Northern Crimes

Special Report: The Capitol Reef Murders


Listen Later

In March 2026, the quiet communities of Lyman and Torrey, Utah, were shattered by a targeted killing spree that claimed the lives of three women. This special episode examines the timeline of Ivan Miller, a stranded traveler from Iowa whose presence in Wayne County turned deadly.

The investigation details the calculated nature of the crimes, beginning with the death of 86-year-old Margaret Oldroyd and concluding in the ambush of two hikers at the Cocks Comb trailhead. We explore the inter-agency manhunt across state lines and the systemic impact on a region where violent crime is virtually unknown. As legal proceedings begin, we analyze the forensic evidence and the chilling confessions of a suspect who claimed these acts "had to be done".
