On July 8, 2025, 62-year-old Donna Jenks of Burley, Idaho, was found shot to death inside her home. Deputies discovered her husband, 66-year-old Kelly Jenks, also dead from a gunshot wound in the living room; Donna’s body was located in a closet near the back of the house. Both had gunshot wounds to the head.

Investigators linked the Jenks murders to a larger string of killings that day across nearby counties. Authorities in Rupert investigated a suspicious shooting of a woman earlier that afternoon, and a fourth victim was later found in a vehicle in Minidoka County. Neighborhood surveillance captured a gold 2013 Toyota Tundra arriving at the Jenks residence and a man entering and leaving that afternoon; evidence from all scenes pointed to a single suspect.

That evening, law enforcement stopped the vehicle in Shoshone and arrested 56-year-old Benjamin Roy Naylor of Burley. He was reportedly wearing a camouflage jacket, armed with a 1911-style handgun in a shoulder holster, and was charged with four counts of first-degree murder with a deadly-weapon enhancement and held without bond.

Donna was described as a devoted grandparent who had worked 20 years as a paraprofessional at an elementary school before retiring. Does anyone have information about Donna, her family, or the events that afternoon in Burley?
