TORREY, Wayne County (UT) — The three women who were shot and killed by an Iowa man at random without warning in southern Utah have been identified.

Margaret Oldroyd, 86, Linda Dewey, 65, and Natalie Graves, 34, were killed by a man who had no prior connection to his victims and no ties to the area, but claimed it "had to be done" to steal their cars, according to prosecutors.

Ivan W. Miller, 22, of Blakesburg, Iowa, was charged in 6th District Court Thursday afternoon with three counts of aggravated murder, a first-degree felony. He is accused of randomly killing three women in Wayne County — including a woman in her 80s at her home in Lyman, and two women who were hiking on the Cockscomb Trail just off state Route 12 between Torrey and Teasdale.

Throw him off a high cliff.

When people ask why, tell them “It had to be done.”

Dead eyes.

22 years old.

Prior history of sociopathic or psychopathic behaviors?

Prior history of substance abuse?

Utah used to have a death penalty via firing squad. Maybe they can randomly shoot him until he stops moving.

"Ah! Knicked him in the arm. Aim lower."

"Dang, shot him in the knee. Aim higher boys!"

"Wow! Nailed him right in the nuts. Just keep shooting in his direction men! Squad's choice."

Utah. Don’t expect any real justice for these victims. This perp survived 40 year and died of natural causes - long enough for this:

“Ralph Menzies is a 67-year-old man with pro­gres­sive­ly wors­en­ing demen­tia. He’s teth­ered to an oxy­gen tank, uses a wheel­chair, is con­fused and dis­ori­ent­ed, and no longer under­stands why Utah is try­ing to kill him … This is rea­son enough to grant mercy.

Mr. Menzies’s record for near­ly 40 years on death row con­firms he pos­es no threat to any­one in prison if giv­en a life with­out parole sentence.”

That’s exactly the argument I’d expect from a trans person. Is this trans violence?

“…Miller said he grabbed his stuff and took the car, but he did not like the car and wanted to find a different vehicle.”

…something with more zip that chicks would dig I assume? Young guy like that doesn’t want a Buick for cryin out loud. Stoning would be appropriate.

At one point Utah gave prisoners a choice of how to die—by hanging or by firing squad. I don’t know if that is still the case.

Call it racist, but the overwhelming majority of serial killers are white guys.

In Utah, death row inmates have been sitting in prison awaiting execution for more than three decades. That’s far too long, one Utah legislator says — and she’s proposing a law change that would potentially speed up the process.

Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman, told a legislative committee on Thursday that she believes the death penalty in Utah is broken, and that the appeals process is taking so long that condemned men are dying of natural causes before they can be executed.

Felony burglary and unlawful possession of a weapon (among other crimes).
