Southern Utah authorities are no longer investigating the August 2021 killings of newlywed couple Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner in Moab, announcing on Thursday that the case is now considered closed.
Investigators said Thursday that if the man was alive, they would have enough evidence to convict him.
“If he was alive, this would be a situation where we have enough to place him under arrest,” said detective Carrie Rigby, an investigator with Unified Police, “and we feel like we would be able to take him to trial and get a guilty conviction.”Early in the investigation, Pinkusiewicz was considered a person of interest in the double homicide, officials said. But he was not questioned by police before leaving Moab.
Once investigators made contact with Waterloo police in March, they found that Pinkusiewicz had used the same type of ammo used in the Utah killings in his September suicide, but with a different handgun. Authorities this year traveled to Waterloo to meet with Pinkusiewicz’s significant other, whom they verified was not in Utah at the time of the killings. The man immediately told investigators that he knew they were there to talk about the two people Pinkusiewicz had killed in Utah, Rigby said.
“In his actions, there were [signs he was homophobic]; there were comments he had made to other people that would indicate that he was homophobic; but the unfortunate part is we don’t know the whole dynamic,” Rigby said, noting that Pinkusiewicz’s significant other was male.
