lesbians Kylen Schulte and Crystal Beck shot murdered and ohn Gerrish, his wife Ellen Chung,

Kylen Schulte and Crystal Beck knew the mountains of Moab well, moving from campsite to campsite in the Utah wilderness with ease. But a week ago, reportedly after telling friends they were spooked by a man they encountered, the married couple disappeared.

“Kylen and Crystal told close friends that there was a weirdo camping near them that was freaking them out !!! And that they should move campsites,” Schulte’s father, Sean-Paul, wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. “Now they have been missing for over 4 days and nights!”

As family put out the word that Schulte, 24, and Beck, 38, had vanished, a friend made a disturbing discovery on Wednesday: two women found shot to death off a scenic road that runs through a national forest. Late Thursday they were identified as the missing women.

The family left for what was supposed to be a day hike on Sunday. The area that bodies which is known as a mining area, had been flagged for toxic algae by the Sierra National Forest, and fliers were put up.
