Overview
- Police tracked a stolen Subaru via a key fob and automated license-plate readers from southern Utah into Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where Ivan W. Miller, 22, was arrested on March 5.
- Victims were identified as 86-year-old Margaret Oldroyd in Lyman and hikers Linda Dewey, 65, and her niece Natalie Graves, 34, found near the Cockscomb Trailhead by Capitol Reef National Park.
- Charging documents describe a sequence that began after Miller hit an elk, stayed in hotels, then allegedly killed Oldroyd and later the hikers before driving off in their vehicle.
- Miller faces three counts of first-degree or aggravated murder and related offenses in Utah, with a Colorado court date set for May 14 as prosecutors prepare extradition.
- Family statements mourned Dewey and Graves and said the hiking area felt like a safe sanctuary cherished by the community.
