We would like to thank the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of the Idaho State Police as well as other agencies, for their tireless effort and diligence in bringing the investigation to this point.

While efforts continue to identify the deceased through DNA testing, we can say with reasonable certainly that the dead body is Lisa Stukey. At this time, we have no reason to believe anyone else was involved in the murder of Lisa Stukey.
We continue to encourage all individuals with knowledge of this crime to bring that information to law enforcement for their investigation. Anyone willfully withholding knowledge or information from law enforcement regarding this crime may face criminal charges.
As this is a pending criminal case with an ongoing investigation, and pursuant to Rule 3.8 of the Idaho Rules of Professional Responsibility, we will not comment further on the evidence in the case to insure the defendant’s right to a fair trial. Thank you for your interest and consideration in this matter.
