Shannon Kampman, 54, was found dead at the Dry Gulch trailhead south of Twin Falls on the evening of August 6, 2025. She had significant head and facial trauma that investigators determined were caused by two gunshot wounds. Her identity was confirmed by a pair of dentures inscribed with her name. She was fully clothed when found but her underwear was missing.

Investigators focused on Twin Falls resident Tyler Jermane Owens after his mother called dispatch the same evening to report he was having a mental health crisis and had shown her bloody clothing while implying involvement in a death. Police located Owens at a laundromat just before midnight; he fled in a vehicle, collided with two police cars and was arrested. Owens admitted meeting Kampman on August 5 for a sexual encounter but denied killing her. A witness said Owens arrived at Kampman’s trailer in the early hours of August 6 with a shotgun and bloody clothes asking for help cleaning his car. Officers recovered Kampman’s purse and blood-stained underwear in Owens’ vehicle, and Owens was charged with first-degree murder and related felonies.

Does anyone have information about Kampman’s movements on August 5–6 or about contacts between her and Owens?
