So he killed Kylen & Crystal August 14, 2021. He committed suicide September 24, 2021. When did investigators begin looking for him? I'm a bit confused with him as the prime suspect (presumably) why did it take months before they discovered he was dead? When did they travel to Waterloo and question the SO? He wasn't informed of AP's death until investigators questioned him "this year" according to the article.
I'm also shocked at "No DNA evidence links Pinkusiewicz to the crime scene, Rigby said — most likely because it rained at the campsite for about two days before the bodies were found, and because much of Pinkusiewicz’s personal belongings were not kept after his death." I guess that explains why so many murders go unsolved, I don't know why I thought it would be harder to destroy evidence linking you to a crime.
From the article linked & quoted above:
...Pinkusiewicz died by suicide in an Iowa motel on Sept. 24, 2021, and investigators did not learn he was dead until late March 2022, officials said.

Moab authorities close Kylen Schulte, Crystal Turner case, citing evidence against dead murder suspect
Grand County Sheriff’s Office investigators said Thursday that if the suspect was alive, they would have enough evidence to convict him in the August 2021 killings of newlywed couple Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner in Moab.www.sltrib.com
I read in one of the older news links that LE claimed they had the DNA of the killer. Were they unable to match it to Pinky or were they just blowing smoke back then?
