BOISE — A memorial service will be held Tuesday afternoon for Ada County Deputy Tobin Bolter, who was killed in the line of duty this month.
The service is set to begin at 3 p.m. at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa, with the indoor service being reserved for Bolter’s family, friends and law enforcement, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Community members will be allowed to observe from the Ford Idaho Center’s amphitheater, and the service will also be live-streamed in the video player above.
Bolter was shot and killed after pulling over 65-year-old Dennis Mulqueen near the area of West Overland Road and South Raymond Street on the Boise Bench, according to authorities. He “never even made it to” the driver’s side window before Mulqueen, of Boise, shot Bolter and fled the scene, according to Ada County Sheriff Matt Clifford and the Ada County Coroner’s Office.
A nearby citizen called 911 until paramedics arrived. Bolter was transported to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, where he died Sunday morning. He was 27.
After an hours-long manhunt, Mulqueen was found outside a home on South Jackson Street, police said. He fired his weapon at law enforcement, prompting a Boise police officer — who has yet to be identified — to fire back and shoot him in the chest, police said. Mulqueen died at Saint Al’s just after 12:30 a..m. Sunday.
No other officers were injured in the shooting.
Bolter “sacrificially loved” his wife, according to a statement, and was able to faithfully “serve and protect” his community as a deputy because of a deeply rooted Christian foundation.
“Tobin’s vivacious spirit and selfless care for others were an encouragement to all who knew him,” his family said in the statement, adding their thanks to the community for its support.

There are a lot of cool kids doing cool things in eastern Idaho and I’m partnering with Timberline Home to honor them.
Twice a month, I’ll be sharing the stories of local kids who are making a difference and honoring them with Emmy’s Award!
I recently learned about a girl named Natalee. She is a student at Bonneville Online High School and a member of the school's Hope Squad. Natalee is is the only national member of Hope Squad in the state of Idaho. She is also a member of her school's Student Council.
She loves to be involved in helping others and is always putting others' needs before her own.
Natalee lost her dad almost two years ago in a car crash and has chosen to not only overcome this hardship but to CRUSH it. She has stepped up for her family in so many ways and they have been able to keep and maintain their cattle business with help from their friends and Natalee’s ability to step in wherever she is needed.
Natalee is often the chauffeur for her two younger siblings and widowed mom. At times, Natalee has even been the caregiver for her family as her mom has had to have a few surgeries over the last year. Natalee is employed, has graduated high school early and plans to go to BYU-Idaho to study animal science.
Natalee is loved beyond words and always ends up giving more than she takes.
I was honored to meet Natalee and present her with Emmy's Award! Watch in the video player above.

IDAHO FALLS — Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan were remembered for their big hearts and loving personalities during a Celebration of Life Saturday afternoon.
Over 200 people gathered in the Colonial Theater and thousands watched from around the world as family members and friends honored the two children, whose remains were found buried on Chad Daybell’s property in June 2020.
“This started a number of years ago when I stood in front of a camera and said, ‘Where are the kids? Where are the kids? Where are the kids?'” said Larry Woodcock, JJ Vallow’s grandfather. “Now we’re here. I want to thank God for the spirit he has given me and for all of you.”
Larry and his wife, Kay Woodcock, have waited for years to hold a memorial for JJ and Tylee in eastern Idaho. They wiped tears from their eyes as a video of The Rexburg Children’s Choir singing ‘Give Me Jesus’ with Fernando Ortega was played at the beginning of the service.
Brian Wood, owner of Wood Funeral Home, conducted the Celebration of Life and the lobby of the Colonial Theater was filled with photos of JJ and Tylee. When it was his turn to speak, Larry Woodcock did not stand at the podium; rather, he sat next to a large picture of JJ on the stage and shared memories of his grandson.
“That’s my little man,” he said, pointing to the photograph. “We are blessed to forever be known as paw-paw and maw-maw…I wish you could have met JJ and knew him and loved him as we loved him.”
Todd Trahan, JJ’s biological father, is currently incarcerated in Louisiana but called into the service unannounced and recalled seeing his son for the last time in 2019. JJ was drinking chocolate milk and Kool-Aid while eating popcorn.
“No parent in this world can prepare themselves for the things that happened to you. I’ve asked God why he would let things happen like this,” Trahan said. “You have been a warrior since you were born – two pounds, eight ounces. The spirit of God was with you and is with you more now watching over me.”
Woodcock and Pastor Larry Cudmore read a three page letter from cousin Zac Cox, who recalled watching television shows with Tylee and going to Jack in the Box late at night with her. He said Tylee was JJ’s protector and “we’re all thankful for that.”
“I still can’t wrap my head around anything that has happened and why this happened to you and JJ,” Cox wrote. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about what you would be doing if you were still alive and still here.”
Other memories of the children from friends were also read at the service along with a poem titled “The Smile” by Brandon Boudreaux, JJ and Tylee’s former uncle. Another family member, Megan Conner, performed “Over the Rainbow,” “Tears in Heaven,” “Go Rest High on that Mountain” and “Ave Maria.”
Cudmore concluded the memorial by saying despite the tragedy, JJ and Tylee’s deaths have brought people together and the children are resting in the arms of a loving Jesus Christ.
“You have an extended family from all over the world.” Cudmore said. “Nothing can separate us from the love of God.”

IDAHO FALLS — A Celebration of Life is being held Saturday afternoon in honor of Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan.
Larry and Kay Woodcock, JJ’s grandparents, are hosting the memorial at the Colonial Theater in Idaho Falls. Musical tributes will be performed and Larry Woodcock will speak at the service.
The Colonial Theater is located at 450 A Street. Seating will be on a first come, first serve basis. Visitation hours will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. followed by the Celebration of Life from 1 to 2 p.m.
EastIdahoNews.com will livestream the event in the video player above.
Tyler Despain told EastIdahoNews.com that he was “raised on YouTube.” After working in the restaurant industry for years, he combined the knowledge he gained from watching cooking videos and working in kitchens. The result is a fusion you may have never tasted — Texas-style barbecue with Asian-style sauces in noodle and rice bowls.
“We’re just excited to add some variety to the community,” Despain said.

We recently received an email about a man who is helping others when their vehicles break down. It said:
Mike fixes cars for free - even major repairs. Mike has been disabled with back problems and unable to work for many years. He's a gifted mechanic and uses all of his time and meager resources to fix people's cars.
He travels from his home in St. Anthony to Idaho Falls and Ashton working on cars and doesn't charge anything. He won't even take donations. Because he lives close to BYU-Idaho, he's constantly working on students' cars. I would estimate he fixes at least 100 cars per year.
We decided to surprise Mike for Feel Good Friday and thank him for all he does to help others. Check out the video in the player above!

Keith Director, 51, lives in Chester and recently moved to the area after a long career working with professional athletes in New Orleans, Louisiana.
He owned his own gym and worked as a personal trainer. His clients included numerous major league baseball and NFL football players, including several New Orleans Saints players and its former coach, Sean Payton.
Hurricane Ida tore the roof off his building in 2021, the last in a long line of natural disasters that prompted him to move out west.
“I was getting a little bit tired of New Orleans. I had never seen a mountain, I had never seen snow,” Director explains. “I checked out different spots on the map and narrowed it down to Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.”
He moved to Montana initially, where he met his girlfriend, Andrea, from Chester. Ultimately, he moved to Idaho to be closer to her.
He opened Director Boxing & Training earlier this year at a private gym he and Andrea built on their property. Since coming to eastern Idaho, he’s picked up 20 clients, eight of which are student athletes at North Fremont High School. He works with people of all skill levels. See what his training sessions are like in the video above.

Every week I’m interviewing fascinating people in our community, nation and around the world.
Today I’m talking with the two stars of “Jane” – a series returning for season two on Apple TV+. Ava Louise Murchison and Mason Blomberg have both been acting for a few years and in the show, Ava Louise, who plays Jane, is on a quest to save endangered animals with her best friend David, played by Mason.
I spoke with Ava Louise and Mason last year — and was so happy to talk with them again! Here’s what I asked:
Ava Louise and Mason – What is it like being on ‘Jane’?
Ava Louise – before the show, were you interested in conservation and saving endangered species?
Mason – you have learned about a lot of different animals while filming ‘Jane.’ Do you have a favorite?
Ava Louise and Mason – in the episode ‘Panthera Leo,’ Jane does on a mission with her mom because David is sick. If both of you could do a mission with your parents, where would you go?
Ava Louise – how did you get your start in acting?
Mason – for someone who hasn’t seen ‘Jane’, can you tell them about it?
Ava Louise and Mason – I love doing theater. Can you give me some acting tips?
You can watch my entire interview with Ava Louise and Mason in the video player above. Learn more about “Jane” here.
Missed any of my previous interviews? Watch them all here. And if you have an idea of someone I should interview or just want to say hi, email me: emmy@eastidahonews.com.
