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.

Thought the same thing. As news consumers we have so many opportunities to scratch our heads, wondering why reporters and editors do what they do and write what they write, it’s a wonder any of us have any hair left.
The real life opposite of #metoo. Sometimes the girl really is asking for it.
No way!
I believe you, but that’s just wrong!
I saw a prepper type on a video that bought a couple of dump truck loads of coal at 35 dollars a ton. Had it dumped into a big hole in his backyard and covered it in dirt.
Ten tons of coal in his own personal backyard coal mine in case of end of the world.
_______
seems that the coal could contaminate a well if stored like that
That’s an interesting approach.
A quick search indicates you can heat a 2500sf house with 3 tons a year in location with a Great Lakes region winter.
That sounds right to me also. But that’s what I saw on TV. I didn’t see that he lined it.
Except he apparently threatened her with harm to her parents and sister. Being in college does not necessarily mean a person has good judgment or thinks straight.
Maybe that's why she didn't leave when she had the chance.
YA, usually it was somewhere else very close though.
Yes, I’ve seen the stoves in Pennsylvania and NY.
I don’t think she suffered any legal consequences—she was obviously an innocent victim of someone who must have been mentally ill. I think she was a high school student. Her father was my colleague at a university where I had a one-year position.
he'll get his in prison......
see, I am an equal opportunity racist.
all you said.....
Sounds to me like the chick was into bondage and S&M so maybe she put herself into this situation willingly?
But then have you respected someone saying No and stopped? Probably not, having been taught that what you want only counts.
“The real life opposite of #metoo.”
Or, as Chris Plante reads it, “pound me too.”
“Sadly common in captive, traumatically abusive circumstances. Evil people get right to work in rearranging the minds of their poor victims.”
I’m confused. When did this topic start talking about Dr. Fauci?
