Police Looking Into Eerie Connection Between Gabby Petito's Disappearance & Double Murder Of Couple

Utah police are investigating a possible connection between Gabby Petito's disappearance and the double murder of a young couple, Kylen Schulte, 24, and her wife, Crystal Turner, 38.
Gabby's family reported her missing on September 11, weeks after she went radio silent during a trip with her fiancé Brian Laundrie. He returned home to Florida without the 22-year-old on September 1.
Days before her last correspondence with her family, Gabby got into an altercation with Brian, who is now a person of interest in her disappearance, at the exact same store where Kylen worked.
Kylen and Crystal were found dead and partially naked at a campground in the La Sal Mountains in Utah. The women allegedly informed their friends a "creepy man" had been bugging them and that "if something happened to them, that they were murdered."
According to reports, police in San Miguel County, Colorado, found a man at a campsite in Telluride — located just two hours from where Kylen and Crystal's bodies were found — who had 30 weapons on him, including knives, hatchets, a cross-bow, and several swords.
Nearby campers were allegedly warned about the man; however, the details surrounding his whereabouts now are murky.
Police in Moab (where Krystal worked) and North Port, Florida, are investigating a possible connection between Gabby's disappearance and the young couple's murder.
