🚨 TRIPLE MURDER SUSPECT IN CUSTODY Authorities say 22-year-old Ivan W. Miller of Iowa has been arrested after three women were found dead in Wayne County, Utah. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, investigators believe Miller first killed an elderly woman in her 80s at her home in Lyman, stole her vehicle, and then drove about 15 miles to a hiking trail near Torrey, where two women in their 30s and 40s were also killed. The hikers were reported missing by their husbands, who later discovered their bodies. Investigators then traced a stolen vehicle back to the elderly victim’s home, where her body was found. Authorities tracked Miller using license plate readers and vehicle data, following the car through Utah, northern Arizona, and into Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where he was arrested without incident. Officials say the victims appear to have been randomly targeted for their vehicles. Their names have not yet been released.
