When two hunters saw a guy “naked and making odd statements” in a sleeping bag by the side of the road, officers came to the conclusion that the man was Best.
Deputies from the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office allegedly discovered the baby dead after searching the area surrounding his vehicle on an embankment beside the road. The reason of death is yet unknown.
About 36 hours after the child’s mother, who was also thought to be pregnant, was discovered dead, the unfortunate discovery was made in Idaho Falls, Idaho, at about 9:15 a.m. on Saturday.
Best was held at the spot until he could get medical attention for his injuries. The Teton County Sheriff’s Office was looking for him on suspicion of murder.
