"The suspect whom authorities have not officially identified was taken into custody early on Thursday morning after law enforcement tracked him in one of the victims' vehicles, the Utah public safety department said in a statement. The vehicle was tracked through southern Utah into northern Arizona and eventually into Colorado, authorities said, noting that Colorado law enforcement located the vehicle abandoned in Pagosa Springs, Colorado."
"It does not appear the suspect had any connection to the victims, said Lt Cameron Roden, a spokesperson for the Utah highway patrol. The Utah public safety department said the investigation is continuing while members of the Utah state bureau of investigation and the Utah crime lab process two crime scenes in the Lyman and Torrey area."
"The husbands of the two women found dead on a hiking trail contacted police late on Wednesday after they found their wives' bodies, Roden said. The Utah public safety department said that it is investigating the case alongside local law enforcement agencies, and had said that multiple scenes are being investigated and processed in Torrey."
Three women were discovered dead at two separate locations in Utah on Wednesday. Two victims were found on a hiking trail in the Lyman and Torrey area, while a third was found at a residence in Wayne County. The victims ranged in age from their 30s to 80s. A suspect from Iowa was apprehended early Thursday morning in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, after law enforcement tracked him using one of the victims' vehicles. The vehicle was traced through southern Utah, northern Arizona, and into Colorado before being located abandoned. Authorities confirmed no connection existed between the suspect and victims, with no ongoing public threats or outstanding suspects remaining.
