A kidnapped baby was found dead in an Idaho forest on Saturday – after his father was seen walking naked and delirious nearby, police said.
Police found the body of 10-month-old Zeke Best about 24 miles east of Idaho Falls after a hunter called to report a man in a sleeping bag on the side of the road.
The man — identified as the baby’s father, suspected killer Jeremy Albert Best — “was naked and making strange statements,” the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office said.
Law enforcement had been searching for the couple since Thursday night when Best, 48, allegedly killed his wife, 38-year-old Kali Jean Randall in their home just hours after she underwent a psychological evaluation.
Best was arrested by police around noon Thursday for wandering around a local general store without any clothes on, according to police.

The naked man was strangely seen bending over the store counter next to the cash register and taking a cigarette before he was led out of the building, surveillance footage obtained by EastIdahoNews.com shows.
He was taken by ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where he was evaluated for medical and mental health issues, the Bonneville Sheriff’s Department said.
After being released that day, Best allegedly returned home to kill his wife and kidnap his son.
Police issued an Amber Alert naming Best as an “armed and extremely dangerous homicide and kidnapping suspect,” the Teton County Sheriff’s Office said.

Best’s black SUV was found around 9:15 a.m. Saturday under an embankment in the area where he was found by hunters.
Zeke was pronounced dead at the scene, but police have not said where his body was found or identified the manner of his death.
After being treated by medics, Best was taken into custody on an arrest warrant issued in connection with Randall’s death.
