Kidnapped woman's sticky note handoff leads to rescue
'The Big Weekend Show' panelists react to Arizona deputies rescuing a kidnapped woman after she gave a 'Help. Call 911' sticky note to a gas station customer.
An Idaho man who led police on a two-day manhunt last week is now in custody and formally charged with murdering his wife and their unborn baby.
During a virtual hearing on Monday, 48-year-old Jeremy Best appeared to flash a "rock on" hand sign into his camera after a Teton County judge granted a competency hearing for the murder suspect, according to East Idaho News reporter Nate Eaton.
The judge also denied bond for Best, Eaton reported.
Teton County officials on Nov. 30 began searching for Best and issued an Amber Alert in Idaho and Wyoming for his 10-month-old child, Zeke Gregory Best.
Just before midnight that Thursday, the Teton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call reporting a disturbance from a residence in Victor and located Best's 38-year-old wife, Kali Randall, deceased upon arrival.

"We thank all of you for walking with us during this time. Our Zeke is now at rest with his loving mama and unborn sibling," Randall's family told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The pain we feel is unimaginable and we thank everyone for their support. You will never know how you have lifted our family up during this time. As this is an ongoing investigation, we ask for privacy as we take time to process and grieve."

Two days after locating Randall, on Saturday morning, the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office received a call from hunters saying they found "a man in a sleeping bag on the side of the road" in the area of Kepps Crossing Road near Dan Creek Road, east of Idaho Falls.
