My concern with this, too, is what the dad was quoted as saying in the article above -- so many people coming through Moab are tourists who would be thousands of miles away, potentially, within days of the murders. Like I am so curious if any other campers around there also had an uncomfortable or threatening interaction with a male camper. For me, personally, unless someone actually threatened my life, I don't know that if I was on vacation and got the creeps from someone that I would do anything in terms of report it to police or what not. So let's say I did interact with this killer at a campsite in August, get creeped out, but then I'm on my way to my next destination. I'm not from Moab, and I have not heard of this case and I'm back home now and have no idea the very man I interacted with killed these women.
I know they have put out for anyone in that area between Aug 13-15 to contact LE and there's not much more you can do to reach people, but I do wonder about vacationers having an interaction with him but they are long gone now and have no idea about this case. We are all tuned in to cases like this because we are on WS and have an interest in true crime, but none of my friends here in IL have even heard about this case until I brought it up, for example.
