Kylen Schulte (24) and Crystal Turner (38) were a married couple who loved camping. They would often bring their pet rabbit Ruth on camping expeditions with them. 

The two women were known for being deeply in love and protective of each other. The two went camping in the La Sal Mountains which is located near Moab in Utah. The couple were last seen on the 13th. This was at a bar in Moab at around 9.30pm. No one noticed anybody suspicious that night and it didn’t seem that anyone had followed the women out of the bar.

After going camping, the couple were not heard from for three days. A friend of the couple received a call from Kylen’s worried father Sean-Paul. Sean-Paul relayed to the friend that Kylen had told him that the couple had to move their campsite due to ‘’a creeper dude’’.

Concerned, the couple’s friend went looking for them in the mountains. She sadly came across the remains of Kylen whilst talking on the phone with Sean-Paul. She called the police. Police discovered Crystal’s remains nearby. The two women had their clothes removed from the waist down and had multiple shot wounds to their chest and back.

Originally it was speculated that the murders of Kylen and Crystal had a connection to the Gabby Petito/Brian Laundrie case. The couple was reported missing two days after Gabby and Brian were stopped by Moab police. Kylen worked as a cashier at the Moonflower Community Cooperative where Brian was reported to have slapped Gabby in front of. Police quickly ruled out a connection saying that the close proximity of the cases were a coincidence.

In December 2022, the case was officially closed. The man responsible was called Adam Pinkusiewicz and had left the state of Utah after committing the murders. Adam then took his own life. It was reported that Adam had confessed to his boyfriend/lover of killing Kylen and Crystal. It was confirmed Adam worked with Crystal at a McDonald’s. Sean-Paul also confirmed that police had found evidence connecting Adam to the crime scene.

According to some friends Adam committed the crime because he worker with Crystal and said she was “bossy” at work. 

What? How can you do that because someone is quote on quote bossy? Unbelievable.

Some locals believe he was not who killed the couple and that someone else actually did.

What do you think?
