Utah sheriff ‘actively' investigating possible connection between Petito disappearance and double homicide

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that it is "actively looking into any connection" between a double homicide of newlyweds at a campground outside Moab last month and the recent disappearance of Gabby Petito. "The Sheriff’s Office is not ruling anything out at this time and appreciate the concerns of the public and their willingness to contact this office with those concerns and information," the Grand County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The newlyweds, 38-year-old Crystal Turner and 24-year-old Kylen Schulte, were found shot to death at a campground southeast of Moab on Aug. 18, five days after they were last seen leaving a downtown bar.

Bridget Calvert, Schulte's aunt, told KUTV that the couple complained about a "creepy guy" who was making them uncomfortable in their campsite just days before the double homicide. Grand County Sheriff Steven White said investigators think an "outside party" shot the women then fled the area.

Schulte worked at Moonflower Community Cooperative in Moab, which is the same location that Petito and her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, got into a fight on Aug. 12, according to a police report obtained by Fox News.

A witness called 911 to report a "possible domestic violence" incident between the couple on a street near the store.

"The driver of the van, a male, had some sort of argument with the female, Gabbie," a responding officer wrote in the report after interviewing Petito, Laundrie, and the witness.

"The male tried to create distance by telling Gabbie to go take a walk to calm down, she didn’t want to be separated from the male, and began slapping him," the report said.

Gabby and Brian fake all of this for attention.

Is Brian the ‘creepy guy’ the lesbian couple said they ran into while camping?

[EliRoom8]

Turner and Sculte were complaining about a creep (singular male) before they got shot.

A few of things that jump out at me right away about this case.

The bf returned home to Florida and she wasn’t reported as missing for ten days after that.

The bf is refusing to talk to anyone.

The bf just got named as a person of interest today 16 September. Isn’t a significant other ALWAYS considered a person of interest in such cases?

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

Well, bring them to justice and see how things shake out.

[Does so]

Witnesses who will tell no tales...

My wife & I were in Moab this past weekend for a musical festival. Talked to a few residents of the area, in general terms, doubt there is any connection. Close by perhaps but not connected.

Maybe. he is capable of anything evil.
He is mentally ill and Devious and creepy .
He stole her VAN after he probably killed her drive it 2000 miles
away and. his family Stonewalled her family calls and then hid her car and are blocking this investigation .
These Evil New Yorkers fled to FL and appear to have done this hiding and covering up before .
They need to check on the missing young female persons on Long Island.

Most likely the final explanation of the matter will be very bizarre.

[mac_truck]

Have you seen this?

[The bf returned home to Florida and she wasn’t reported as missing for ten days after that.]

Why didn’t her parents report something was wrong earlier? Surely they tried calling her within those ten days.

[Rebelbase]

Missing woman, double homicide and a suspect. Nancy Grace is salivating.

[Getready]

She is always salivating.....biggest time waster in investigative reporting..

[fieldmarshaldj]

Those Duke Lacrosse players she slandered should’ve sued that evil beast into penury. She ought to be cleaning out the grease vat at a taco joint.

He stole her VAN after he probably killed her

It would be dumb to steal it when she could report it as a stolen vehicle...

[DJ MacWoW]

Dead people make phone calls? They must be Democrats because they vote too. ;-)

If he knew she was dead, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting pulled over in a stolen vehicle.
