Box Elder County Attorney Stephen Hadfield expressed relief that the case was resolved highlighting the importance of bringing Dylan Rounds home and successfully concluding the prosecution. He praised everyone involved in the investigation. Dylan Rounds disappeared after talking to his grandmother on May 28 2022. James Brenner who was 58 at the time was living in a trailer on Rounds’ property where Rounds kept his grain truck. Brenner was named a suspect in July 2022. Chief Deputy Cade Palmer of the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office said many interviews, searches, and forensic evidence pointed to Brenner as the suspect. Dylan’s mother Candice Cooley told PEOPLE how her son had made his dream of owning a farm come true by buying hundreds of acres in the Utah desert. He spent the last two summers improving the land, getting water rights, and finally seeing his grain crop grow. Earlier this month Rounds’ family started Dylan’s Legacy a nonprofit that offers resources, guidance, and emotional support to Americans in similar situations. This organization aims to help others through the difficult and complex process they have experienced. The resolution of this case brings some closure to Rounds’ family who can now begin to move forward after Brenner’s guilty plea and the recovery of Dylan’s remains.
