Good morning, Idaho Falls.

Tony Ginanni lost the sentimental ring honoring his late wife when his family stopped for a meal at Mo’Bettahs in Ammon and he later discovered it was missing while traveling in Colorado—he described the stainless steel band with her thumbprint and the words 'Forever My Love' engraved inside, and he hopes it turns up if someone finds it.

Madison County coroner Sam Butikofer identified 49-year-old Florrita Harker of Idaho Falls as the victim in a fatal crash on U.S. Highway 20 near Rexburg Sunday night—she remained trapped in her car while other occupants exited vehicles that had submerged in a pond.

On July 4 at 2:42 a.m., Idaho Falls Police went to a Fred Meyer parking lot after a 911 call reported a stabbing at Shady Rest Campground and found a victim helped by Fire EMS, and later SWAT arrested 30-year-old Mariano Rodriguez—who had left the scene—at a Mojave Street home just before 8 p.m., and he is now in county jail for Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Instrument.

Over the July Fourth weekend, Idaho drivers filled up at gas pumps as prices held steady at $3.42 per gallon for regular gas despite a record 72.2 million travelers, according to AAA Idaho.

The agency said lower crude oil prices and steady demand helped keep prices 17 cents lower than a year ago - Idaho Falls listed gas at $3.31.

The College of Eastern Idaho Board of Trustees appointed Dana Kirkham as the new Zone 5 trustee on Tuesday, June 24.

She served as Ammon's mayor and held key economic roles, and her leadership is expected to support the college as it prepares to open its new Future Tech facility in fall 2026.

The BLM is accepting bids for a post and pole timber harvest at McDevitt Creek near Salmon covering 39 acres with 17,000 lodgepole pine trees and an estimated 135,000 board feet of timber that will help reduce tree density and wildfire risk.
