SALT LAKE CITY — A tech worker was charged Wednesday with murder and kidnapping in the death of a Utah college student whose body was found in a wooded area with her arms bound behind her.
He declined to discuss a motive or the nature of the connection between Lueck and Ajayi. He also didn't say what kind of weapon was used."They asked me to express on their behalf the generosity of so many strangers and friends," he said."They are genuinely appreciative and moved by the outpouring of love and compassion."
Police later found the charred phone in the backyard of Ajayi's home in Salt Lake City, along with a bone, muscle tissue and part of Lueck's scalp, Gill said. Gill said phone data puts him at the canyon a week after Lueck disappeared. Police obtained a search warrant for his home the next day.
