Short filmTranscript
00:00Kylan Schulte and Crystal Turner are newly married.
00:06Gosh, you never saw two people more in love.
00:09They called each other big wife, little wife.
00:13Kylan and Crystal were up at their campsite up on the mountain.
00:18They see this man creeping around their campsite.
00:24He starts setting up camp really uncomfortably close to them.
00:29They did make a couple of jokes.
00:32If we don't show up, come look for us.
00:35Or we could be murdered.
00:39From all appearances, they were ready to move camp.
00:43And at that point, nobody knows what happened.
00:46They kind of disappeared.
00:49I started feeling like something was wrong and I needed to hurry.
00:54Someone had to be up on that mountain.
00:58Someone had to have seen those girls.
01:01Someone had to have seen something.
01:03It's the end of the working week and Kylan Schulte and Crystal Turner are getting ready for a night out.
01:24The couple living the van life and camping in the nearby LaSalle Mountains that straddle the Utah and Colorado border.
01:34The landscape is majestic.
01:39It doesn't matter where you look or where you go.
01:41It is one of the most beautiful places to visit.
01:44There was a sense of freedom to be who you wanted to be.
01:49Kylan and Crystal are still buzzing from their recent wedding.
01:59They're all loved up, sharing stories, laughing with friends.
02:04Well known around Moab, they're fiercely independent, adventurous.
02:12And now as newlyweds, looking ahead to a lifetime together.
02:16Their wedding was spectacular.
02:21They got married in a big giant tree house in the forest.
02:26I was their best man, I was their bridesmaid, I was the ring bearer.
02:35Oh gosh, you never saw two people more in love.
02:41They loved the outdoors.
02:42They loved camping.
02:43They loved dipping in the creek.
02:45They loved their privacy.
02:47And they were also newlyweds.
02:49So they kind of enjoyed that type of atmosphere.
02:54I think just the freedom of being able to lay under the stars,
03:03which the skies in Moab are phenomenal.
03:07They're just phenomenal.
03:11We have strange, rare mountain features
03:15where the stone and the sand is so unique.
03:19You feel like you're at a foreign planet like Mars.
03:23I'm Sean Paul Schulte.
03:32Kylan was my lovely daughter.
03:38She was probably 17 years old when she moved to Moab.
03:46She really started to grow and blossom.
03:51The community got to embrace Kylan.
03:55And she worked at the till at the front desk of this health food store.
04:01And as the guests would come in, they'd see this big, beautiful, tall girl with dreadlocks sticking up and a big, beautiful smile on her face.
04:12She exuded love.
04:13She exuded love.
04:14And you wanted more of that.
04:17You wanted to feel good.
04:19And she made you feel good.
04:21Kylan had a job at the Moonflower Co-op while Crystal was an assistant manager at the local McDonald's.
04:33Even though many would consider their lifestyle to be subpar on the economic scale, they seemed very happy and money did not really resonate to them as a necessity.
04:46When Crystal got off work, she'd drive the van over to Moonflower and they were pretty much inseparable.
04:57Kylan and Crystal meet in 2016.
05:01I was there the first day Kylan saw Crystal.
05:05So, Kylan and I were hiking.
05:08Now, fast forward two, three years, Kylan looked at me and she said,
05:14I just want you to know that Crystal and I are together.
05:18And I was, I had already knew, I already saw this blossoming, I saw this happening.
05:27I'm thrilled to death that you two were in this wonderful relationship together.
05:34And they were just, wow, thanks dad.
05:39I would watch them go into Village Market and they would be dancing and holding hands and twirling.
05:46So, Crystal was shorter and older and leathered up and rode a Harley.
05:58And Kylan was tall and young and beautiful and she was the flower, you know.
06:05They were leather and lace, they really were.
06:07For 24-year-old Kylan and 38-year-old Crystal, Friday night is a time to relax.
06:28They travel into the backpacker town of Moab to meet up with their friends at a local bar.
06:35Woody's has been there for a long time.
06:38And so, it has a charm to it.
06:43It's just very rustic.
06:45World famous Woody's.
06:48Yep, right on Little Mill Creek there.
06:51Right on Main Street.
06:53Just picture like picnic tables and wood and maybe your initials carved in the wood.
06:59Someone singing karaoke or a live band.
07:04We all love in Moab our little Woody's bar.
07:08They have a great time for a couple of hours.
07:10They have a drink or two.
07:11They're playing pool.
07:12They're laughing.
07:13They're joking.
07:17At the pool table, Kylan and Crystal's conversation shifts to something they'd seen the day before.
07:30They had witnessed a disturbing argument between a young couple in town.
07:34The man, social media influencer Brian Laundrie.
07:39Spotted with his fiancee, who would later become his victim, Gabby Petito.
07:46The couple have been traveling through Moab as part of a cross-country road trip in their van.
07:51Documenting their journey on social media to thousands of followers.
07:56We've been lucky so far at all the places we've stayed.
07:59But I'd say this is one of the best so far.
08:01So wait till you hear this.
08:06Crystal came to the Moonflower to pick up Kylan after work.
08:14While they were sitting in the van, they saw a guy punch a girl in the face.
08:20The guy tried to drive off in the van and the girl like dove in the window to go off with him.
08:31It was Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito.
08:36Kylan and Crystal decided to call 911 and report that there was this assault, this argument occurring.
08:44Later that day, Moab police catch up with Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito.
08:53I'm just going over here.
08:55Gabby was visibly upset.
08:57I don't know.
08:58We've been fighting the whole morning and he wouldn't let me in the car before.
09:03You want to tell me about those scratches on your face?
09:05She had his cell phone on her hand.
09:06That's why I was pushing her away.
09:08They bring Laundrie in for questioning and later bail him to a motel in downtown Moab before releasing him without charge.
09:16My name's Nate Whitney.
09:17I work for the Grand County Sheriff's Office here in Moab, Utah.
09:22Domestic violence in the state of Utah is a misdemeanor offense and it's usually handled at the patrol level unless there's a serious bodily injury that's occurred.
09:31In which case, and sometimes I get called out on those and other times I don't.
09:36That being said, this case was handled by the Moab City Police Department.
09:40At the bar on their night out, Kylan and Crystal talk about another unsettling incident happening at their campsite.
10:03A strange man, another person living the van life, hanging around too close for comfort.
10:11They reported to their friends that there was a creeper dude camping next to them.
10:18Kylan and Crystal were up at their campsite up on the mountain and somebody had howled like a wolf and Crystal howled back.
10:27They can't recognize him. He's described as not having a shirt on, having a beard. And he howls, which I think is kind of odd, but also kind of funny.
10:39Later on that evening, they see this man creeping around their campsite.
10:45The creeper dude looking into their tent and it scared them. And fortunate for them, he did not see them because they were in a hammock and in some trees, a grove of trees right next to him.
11:00And they witnessed him do this. So that's a little weird.
11:07He starts setting up camp really uncomfortably close to them.
11:11He was close enough that they could look over and see that he had taken food and clothing out of his car.
11:22He had kind of ended up camping what they thought was too close to them because there's a million acres out there.
11:32We don't have to be right next to each other. It was uncomfortable for them.
11:36As the night continues, Kylan and Crystal chat with their friends at the bar.
11:48They become increasingly concerned for the couple.
11:52The girls were like, we're not really worried about that.
11:55There's two of us and one of him and it's not that big of a deal.
11:58And back up the mountain, they went.
12:03One of their friends says, hey, you can come stay with us in our house.
12:06And they're kind of encouraging them, you know, why don't you move?
12:10And they said, no, no, our bunny rabbit's up there.
12:14That's our campsite.
12:16We love our privacy.
12:18We're going back up there.
12:20Ruth was Kylan's bunny rabbit who was in a cage up there at their campsite.
12:25But they did make a couple of jokes, you know, such as, you know, if we don't show up, come look for us or we could be murdered.
12:36It was all just in jest.
12:38It was just a joke because they didn't really think that they were actually in danger.
12:43They went back to their campsite, their last night at this campsite, feeling like this is uncomfortable, but we can handle it.
12:53We're going to get up the next day, tomorrow, and we are going to pack up our stuff and we are going to just move.
12:59And the problem will be solved.
13:01The girls got home to their tent about shortly after one o'clock in the morning.
13:19Someone had to be up on that mountain. Someone had to have seen those girls. Someone had to have seen something.
13:49Someone had to be up on that mountain.
13:53In the mountains, Kylan and Crystal are packing up after a creepy man sets up camp close to them.
13:59They get up, they go to the gas station, later confirmed by CCTV.
14:11They come back and they start packing up.
14:15They put Ruth, the rabbit, in her cage.
14:18They're starting to gather their belongings and, you know, from all appearances, they were ready to move camp.
14:27And at that point, nobody knows what happened.
14:31They kind of disappear.
14:33Nobody hears from them.
14:36800 miles away, Kylan's father, Sean Paul, gets a worrying call at his home in Montana.
14:57I get a call from Moonflower.
15:01She says, Sean Paul, I don't know how to tell you this, but Kylan has pulled a no call, no show.
15:09She's missing.
15:11And she said, wait, Sean Paul, there's more.
15:15Crystal.
15:17Because when Kylan came up missing, we called McDonald's.
15:21Crystal has missed two shifts.
15:24No call, no show.
15:27And I was like, oh, whoa.
15:32I called the police and I said, you need to put an APB out on my girls.
15:38And they said, there's already an ATL.
15:40And I said, what's an ATL?
15:41They said, attempt to locate.
15:44Crystal and Kylan had told people that they worked with that they were camping near the Warner Lake camp area.
15:55Warner Lake is a 30, 45 minute drive from Center of Moab.
15:59It's just a vast area and people have a hard time understanding that there's just so many places where these girls could have been.
16:20With the women still missing, Kylan's dad, Sean Paul, asks the community for help finding them.
16:28Kylan's dad, starts sending out messages on social media, on Facebook, basically begging people from Moab who knew Kylan and Crystal to look for them.
16:40He's like, I can't find them.
16:42They're missing.
16:43Please help me find my girls.
16:46One of the people who sees these Facebook messages is Cindy Sue Hunter.
16:53Sean Paul put the post up on August 17th.
16:57And I read it that morning as I was going through my regular routine.
17:03I'm hearing a voice.
17:05It's more of a gut feeling sensation.
17:10You're going to go.
17:11You have to go.
17:13I just felt an urgency and that this was really important.
17:17So I finally called him and I said, Sean Paul, is this normal?
17:22Do the girls normally no show, no call?
17:24And he said, no.
17:26Cindy said to me in the morning that morning, me and all my doggies are getting in the car and we're going up on the mountain to try to find the girls.
17:51I started feeling like something was wrong and I needed to hurry.
17:58Cindy Sue heads in the direction of Warner Lake.
18:02She's aware that Crystal and Kylan often don't camp in the more popular locations or the organized campsites.
18:10They often camp away.
18:12So she's going everywhere that she can looking for them.
18:17And I got through to her on the phone.
18:20Don't ask me how.
18:22Cindy, hey, it's Sean Paul.
18:24Did you have any luck?
18:25Oh, no.
18:26I looked all over.
18:29By now, Cindy Sue has been searching for Kylan and Crystal with her dogs for over two hours.
18:35Just as she's about to head back to Moab, she catches sight of something.
18:41I passed Whispering Oaks and shortly after that I went over a cattle guard and that's when I saw a flash of silver.
18:52Holy cow, Sean Paul, hold on a second.
18:55I see a glimmer of silver out of the corner of my eye.
19:01Holy cow, I think I see the girls' van.
19:04Then I backed up and looked again and I'm like, oh, there's a campsite down there.
19:11And as I was approaching, I was like, oh, it's a silver Kia.
19:15And I knew that's what the girls drove.
19:19Then I turned around and I saw there was a tent.
19:22There's a bunny rabbit in a cage.
19:25I'm like, oh, my God, Cindy Sue, you found the girls' campsite.
19:29Do you see the girls?
19:31She took a few steps and then she went silent.
19:37I look to the left and I see a body and I immediately just turn away.
19:45She said, I see a body.
19:51She was in shock.
19:54And he's going, is it Kylan? Is it Crystal?
19:58And I don't want to tell him it's Kylan.
20:00I know it's Kylan because she's so much bigger than Crystal.
20:05And I tell him I don't know.
20:10And I look again and then I have to tell him that it's his baby girl.
20:21Of course, I'm losing it.
20:23I'm in Montana, distraught.
20:25I'm on the floor like a puddle.
20:26I don't know what's going on.
20:28All of a sudden, she sees Kylan in a creek, clearly dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
20:43She's naked from the waist down.
20:45He asked me then if I see Crystal and I don't.
20:51And I said, I'll go look for her.
20:54And Sean Paul starts screaming, no, get back in your car.
21:00They could still be out there.
21:02And, uh, that's when fear hit me.
21:13Immediately, Cindy Sue calls the police.
21:18As soon as Cindy Sue called 911 and let us know that she had found the girls,
21:24I was immediately called up and dispatched to the location.
21:31According to their forensics, they determined that the two girls were shot while in their tent,
21:38but their bodies were found outside the tent.
21:41Kylan was found face down in a small stream nearby,
21:47and Crystal's body was found a dozen yards or meters further away.
21:56Their campsite, over here, somebody had a campfire ring.
22:04Myself and former Lieutenant Kim Neal started processing the scene.
22:11We had to do that fairly quickly because there was a big storm head coming in.
22:16We were worried it was going to wash away even more evidence.
22:23There was blood underneath the mattress in the tent, but not next to the mattress.
22:29And then I remember wondering why one body was in one location of the creek
22:35and the other body was in another location of the creek.
22:38They both had been shot five times.
22:43I kept having this sense that I need to hold the bunny,
22:46and, uh, I just wanted to keep her safe for the girls.
22:51And then when I got home, I realized I wasn't okay
22:57and that I couldn't take care of the bunny.
23:02I mean, I just, I couldn't function.
23:08We were behind the eight ball the entire time.
23:11It turns out that the homicide happened on August 14th.
23:16The bodies weren't discovered till August 18th.
23:20From my training and from the stuff that I've studied,
23:23I felt like this was more of a crime of passion,
23:27especially with the amount of injury, the amount of gunshots fired,
23:31the things like that.
23:32Up in the LaSalle Mountains, Cindy Sue has found the bodies of missing couple Cullen Schulte and Crystal Cullen.
23:37They have been shot multiple times.
23:38The bodies of missing couple Cullen Schulte and Crystal Cullen.
23:39They have been shot multiple times.
23:40The bodies of missing couple Cullen Schulte and Crystal Cullen.
23:42They have been shot multiple times.
23:43Based on the ballistics, they were actually killed while in their town.
23:45The bodies of missing couple Cullen Schulte and Crystal Cullen.
23:47They have been shot multiple times.
23:49Based on the ballistics, they were actually killed while in their tent.
23:59Cullen was found face down in a small stream nearby.
24:04And Crystal's body was found a dozen yards or meters further away.
24:25The police put out a statement less than 24 hours later saying the public is safe.
24:37They did a press release and we're all going,
24:41wait a minute, what do you mean we're safe?
24:43How do you know that?
24:48With a double murder to solve,
24:50law enforcement methodically rules out potential leads.
24:54By now, the case has gripped the local community,
24:58especially with growing speculation about a possible connection
25:01to the high profile disappearance of Gabby Petito.
25:06He really stresses me out and I just...
25:10This is a rough morning.
25:12Talk to Gabby, all right?
25:14Yeah, I just spoke to her.
25:15So, you want to do me a favor?
25:17Let's go ahead and get you to step out of the vehicle, alrighty?
25:20At this stage, Brian Laundrie denies any involvement in Gabby's disappearance.
25:26But as suspicion around him grows, some openly speculate.
25:31Could he have been the creeper dude Kylan and Crystal spoke about on their last night out?
25:37It really added to the suspicion that maybe Brian Laundrie was responsible for Kylan and Crystal's death
25:45because his girlfriend goes missing.
25:47He was also in town.
25:49These two girls go missing.
25:50There was a nexus between it all.
25:53Oh my God, did that guy think that the girls turned him in?
26:00And so he went and murdered our girls?
26:07When Brian Laundrie was first brought up,
26:10if you get any information that might pan out,
26:13you always have to go and you have to either eliminate somebody as a suspect
26:16or build evidence to support the fact that they are a suspect or a person of interest.
26:20If we left it up to the Moab Police Department,
26:25who had zero experience in dealing with a double homicide,
26:30it would never have gotten solved.
26:34I decided that what I was going to do was
26:37I was actually going to try to solve the crime myself.
26:41So I started the Clue booth.
26:43And every morning for, I think, 33 days,
26:46I would be there from 9 till noon,
26:49taking in real clues from the community.
26:52And from noon till 1, I would do press.
26:55The thing that Sean Paul did that we really liked
26:59is people would come to him
27:01who weren't comfortable coming to talk to law enforcement.
27:04Well, he's got the Clue booth set up again.
27:07If he doesn't get any more clues today or tomorrow
27:11on who murdered them,
27:13he's going to call it quits.
27:16Well, good luck, brother.
27:19He's got 30 clues already, though.
27:23So that's good. He's turned them all in.
27:25Every once in a while, he was able to bring us something
27:28that we were able to look further into.
27:32So we didn't know if it was Brian Laundrie.
27:35Keep in mind now, I have my Clue booth,
27:37and everything's happening all at once here.
27:40All of these things intersected and happened
27:42at the exact same time as my girls went missing.
27:47With speculation mounting that Brian Laundrie killed his fiancée
27:57after he murdered Kylan and Crystal,
27:59Laundrie goes into hiding.
28:02Did Brian Laundrie have something to do
28:06with the disappearance of these two girls
28:08and their subsequent murder?
28:10So by the time that Brian Laundrie was assumed
28:16to have been involved,
28:18the Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito case
28:20was already ongoing.
28:28For Kylan's father, Sean Paul Schulte,
28:31and the many others now closely following the case,
28:33one of the key suspects is about to be ruled out.
28:37Brian Laundrie has taken his own life.
28:41But before doing so, he writes a confession,
28:45tellingly, however, not to the murders of Kylan and Crystal.
28:50Meanwhile, after overcoming significant challenges,
28:54police secure a crucial piece of evidence,
28:57cell phone records.
28:59This breakthrough could finally determine
29:01who was and wasn't in the area
29:03when Kylan and Crystal were killed.
29:06They had the cell phone records.
29:09In the cell phone data,
29:10we were able to confirm that Brian Laundrie
29:13and Gabby Petito were not in the area
29:15at the time of the homicide.
29:17But while one theory is now dismissed,
29:24the real killer is still out there.
29:32Investigator Nate Whitney decides his next move
29:35is to revisit the initial investigation,
29:37re-examining the case from the start.
29:40We decided to just hit everything from the very beginning
29:44really hard again,
29:45and we ended up getting a warrant
29:48and seizing Cindy Sue's phone.
29:55I am in my new home in a new state,
30:00and I am unpacking, and I'm home alone,
30:04and there's a knock at the door,
30:05and there's three officers standing at the front door.
30:09And they said,
30:10well, we're here to serve you with a warrant.
30:12You're a suspect and a murder.
30:16And they said,
30:18the murder in Moab,
30:19and we're here to take your phone.
30:23I found them.
30:24I didn't kill them.
30:25I would never kill anybody.
30:27I cannot quit crying.
30:29I completely am losing myself.
30:32I am overwhelmed,
30:34and in shock.
30:37They took my phone.
30:51It put me back into fear mode,
30:54waiting for them to come and frame me
30:56for something I didn't do.
30:58And then less than a month later,
31:01they do the announcement that they know who did it.
31:06And I'm just going,
31:07wait a minute.
31:10Then why'd you serve me with a warrant?
31:12And say it was a suspect if you know who did it.
31:16And that's why I had such a hard time accepting
31:18that they had caught the killer,
31:21or knew who the killer was.
31:23Because why would you do that to somebody?
31:29Anytime somebody is murdered,
31:30you look at the family,
31:32you look at friends,
31:33you look at the person who found them.
31:35You look at everybody as if they could potentially be
31:38a person of interest until you can prove they're not.
31:41When we see Cindy Sue's phone,
31:43it was to make sure that what she had told us
31:46about her whereabouts and who she had talked to
31:49and what she had said was true.
31:52Cindy Sue should have had a ticker tape parade
31:56and been given the key to the city,
32:01not treated like a suspect.
32:04Police established that Cindy Sue has been telling the truth.
32:13Her story stacks up.
32:16At this point,
32:17local private investigator Jason Jensen offers his services pro bono.
32:24He literally broke down and shared his gratitude with me
32:28that it felt like a huge relief that somebody was going to help him
32:33because he didn't feel at the time he was getting all the help
32:37he could out of law enforcement.
32:40There were so many tips from people from all walks of life saying,
32:44look at this guy, look at this guy, look at this guy.
32:46And I'm sure they were just being pulled in multiple directions.
32:50Like, which way do we go?
32:52This is where Crystal and Kylan camped.
33:05And the creepy dude was most likely right there.
33:09As Sean Paul and Jason Jensen work,
33:12gathering clues and speaking to the local community,
33:15one name keeps coming up.
33:19Clues came in about Adam Pinkawitz.
33:24The clues were from Crystal's workmates from McDonald's.
33:30Adam Pinkawitz was somebody who seemed to be somewhat estranged from his family.
33:35He also lived the van life.
33:39He was living out of his car, which was a Toyota Yaris,
33:44an unorthodox car to be living the van life in.
33:48But he would have a tent.
33:51He had had a significant other, a man that he had dated for a while.
33:56They had also been somewhat disconnected for a few months at the time that he moved to Moab.
34:05Adam Pinkawitz, who's been travelling across America to find a job,
34:10is now working at the same place as Crystal Turner.
34:14But they're not on the same shift pattern.
34:17The pair never works together.
34:19Their paths rarely cross.
34:21And during the COVID pandemic, they're always required to wear a mask when on shift.
34:27Adam and Crystal worked at the same McDonald's,
34:30but Crystal was the morning shift, Adam was the night shift.
34:35They never worked at the same time together.
34:38Adam Pinkawitz, who's been camping to save money,
34:41has a plan to move on once the summer comes to an end.
34:45But in the meantime, there's been some friction with his colleagues.
34:48He seemed to be somebody who had a lot of anger built up.
35:01So for example, on August the 8th, very shortly before Crystal and Kylan were killed,
35:09he had gotten into a verbal altercation with a manager at McDonald's
35:15and ended up being asked to leave.
35:19There's no evidence that Crystal and Adam had a conflict,
35:25that they fought, that they exchanged words, anything like that.
35:30Right after Kylan and Crystal disappeared, Adam failed to report back to work
35:36and even refused to come back and pick up a final check.
35:40Who doesn't pick up their final check?
35:42The investigation now turns to every fine detail,
35:55re-examining distance surveillance footage from the weekend of Kylan and Crystal's murder.
36:00At 11.48, one particular camera, positioned over a mile from the crime scene,
36:07picks up what sounds like faint gunshots echoing in the distance.
36:13Shortly before those gunshots, another surveillance camera records a small black Toyota Yaris
36:19making its way up towards the couple's remote campsite.
36:23Exactly 66 minutes later, the same car is seen coming back down the same road, away from the crime scene.
36:32One of the vehicles that stood out to them as being unusual was a black Yaris, you know, a little teeny compact car.
36:42Greg MacArthur's actually the detective that while watching the footage of all these cars going on the LaSalle loop road,
36:53he picked out the black Yaris and for some reason it stood out to him.
36:57It didn't fit in his mind and he stuck with it.
37:00With surveillance footage revealing a crucial timeline and a black Toyota Yaris linked to the scene,
37:18detectives now have a clear direction to move the case.
37:24With Adam Pinkowitz officially identified as a person of interest,
37:28they begin attempting to link their suspect to the car, working methodically through a process of elimination.
37:36Because Adam Pinkowitz had left town so early, they had no idea where to look for him.
37:42After he had committed the crimes, he had actually physically moved the girls and must have got blood all over himself.
37:53All of that evidence had already been washed away more than once.
37:58Now, had they put an APB out right away on the little black Yaris,
38:03they literally could have solved this case, I believe, 18 to 20 months earlier.
38:09We were pulling at all the strings, we were tugging on everything we could right there at the end.
38:18We continually tried to contact Adam, but we never got anything back.
38:23We had the FBI running traces on any of his known associates or known possible whereabouts.
38:30And we had the Utah SIAC doing the same thing.
38:34They came to the same conclusion that he was still receiving mail in Hollywood, Florida.
38:39And that's what cracked that case.
38:42After tracking Pinkowitz to an address in Florida, police stopped connecting the final pieces of the puzzle.
38:48Until we got to Florida and Hollywood PD, thanks to them for helping us solve this,
38:55was able to pull up an old incident that Adam Pinkusevich was associated with a black Yaris.
39:01With the suspect's registration plate now identified, police can trace Adam Pinkowitz's movements in the aftermath of the murders,
39:12bringing them even closer to uncovering the full picture.
39:16His vehicle popped up on the radar in Waterloo, Iowa.
39:21Now in Iowa, police catch up with the suspect's ex-partner, who delivers a critical revelation.
39:40The main suspect, Adam Pinkowitz, is already dead.
39:50He had actually committed suicide within weeks of his departure from Utah, from Moab.
40:00In fact, he took his life on September 24th of 21, just weeks after leaving here.
40:07Detectives also find another key piece of evidence.
40:13Eventually, law enforcement caught up with Adam Pinkowitz's significant other.
40:20When law enforcement contacted him, he said, this is about a murder in Utah, isn't it?
40:26And what he explained was that Adam told him he killed a couple of women in Utah.
40:34This lover of Adam's told us details about the crime scene that the only person who would have known these details was the killer themselves.
40:49Pinkowitz leaves a suicide note revealing a possible motive.
40:54His suicide note that was found in Iowa, he did go on a pretty big rant.
41:04He indicated that he had to contend with an unhappy work environment where they complained that he didn't work fast enough.
41:14And he was working with liberal lefties, you know, referring to his lesbian managers.
41:22He brought up the fact that he was tired of being told what to do by these women.
41:31So I don't know if they were telling him to quiet down in his camp or to stop working on his car or to stop playing his music loud at night.
41:39We just don't know.
41:40There was a lot of disturbing discoveries about Adam Pinkowitz.
41:47When they were going through his phone, they saw that he would have notes about how he had these cravings to rape and to murder people.
41:58To shoot two people.
42:01To shoot two people.
42:05I can't even climb into that darkness.
42:07I don't even know how to process that.
42:17The most important thing from the outset was finding out who did it, bringing them to justice if at all possible, and closure for the families.
42:26They got to bury their daughters, and they got to know what happened, as tragic as it was.
42:36They weren't left with those questions looming over them, which so many families have to deal with.
42:42What we can pretty well learn from this experience is that if you really put your effort to it, like Sean Paul did, he can actually get the community to band together, and a bunch of volunteers can have a significant impact on a case, like an unsolved murder or a missing person, that law enforcement can't do alone.
43:07I watched the light shine from inside out of Kylan and Crystal.
43:21I just stepped up to the plate and did what I had to do as a tenacious, loving father.
43:34In 2022, Adam Pinkowitz is officially identified by police as the killer of Kylan Schulte and Crystal Turner.
43:47Adrifter with a violent past, he took the lives of two women who'd just begun their journey together, condemning them to their last night out.
