuesday, April 28, eight ICSO personnel were taken by jet boat to the mouth of Bernard Creek by Killgore Adventures. They then hiked approximately one mile in, where they located a portion of a human skull and other skeletal remains.

In September of 2010, Hofflander was reported missing and one of his last known locations was in this area. According to ICSO, officers were able to recover photographs off an SD card located in the pack, which belonged to Hofflander.

Everything found at the scene indicates these are the remains of Hofflander, according to ICSO; however, further testing will be done. Funke will be sending the bones to the Ada County Coroner for evaluation and DNA testing.

The family of Hofflander has been notified and ICSO stated it sends out its sympathy to them as they again deal with the loss of Todd.

ICSO thanked Kurt Killgore of Killgore Adventures for his assistance.

#StillMissing Curtis "Greg" Kelsay, Boise, ID. 4/15/2020.

4/26/2020
BOISE, Idaho — Jackie Kelsay is the wife of Curtis "Greg" Kelsay, who has been missing for nearly two weeks and said she believes the coronavirus pandemic and the uncertainty that it has created drove him to disappear on one April evening.

Both Jackie and Greg's brother-in-law Allan Fidler describe Greg as a loving and caring man.

"Family was a big priority in his life," Fidler said. "This was not a normal thing for Greg to have done."

However, something changed in this Boise family man. Jackie said the night of April 15 or early the next morning, Greg slipped quietly out of their Boise home.

"He left his wallet with his driver's license, cards, money, he left his phone," she said. "I believe he took a headlamp so that tells me he left when it was dark and I believe he may have had poles, walking poles. One would be red, and one would be blue."

Greg's car was found the next at the Dry Creek trailhead on Bogus Basin Road. That afternoon there was a search party looking for him made up of police, family, friends, dogs, and a drone. That was more than ten days ago and still no sign of Greg has been found.

"I think he knew what he was doing, I think he planned it, I think it was purposeful, I think he felt he had no other choices," Kelsay said. "He left a note."

For a man that loved his family so much, KTVB asked Jackie why she thinks her husband would not want to be found.

"He was not in his right mind, he had not been sleeping, and that was causing some stress and anxiety and probably depression," she said.

Jackie said Greg had been feeling that way since mid-March.

"The pandemic, the stock market crashing, we have rentals, people might lose their job and wouldn't be able to pay their rent," she said.

"Distancing does not really mean isolation in the form you are not connected to family and loved ones," Fidler added.

As the days pass, Jackie's faith in her husband being found dwindles.

"As more time goes by, I'm losing hope," Kelsay said.

Jackie and Fidler are urging people to keep an eye out for Greg and to also check in on the people you love who might feel isolated and anxious during this uncertain time we are all going through.

"Just reach out to people that you know that aren't doing so well right now," Fidler said. "People that have mental problems and people that are not being in contact with other people, whether it’s the phone or text or any way shape or form to have a connection with other people."

#StillMissing Mathew “Jed” Hall, then 16, Idaho Falls, ID.
Jan. 22, 2018.

4/19/2020
IDAHO FALLS — After two years, the disappearance of Mathew “Jed” Hall has become even stranger.

Jed, then 16 years old, disappeared Jan. 22, 2018, and has not been seen since. Newly released surveillance footage from American Heritage Charter School reveals the last time Jed was seen, and now a private investigator is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone with information pertaining to Jed’s whereabouts.

The footage shows Jed decked out in what appears to be combat boots, knee pads and eye and ear protection as he breaks into American Heritage Charter School.

“(The surveillance video) will show us how incredibly stealthy, smart and focused this young man was,” Jim Terry said.

Terry is the private investigator for Gulf Coast Investigation hired by the Hall family to aid in the search for Jed. He is also the person offering the $10,000 reward.

“This isn’t a girl with daddy issues that took off to Los Angeles to be an actress. This is something way bigger, to the degree where it’s almost like the more you peel back the onion, the more layers you get,” Terry said.

Allen Hall, Jed’s father, confirmed Terry’s depiction of Jed.

“He was definitely a planner and knew that you had to analyze things. Like playing chess, shall we say,” Allen said. “He is definitely a bright kid. We had him lined up to go to the Air Force Academy. He’s no dummy, let’s just say that.”

The footage shows Jed spent less than a minute inside the school and besides the broken window, he didn’t cause any other damage. What he does is almost more shocking.

“He went and broke into the high school and left the girl that had just turned him down $1,000 cash by putting it in her locker,” Terry said.

Terry said he was able to access Jed’s social media accounts and discovered through reading conversations between Jed and his friends that Jed had a strong crush on the girl in question.

“His culmination of the last days in his parents’ custody, basically come down to asking this girl if she would be his girlfriend. She told him no. The guy that she liked did not want to be her boyfriend. So it was a triangle where the dog’s tail was chasing the dog. And that was where he made his decision to leave,” Terry said.

Jed’s parents said they knew about the girl but didn’t know that he had such strong feelings for her.

“We knew he liked her. He would stop at her place of work after he got off of work and visit with her for long periods of time. So we knew that he was interested, but when I asked, he said, ‘Oh, she’s just a girl who’s a friend.’ But he had lots of girls who were friends,” Amy Hall, Jed’s mother said.

Terry believes that it’s that relationship he had with a number of his female friends that may have gotten him into trouble. Terry has a theory — one that Jed’s parents and the police are skeptical about.

According to Terry, Jed had another female friend who had allegedly been molested. Terry theorizes that Jed knew about it and decided to get back at the perpetrator.

The night Jed disappeared there was a shooting in Idaho Falls, according to Idaho Falls Police Department spokeswoman Jessica Clements. A car was supposedly shot up in a driveway of a person who allegedly knew one of Jed’s female friends.

Terry believes that one of Jed’s friends had been molested by this individual, he found out about it, and this was his way of getting back at the person.

“So Jed, in one night, evades his parents, drops $1,000 off to his best friend girl at school who he was in love with, tries to avenge his best girlfriend … possibly shot up the place and left for two years and nobody’s ever been able to see him or the vehicle again,” Terry said.

Jed was reportedly armed that night. However, Clements said the department would not confirm if Jed had ever been a suspect or person of interest in the shooting as it is still an active investigation.

Jed’s parents don’t believe he was involved in the shooting. They believe it was just a coincidence, but that’s not the only reason they don’t believe he was involved.

“Jed was skilled enough that if he wanted to hurt somebody — in the technical and tactical sense — that wouldn’t have been something that he wasn’t capable of. He wouldn’t have done it — I don’t believe he would have done it. But his ability — he was a pretty well-trained kid,” Allen said.

Jed’s family believes that training has played a role in keeping him alive over the last two years despite Jed leaving a suicide note.

Terry believes Jed’s suicide note was a misdirect so people wouldn’t look for him.

“You don’t do the types of things Jed did by leaving just to shoot yourself. One of the things Jed took that totally contradicts the suicide note was a bulletproof vest,” Terry said. “That’s not the kind of thing you take if you’re going to commit suicide.”

Another clue Terry believes shows that Jed is still alive is that on Jan. 27, 2018, just a few days after Jed disappeared, the license plate of the car he was driving was looked up in the police database by a detective in Stockton, California.

Clements said the Idaho Falls Police knew about the hit on the license plate and had looked into it.

“When Jed went missing, we sent out an ‘attempt to locate’ to agencies around our state and states around the North West, so all of the surrounding states, including California,” Clements said.

She said multiple agencies ran the license plate as standard practice when receiving an attempt to locate.

“It was followed up on, and our understanding is that was why. It wasn’t because the car was found there. It was just part of that attempt to locate,” Clements said.

Terry disagrees. He says the detective that ran the plate was a gang investigator and wouldn’t have been involved in an attempt to locate.

Terry said Idaho Falls detectives did reach out to police in Stockton, but that they never received a response.

“They found out it was hit there. They made an inquisition down there. Well, they found the paperwork where the detective two years ago made the inquisition, and there was never a follow-up on it,” Terry said.

Terry said he spoke to the California detective. He said she couldn’t remember why she made the inquisition but that it was either because the car was parked somewhere strange or where it didn’t belong or that she simply typed in a license plate number wrong, and it came up as Jed’s.

Although Terry and the IFPD may disagree on what happened, Clements said they just want Jed found.

“If this generates leads, we’re all for it. The goal is to find him and verify that he’s OK and what happened to him. So if he’s out there somewhere, and somebody knows where he is, that’s all that we care about,” Clements said.

She asked that if anyone does have information to call the IFPD dispatch line (208) 529-1200 and ask to speak to a detective.

Terry is confident Jed is somewhere in or around Stockton, California. He also believes that whomever Jed is staying with may not know that he is missing. Because of this, he is putting up a $10,000 reward for anyone with information.

“If anybody out there has any information on Jed Hall, his vehicle, his whereabouts or anything associated with this young man’s travels or his plight over the last two years, please call Gulf Coast Investigation,” Terry said. “My telephone number is (813) 993-2242.”

Jed’s parents said they just want him to come home.

“Come home. Everything’s OK. There’s no problems with the school. The school is taken care of. There’s just no problems. Come home. All is well. We want you back in the worst way,” Allen said. ... See MoreSee Less

IDAHO FALLS — A 70-year-old man who went missing from a residential facility a month ago was found dead Wednesday morning.

Maintenance workers discovered Arthur Pupedis underneath thick overgrown trees and landscaping at the corner of Curlew Drive and Chasewood Drive, according to Bonneville County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bryan Lovell.

Deputies were called and determined Pupedis had taken his own life after purposely crawling underneath the thick wooded area to conceal himself from being seen.

“This particular area had been searched at the time Mr. Pupedis was reported missing, however trees and shrubs were partially covered with snow and debris that has since melted and cleared away,” Lovell said in a news release.

Pupedis was last seen March 1 when he signed himself out of the residential facility and indicated he was possibly headed to Salt Lake City. He said he would be back on March 5 but never returned.

The Sheriff’s Office thanks everyone who assisted in searching for Pupedis.

The body of a missing man was found March 22 on an area ranch and has been identified through fingerprinting at the Montana State Crime Lab, according to Beaverhead County Coroner Julie Briggs.

Harry Montgomery, 54, of Troy was reported missing by his family on Jan. 13.

His vehicle was located on northbound Interstate 15, near the south interchange. There were no signs of foul play and there is no health threat to the community. His cause of death is pending toxicology.

StillMissing Harry L. Montgomery, (formerly from ID), vehicle found in MT. January 10.

1/30/2020
The family members and friends of a missing man with local ties have started a Facebook page dedicated to finding him.

The former Eastern Idaho resident, Harry L. Montgomery, who goes by Sonny, has been missing for nearly three weeks. Friends are spreading the word about his disappearance and updates on the search for him on the page “Find Sonny (Harry) Montgomery.”

Friends say Montgomery stopped in Downey on Jan. 10. He was in the process of moving to Troy, Montana, at that time.

But just a few days later, his vehicle was found abandoned on the side of Interstate 15 near Dillon, Montana.

Beaverhead County sheriff’s officials in Montana say there were two dogs found in the vehicle. Both animals were OK and were taken to a local animal shelter.

Friends say one of the dogs, a Pomeranian, was Montgomery’s emotional support animal, and he always kept the dog close.

Authorities in Beaverhead County conducted a search for Montgomery last week but say they didn’t find anything that could lead them to the missing man.

They’re asking anyone with information about Montgomery’s whereabouts to contact them at 406-683-3700. Locally, people can also contact Pocatello police at 208-234-6100.

Idaho State Police currently list Montgomery as an endangered missing person.

He is described as being a white male with brown hair and green eyes, standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing roughly 165 pounds. He has a scar on his back and neck and a tattoo on his right shoulder.

Friends say his eye color is closer to hazel and the tattoo on his shoulder is of a black rose.

#StillMissing Abdullahi Sharif, 18, 5901 Douglas Ave., Des Moines, ID. Jan. 17.

1/29/2020
DES MOINES, Iowa —
The Des Moines Police Department announced Wednesday it isn't ruling out foul play in the case of Abdullahi Sharif, a missing Des Moines teen.

Sharif, 18, was last seen leaving Target at 5901 Douglas Ave. near Merle Hay Mall on Jan. 17.

"I've had people say to me: 'He's an adult. What if he just decided to leave?' Well, if he's an adult and decided to leave, that's OK, but there is nothing here to indicate that's what happened," said Sgt. Paul Parizek, with Des Moines police.

Sharif's family announced they, along with the community, have raised money for a $5,000 reward.

"If anyone had anything to do with this young man's disappearance, we want you to call," said Ako Abdul-Samad, a Des Moines youth advocate.

Police have called this case baffling. They've spent hundreds of hours on it and still can't locate video footage of Sharif after he left Target.

"We keep checking back to see if (Sharif's phone) powers on," Parizek said. "We keep checking back to see if we get a ping or a blip somewhere, and we are going to keep doing that until we get those answers."

Police also said there's been no online banking or social media activity from Sharif.

"Our lead investigator told me the other day, there has been a couple of nights where he has laid awake all night trying to figure out where could he have possibly gone," Parizek said.

Sharif's mother said she spent the last 12 days crying in her son's room.

"We are asking the community for help. We are asking the community to take on a position to not think they are snitching," Abdul-Samad said.

The family asked that anyone with information about Sharif's whereabouts share it with the Des Moines Police Department at 515-283-4811.
