Ronie Jokim Parrott was 43 when she was last seen on the night of August 25, 2015, buying a soda at a Maverik in Boise. A mother of four and a familiar presence in the local music scene, she vanished after that outing and was the subject of growing concern from family and friends.

On February 13, 2016, a walker found human remains in a remote part of the Boise Foothills near Hulls Gulch Loop. The Ada County Coroner confirmed the remains were Ronie Parrott’s and an autopsy showed she had been shot multiple times in the head; her death was ruled a homicide. Investigators estimated the body had been in the foothills since late August 2015, about the time she disappeared.

Boise Police say they have several significant leads and a working theory that Ronie was killed by someone she knew rather than by a random assailant, but no arrests have been announced. If anyone knew Ronie, her routines, or saw her the night of August 25, please come forward with information.
