Hearing for suspect accused of killing Dylan Rounds delayed as family searches for missing man

#dylanrounds #eastidahonews #crimecon
IDAHO FALLS - A court hearing for the man accused of killing Dylan Rounds was postponed this week as the search for Rounds continues in the remote Utah desert.
James Brenner, 59, is charged with aggravated murder and abuse or desecration of a human body along with some firearms charges. A hearing was scheduled Monday in Brigham City but was continued, leaving Rounds’ family frustrated.
“We understand our justice system is slow but we have had charges since March and have not even had an arraignment. That’s just unheard of,” Candice Cooley, Rounds’ mother, tells EastIdahoNews.com.
Brenner was squatting on property near Rounds’ trailer when the 19-year-old disappeared from his farm in the remote town of Lucin, Utah over Memorial Day weekend in 2022. His body has not been found but Rounds’ boots were discovered near a dirt mound and his phone was at the bottom of a pond near Brenner’s trailer.
Brenner has a violent criminal history and was arrested in June 2022 on outstanding warrants. He was booked into the Weber County Jail in Ogden, Utah on federal charges and then, in March, Box Elder County Attorney Blair Wardle announced Brenner was the suspect in Rounds’ murder case.
Because he faces federal and state charges, there have been complications with Brenner’s court proceedings.
“Here’s the problem that is presented in this case. Mr. Brenner is in federal custody and each time this court acts, it has to get permission from the federal government to bring Mr. Brenner in,” Utah First District Judge Brandon Maynard said during a June hearing.
Despite the delays, Rounds’ family has spent the summer searching for Dylan in Lucin with heavy equipment and K9 teams focused on the area where his cell phone last pinged before he disappeared.
“That’s all we have to go off of. People ask us all the time what’s new with the search and we really kept everything we are doing private because of how much craziness there has been with people coming out. We’re out there and we’re looking but we are keeping it to our private groups right now,” Cooley explains.
Cooley also attended CrimeCon in Orlando, Florida last month and spoke on a panel with Gabby Petito’s parents and David Robinson, the father of a young man missing in Arizona. She was interviewed by multiple media outlets and visited with families who have missing loved ones.
“There are so many stories like Dylan’s that haven’t received any attention,” she told EastIdahoNews.com at the event. “There are some people fighting to get the word out and they get nothing. We want to bring the awareness and work with these people to get some help.”
Brenner’s next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 13 in Box Elder County, Utah.

There is nothing worse or more painful than losing a child other than losing your child and not being able to bring them home and laying them to rest. Much love and prayers to Candice and all Dylan’s family and friends. May God wrap you in his loving arms and give you strength and protection always. ❤️🙏

Seriously, how many felony convictions for assaults, “malicious wounding”, (which sounded like attempted murder to me! Illinois! Who knows), malicious firing of a firearm and multiple convictions for being a felon in possession of firearms does it take for law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges to finally say enough is enough and sentence a person to life for the protection of the public!!!

    I think, the reason Brenner's arraignment has taken so long to happen is that it's because without Dylan's body, even with the evidence they have on Dylan's cellphone, it isn't enough to prove Brenner is guilty of Dylan's murder, We all know Brenner is 100% guilty of Dylan's murder, but for the state of Idaho to prove-it beyond a reasonable doubt, it's going to take more evidence. . . . . and Brenner knows this, Hopefully soon, Candace and her family, will get a conviction but, it's going to take more time and evidence

    Exactly! That's what people always seem to forget. People want to push law enforcement for arrests and trials. But, would they rather have someone acquitted due to lack of evidence? Or would they rather give law enforcement enough time to gather the evidence needed for the case to have a stronger case against the criminal? Personally, I'd rather wait to ensure the criminal is locked up for the rest of his/her life (generally speaking).

She was throwing a fit that they didn't charge Brenner when they knew he did it but the police didn't know he did it for sure and he was also in jail for other crimes and there was no need to move fast and messed the case up.

    As to all accusations on either side, I would like to see the sources of information before swallowing it "hook, line,and sinker". I've been falsely accused ALL of my 73 + years of life: a scapegoat for those who do what they accuse me of, or who just like "drama". So I'm particularly interested in provable FACTS. I want to see TRUTH before believing another's judgement. We humans are pretty easy to believe the loudest, most persistent, voice! SHOW the FACTS.

I know if it was my child I would want every single person out there looking for my child’s remains. Or I would try to make a deal to get that old ass to tell me what he did with him. I would demand seasoned detectives, and attorneys to go in and play the game so he would tell them where my child was.

Even I understand that crime scene what I don’t understand is why they don’t want people going to looking for him. And usually most of the time hunters in the area Will come across bones and stuff. I am a hunter and it’s common all the time people hunting find bones of all sort of stuff. And I understand that the people that have been involved in the case a few of them are worthless pieces of garbage but still, I would want every person in any person to go searching for my baby.
