MOAB, Utah (AP) — Fear and grief are gripping the normally fun and friendly southern Utah town of Moab, which has been rocked by two high-profile criminal cases. The Deseret News reports the shooting deaths of beloved locals Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner have gone unsolved for over a month. Some fear the murderer is still in town or the mountains.

Officers separated them for the night but ultimately let them leave shortly before Petito disappeared and was ultimately found dead.
