Man accused of murd£ring three women gives chilling reason for k!llings

A man accused of murdring two female hikers and an 86-year-old woman in remote Utah has given reasons forthe random k!lling spree. Ivan Miller, 22, allegedly claimed he slaughtered the three women in Utahs south-central desert just so he could steal their cars and credit cards because he needed the cash to get back to his home in Iowa, charging documents state. The suspect, who was nabbed early Thursday, March 5, in Colorado with a handgun and a large knife, allegedly told cops soon after he was cuffed that he didnt want to k!ll the women, but the murders had to be done. The horrifying crime spree kicked off earlier this week when Miller said he struck an elk in a tiny Utah farming town near Capitol Reef National Park and was forced to sell his truck to a towing company. After spending several nights in a motel, Miller then allegedly broke into 86-year-old Margaret Oldroyds home in Lyman and shot her from behind as she was watching TV, prosecutors allege.  He made off with her Buick, but later decided he wanted a different vehicle, according to court documents. Miller allegedly dumped that getaway vehicle at a trailhead roughly 10 miles from the first victims home when he spotted two female hikers Linda Dewey, 65, and Natalie Graves, 34 getting out of a Subaru. He shot and stabbed the two women before trying to hide their bodies in a dry creek bed, and then fled with their car, the charging documents state.  Authorities started probing the sickening ordeal after the husbands of the two hikers discovered their bodies at the trailhead when the women failed to return home on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Cops later discovered the first victims body after running the abandoned Buicks license plate. Miller was eventually tracked down in neighboring Colorado after a multi-state search. Investigators havent found a motive for the k!llings but dont believe he targeted the women for any reason other than convenience, Lt. Cameron Roden of the Utah Department of Public Safety said. He has been hit with aggravated murdr and a slew of other charges.The post Man accused of murdring three women gives chilling reason for k!llings appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
