Canyon County Woman Sentenced for Aiding Murder of 37-Year-Old Travis Calumpit
Caldwell, Idaho – On October 23, 2025, Canyon County District Judge Randall Grove sentenced Rosalie Morris, 60, for the aiding in the murder of her of estranged son-in-law, Travis Calumpit, 37. Last year Morris and her daughter, Melissa Calumpit, drove from Nevada to an Idaho campsite where Melissa Calumpit shot Travis Calumpit in the chest. After the killing, the pair left the scene and disposed of both the firearm and the victim’s cell phone.
Anna Norris, the victim’s sister, told the court, “He didn’t deserve that. He should still be here with me and my family.” Norris described Calumpit as a beloved brother and uncle. “I miss my big brother so much,” she added.
The State, represented by Deputy Prosecutors Karson Vitto and Patrick Miller, requested a life sentence with 30 years of fixed time before the defendant would be eligible for parole. “This is a cold, premeditated murder. She wanted him dead, and nothing was going to stop her.” Vitto said.
Ultimately, Judge Grove sentenced Morris to 30 years in prison, with 18 years fixed before she is eligible for parole. “This is about the most extreme crime that people can commit,” Judge Grove said. “Your goal was essentially to treat Travis Calumpit like a dog — to put him down.”
Canyon County Prosecutor Chris Boyd thanked the Canyon County Sheriff’s Office for their diligent investigation. Boyd commented, “When a mother helps plot and carry out a cold-blooded murder, it strikes at the very heart of decency. I hope that today’s sentence prevents this Defendant from ever taking another life.”
