Anybody count how many times law enforcement dropped the ball here?

Once the killing took place they did an incredible job to track him down

Are you implying it’s their fault the murders took place because of how they handled prior encounters with him?

He may have killed before. There was barely an investigation.

How did they drop the ball? If you read the affidavit then you’ll clearly see all the work they put in to arrest this guy. It’s quite remarkable.

  1. Not investigating the first time he killed someone.
  2. The suspended sentence after he stole a gun and threatened police.
  3. He was at the scene, matched the description, and not questioned for some reason.

Probably others I missed.

  1. They did and ruled it self defense.

  2. Probably could have locked him up for that but what are the laws in Utah?

  3. At the time the couple was missing and not yet found murdered. What were they going to do, hold him for their disappearance?
