Investigation indicated the suspect to be 50-year-old Kimberli Jones, Jason’s wife.

Gallatin County 911 received a call from a person recreating near Hyalite Reservior indicating that they had discovered a body on Tuesday night. With that information, responders were able to locate the body of Kimberli Jones. She was deceased due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The incident is still under investigation at this time.

Wednesday morning, Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer provided an update on the murder-suicide investigation.

 

The incident marks the second homicide investigation this year in Gallatin County. In July, an individual was stabbed to death at a residence in Bozeman.

The Park County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating a homicide after a body was found in a camper south of Livingston in September.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to family members, friends, law enforcement, and first responders during this difficult time.
