The body of Tory J. Raether, the North Carolina man who was presumed drowned after jumping into the Snake River east of Alpine on the 4th of July, has been found and recovered.

Commander Matt McMurdo with Star Valley Search & Rescue said Raether's body was spotted from the shore by campers in the McCoy Creek area at roughly 11:30 a.m. Saturday, July 11. The campers paddle boarded out to him and then called authorities. McMurdo said Search & Rescue crews, who had been looking for Raether since last Saturday night, were again out on the water searching when the call came in, allowing for a quick response to the scene to recover the body.

Raether had been missing since jumping into the river without a life jacket at Jump Rock, a popular recreational spot along the river above the Sheep Gulch Boat Ramp, roughly 3 1/2 miles east of Alpine. Star Valley Search & Rescue was paged to the scene at roughly 7:00 p.m. and had been searching the river and reservoir since that time, using a combination of multiple drones, rafts and a jet boat.

Did you know the majority of drowning victims in open water know how to swim.
WEARING A LIFE JACKET is the single most effective way to prevent drowning. Please keep this is mind when you and your family are enjoying the water this season.

🔥 🚫Please See the Attached Burn Ban🚫🔥

We are extremely concerned for this season and ask our amazing public to please join us in doing all we can to prevent disaster.

The patriotic display of fireworks is something that is near and dear to us all, but there are laws in place for safety reasons. It takes one spark for tragedy to fall upon us.

Idaho Code 39-2609 explains the general prohibition provisions used to address fireworks by law enforcement. Violations are listed as an infraction punishable by a fine of $100.

Other statutes in that chapter give further definitions of what is considered to be legal when it comes to the use, sell, short term storage, and public display of fireworks.

With the burn ban in place and the language contained therein, violations of that ban fall under Bingham County Ordinance 5-4-8 and are considered a misdemeanor, to include the non-authorized use of aerial fireworks.

Please be safe during this season and considerate of others. Watch those speeds, wear your seatbelts, and let’s celebrate America’s 250th year by being the safest we can. 💙
