East Idaho News partners with CrimeHQ to explore DeOrr Kunz case

IDAHO FALLS — EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with CrimeHQ to take a closer look at the disappearance of DeOrr Kunz Jr.
The two-year-old from Idaho Falls vanished July 10, 2015, while visiting Timber Creek Campground in Lemhi County with his parents, Jessica Mitchell and Vernal DeOrr Kunz. DeOrr’s great-grandfather, Robert Walton, and Isaac Reinwand, a friend of Walton’s, were also on the trip.
There has been no sign of DeOrr since that day, and nobody has been charged in connection to his disappearance. Mitchell and Kunz were named suspects in January 2016 by former Lemhi County Sheriff Lynn Bowerman but they have never been arrested or charged. The parents have claimed from the beginning that they do not know what happened to their son. Reinwand and Walton have also said they have no idea where the boy is. Walton died in June 2019.
