Though I spend little time in Moab these days, I do enjoy your historical reporting. But murder at Dead Horse Point seems trivial when the double murder of a couple of local women camping is sadly lacking in local or any coverage. There should be a constant beating of the drums so that everyone knows there is murderer near at hand. A lunatic no doubt. Mass publicity and a $10000 dollar reward is the first response. There was a time you would have loved to scare the tourists away. But now you look financially tied to what now an industry not a town.
Wasn’t Brian Laundrie (who murdered his girlfriend, Gabby Petito) considered a suspect? Maybe not, but during the “hunt for the missing Gabby” I read more than a couple times that Brian “was in the area”, etc. and not to be dismissed as possibly “doing the deed”.
