🌱 Daybell Update + Eagle's Wet Parade + Boise Cooling Stations

Hello all. I'm here right on time with your fresh copy of the Boise Daily, full of everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Let's dive right in...

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Boise Daily. We open the week with an update on Chad and Lori Vallow Daybell. Grab a look at some really wet people attending Eagle Fun Days and for the upcoming hot days, find some Boise cooling stations. Listen to the stories of female high school students entering the world of auto collision repair and hear from a family member regarding the murder/suicide of her mother and sister.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 94 Low: 65.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Boise who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Boise Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:

1. The news has been quiet the last few weeks regarding Chad Daybell and his wife, Lori Vallow Daybell and the upcoming January murder trial for both to be held in Boise. The Boise Daily promised to keep our followers apprised of updates in the case as when the two go to trial, media from around the nation will converge in Boise. EastIdahoNews reporter Nate Easton reports a judge just denied a request from Chad Daybell's lawyers to remove two prosecutors from the case. One, Rachel Smith from Missouri, was brought into the case due to her experience in handling homicide and death penalty cases. Both Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell were charged a year ago with multiple counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan — two of Lori’s kids — and Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell.

2. A quick way to cool off this summer is to be drenched as many were this past weekend during Eagle Fun Days. Joining the crowd was KIVI-TV's Steve Dent with some great video of both the "dry" parade and the "wet" parade. Dent fails to mention if he grabbed some dinner at the annual rocky mountain oyster feed. (Idaho News 6 Boise Twin Falls)
3. Some Boise students received national media attention, discussing females in the arena of collision repair. Boise Patch brings the story from the most recent issue of I-Car magazine where second and third-year female students attending Boise School District's Dennis Technical Education Center discuss their future in the automotive industry. The roundtable discussion is led by a graduate of the program and now a paint technician/prepper with Cope Collision Center of Meridian, Idaho. (Boise Patch)
4. If you were unable to attend Eagle Fun Days and cool down, Boise will now offer seven locations for people needing access to air conditioned spaces, water misters and shade. The Idaho Capital Sun's Mia Maldonado writes an article including details of each location and an online map. The cooling areas are the work of Our Path Home, a private-public partnership with a mission to end homelessness in the area. (idahocapitalsun)
5. A local family member is speaking out on how the system failed her family after the death of her mother and sister in a suspected murder/suicide. KTVB's Shirah Matsuzawa speaks with the daughter of Dawna Roe and sister of Gabrielle Roe. The two were found dead near Drewsey, Oregon and although the investigation continues, it appears to be a murder/suicide. The family members states calls were made to Child Protective Services last year regarding Dawna Roe, but no action was ever taken. (KTVB)
