Missing Utah college student found naked and alive in man’s basement

A 39-year-old Utah man is now facing multiple charges after a college student who was missing for five days was found naked and covered in coal inside his home, reports say. 

Brent Brown, of Loa, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping, rape, object rape and obstruction of justice following the discovery of a Snow College student on Saturday, according to Fox 13. He is now being held without bail. 

The saga involving the student began on the night of Dec. 13, when she was last seen leaving her dorm building in Ephraim. The next day, her roommates reported her missing when she failed to return, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. 

The newspaper, citing a probable cause affidavit, reported that the student met Brown in an online "chat group" and arranged to have him pick her up on Dec. 13 – but in the following days the relationship became nonconsensual and violent. 

Brown allegedly tied the victim up while he was at work, got rid of her phone when he learned police were looking for her, and "threatened her, saying if she left or told anyone about him, he would come after her family and sister," the Salt Lake Tribune reported, citing the affidavit. 

Court documents later stated that police used cellphone tower information to track down the victim at Brown’s home in Loa, about an hour and a half’s drive from where she had last been seen, the newspaper continued. 

The student was found naked and covered with coal in a basement room after Brown – who answered the door at the home when police knocked – initially told officers that nobody else was inside, the affidavit added.

"Are people still using coal to heat their homes? Really?" Yes they are, especially if they live near a coal mine. I grew up in a house with a coal furnace. Some people will only eat pizza from a coal-fired oven.

You are letting your inner green-bean totalitarian show.

Major coal mines exist in that part of Utah.

Well, her parents may be loving but one wonders where she picked up the idea of looking for dates on bondage web sites?

“Fortunately this happened in a jurisdiction where this creep will be prosecuted.”

As I am reading more about the story it seems this was at least partly consensual and perhaps fully consensual on the part of the girl. Law enforcement is still investigating but they say she had some lurid and graphic text exchanges with the accused and he essentially promised to do to her what he did do and she quite possibly entered into the arrangement willingly.

What’s in question here is that she’s of diminished mental capacity so her ability to fully consent to the arrangement may end up in the accused facing at least some charges.

No, just that I haven’t seen a coal chute or a coal fired furnace since I was a little kid in Massachusetts. And the coal furnace I saw had been abandoned in place for an oil fired furnace.

The news article perhaps should have said covered in coal DUST which sounds much more likely.

Hopefully, she’s learned a lesson.

Yes people use coal. But you have to get a little ways outside of the Peoples Republic of California.
The magic rocks are amazing, we have a thousand years worth of them easily. You just dig them out of the ground and they warm you, light your home, provide fuel, help filter water, etc.

Amazing stuff. But the mafic rocks scare the hell outta communists for some reason.

“It rubs the lotion on it’s skin or it get’s the hose again” These girls/women advertising on these “sugar daddy” sites are betting their lives playing a very dangerous game.

For years I augmented my propane, warm air furnace with a wood/coal burner plumbed into my ductwork. Had to give up on that a couple of years ago. Too old and crippled to be dealing with that anymore.

Some women are so damaged from our culture telling them to be assertive and masculine that they’re seeking someone to dominate them. What they really need is a strong and loving husband and not someone to punish them for wanting to be women, wives, and mothers.
