Adam Pinkusiewicz, who has been identified as the suspect who shot a newlywed couple to death at Utah Campsite by the police, has committed suicide.

The Grand County Sheriff's Office has identified a suspect in the double murder of a married couple south of Moab last August. In a news release issued on Wednesday, Adam Pinkusiewicz was named as a suspect in the murders of Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner.

The couple's bodies were discovered on Aug. 18 at a campground in the South Mesa section of the La Sal Mountains. According to the sheriff's office, Pinkusiewicz told another person that he murdered the women and revealed details that only investigators were aware of.

Pinkusiewicz later committed himself after fleeing the state in September 2021, just a month after the murders of the two ladies.
