Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Speaks Out as Son Tyler, 20, Faces Child Abuse Allegations Tied to Incident with Her Grandson
Boebert told PEOPLE in a statement that the incident "stems from a miscommunication" U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is speaking out as her 20-year-old son Tyler faces a misdemeanor citation for child abuse. According to a report from the Denver, Colo.-based outlet Westword, Tyler, the eldest of the congresswoman's four sons, received a citation for "criminal negligence" tied to an incident involving his son on July 11. A court summons obtained by the outlet states "no death or injury occurred." Tyler — who welcomed the child when he was 17 years old — was issued the criminal citation by the Windsor Police Department (WPD), located about 60 miles outside Denver. Other details about the circumstances of the incident were not immediately available, but Lauren, 38, a Republican politician, told PEOPLE in a statement, "Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year." "Unfortunately, this event stems from a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house," she continued. The WPD and the Weld County District Attorney did not immediately respond to reach-outs from PEOPLE on Sunday, July 27. Tyler has faced criminal issues in the past. In February 2024, a then 18-year-old Tyler was arrested on felony charges connected to a string of property thefts and vehicle trespasses. The Rifle Police Department in Colorado said at the time that Tyler was facing "four felony counts of Criminal Possession ID Documents - Multiple Victims, one felony count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, and over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses." In a statement given to PEOPLE at the time, Lauren said, "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for." "It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track," she continued. "I will never give up on him and I will continue to be there for him." Added Lauren: "As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen." The Post Independent reported in October that Tyler reached an agreement and entered a guilty plea to one count of attempted identity theft, a class five felony, as part of a plea agreement. The remaining charges were dismissed. Tyler's arrest came weeks after his father, Lauren's ex-husband Jayson Boebert, was arrested following an alleged public altercation involving the former couple. Jayson, 43, was arrested in January on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief, according to Garfield County records viewed by CBS News. He was released from the county jail on the same day of his arrest. The Silt Police Department in northwest Colorado confirmed to PEOPLE at the time that it had launched an investigation after Jayson claimed he was a victim of domestic violence, alleging that his ex-wife "punched" him in the face multiple times at a restaurant. In addition to Tyler, the representative also shares three other sons, Brody, Kaydon and Roman, with Jayson. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Bryan Kohberger Gets Life Without Appeal For Idaho Murders, Big Questions Still Linger
Nearly three years after four University of Idaho students were brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus home, Bryan Kohberger has pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole or appeal. The plea deal spares him the death penalty but leaves behind unanswered questions — including his motive and the whereabouts of the murder weapon. The Ada County Sheriff's Office was reportedly so inundated with calls and questions about the case that they released very limited documents online due to overwhelming public interest. Kohberger, a former Ph.D. criminology student, offered no explanation for the Nov. 13, 2022, killings of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Now, investigators say they still don't know why he targeted the house at 1122 King Road — or those young students. Authorities revealed this week that Kohberger had used third-party software to wipe his phone and computers, effectively hiding much of his digital footprint. According to Fox 4, despite intensive investigation, the murder weapon — believed to be a 'Ka-Bar' knife — was never found. The only concrete link investigators disclosed before the murder case was Kohberger's repeated visits near the victims' home. He reportedly drove by the house at least a dozen times before the killings and he returned again about five hours after the attack One chilling detail: an alleged selfie found on his phone taken shortly after the murders. Despite widespread speculation about possible motives—ranging from online obsession to personal rejection—prosecutors said no definitive motive has been proven. Kohberger's phone and other devices gave up little, and his courtroom demeanor offered even less. 'Where is the knife?' and 'Why that house?' are still open questions, detectives admitted in a post-sentencing press conference. Judge Steven Hippler accepted the plea to spare the victims' families further trauma. He called Kohberger a 'faceless coward' and declared his '15 minutes of fame' over. Investigators eventually captured Kohberger after matching the DNA from the knife sheath left at the scene with his genetic profile. Though the case lacked a confession or murder weapon, according to Fox 4 – officials said they were confident they would have caught him even without that final DNA match. Additional documents from the investigation may be released in the coming months, potentially offering more insight into Kohberger's motive. Kohberger narrowly avoided execution. As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Idaho lawmakers considered reinstating the firing squad following the murders. In 2023, State Rep. Bruce Skaug (R) introduced legislation to make it the default method of execution — specifically citing cases like Kohberger's. The state previously allowed the practice between 1982 and 2009. Idaho ultimately passed House Bill 37, making it the first state to adopt the firing squad as its primary method of capital punishment. The new policy takes effect July 1, 2026. While states like South Carolina, Utah, and Mississippi allow firing squads as a backup option, Idaho stands alone in making it standard procedure.
