- Three women have been found dead in a triple murder that has rocked rural southeastern Utah.
- The husbands of two women who had been hiking together called authorities Wednesday after they found their wives. A third woman’s body was located inside a nearby home in Wayne County, police said.
- A suspect was arrested in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, in connection with the deaths of the three women, who were in their 30s, 60s, and 80s.
- The arrest followed a multi-state pursuit after authorities tracked a vehicle linked to one of the victims from Utah through Arizona to Colorado. Police stated there is no indication the unidentified suspect had any prior connection to the victims.
- The community in Wayne County, a sparsely populated area, was rattled by the killings, leading to school closures, but authorities have confirmed there is no longer an ongoing threat to the public.
