Comment on the public facebook above is interesting.
Yeah I saw that comment, wonder what that girl knows. She is on Danny Kiko Gallegos friends list on Facebook.

I was going to try and make up a map of where the vehicle was found. Unfortunately, the way the streets are laid out and labeled in Salt Lake City makes you wonder if a totally insane person is responsible for naming the roads around there.
1800 W. 1500 S., (near 1500 S. Redwood) is the location noted in the news articles. Depending how I enter that address, I get directed to 3 or 4 different places, all of them in different areas of town
Bottom line though, it appears as if the vehicle was definitely found in a very populated area, not out in the wilderness somewhere. I thought that since they were hauling around an ATV, that they were found somewhere outside of the city limits, but that appears to not be the case.
Of course, it is very possible that the Tahoe SUV was driven back into town, wiped down for prints, and abandoned. Only God knows where the crime scene may be............or the three men.
Anyway, this is a link to the public Facebook site that has been set up for them.

It is all over FB by his friends that Braden has been found deceased.

Actually, once you understand it, the roads are simple. Everything is on a grid in distance from Temple Square. So, 1500 S. is the Street name, and is about 15 blocks south of Temple Square(give or take a bit). 1800 W. is the same, thing. 18 blocks west of Temple Square. ( This is a general explanation, I haven't lived there in over 10 years).
On that side of town it's not too far to places in the desert that aren't very populated; as well as close to I-80. The area the vehicle was found in is industrial type, the ATV could have lots of indoor places to hide. I am curious too, about which direction for the bullet holes, or if they were new or existing.
Great..........make up a map and post it.

Per site: "Police have confirmed that blood found in an abandoned SUV November 3 does belong to one of three men who went missing almost two weeks ago."
There is also a really interesting comment in the comments section. I would definitely check it out.
Utah court records show that all three have criminal records.
Emerson is on probation after pleading guilty in June to third-degree felony possession of a controlled substance. He was arrested in 2013 with 61 grams of methamphetamine, according to charging documents.
Collins pleaded guilty in January 2013 to third-degree felony possession of a controlled substance. He was arrested in December 2012 with "two large plastic twists" methamphetamine, according to charging documents.
Gallegos pleaded guilty in 2007 to attempted burglary and failure to stop for police, both third-degree felonies, and was sent to prison.
Gallegos is currently being prosecuted for second-degree felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. He was arrested in April 2013 with three pounds of marijuana, according to charging documents.
do you guys feel like the lack of media attention is more likely due to LE request or the criminal background of the missing..?

Here's a newer article that says the ATV and trailer have been located. Seems it was dropped off at a shop for repairs (Odd. You would think the owner of the shop would have notified LE after seeing the media coverage). It also states that the dog found was belonged to Mr. Collins.
This case just baffles me. These are all pretty big guys and just so strange. Personally, this is just based on something I previously read (Am I allowed to say where the fiance is now and why she is rumored to be there?), I think there was only one person targeted and the others happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I think Mr. Gallegos was the intended target. I also think LE is keeping quiet to protect others (sort of an informant type situation from his past.).
Just sad. Regardless of their past...they deserve to have more coverage. I've known a couple people that had sorted pasts and straightened out their lives to be wonderful contributing members of the community. Mr. Emerson was just a young kid and had his whole life in front of him.
