The red-rock landscapes around Capitol Reef National Park in Utah are known for peaceful hiking trails and quiet rural communities. But this week, that calm was shattered when a man from Iowa allegedly carried out a series of killings across Wayne County – leaving three women dead – all for the sake of stolen cars and credit cards.
Authorities say a 22-year-old man went on a deadly rampage across the community, ambushing an elderly woman inside her home before murdering two other women who were hiking the Cockscomb Trail just off state Route 12 nearby.
