Eerie update in murder of Moab couple Kylen Schulte & Crystal Turner linked to Gabby Petito case as new details emerge
DISTURBING new details have emerged in the case of a young couple found dead at a Utah campsite.
Crystal Turner, 38, and her new wife, Kylen Schulte, 24, were killed near Moab in August last year.
The case was initially linked to Gabby Petito after sleuths pointed out the couple was in the same town over the same weekend.
Schulte's dad Sean-Paul even said the couple might have played pool with Gabby Petito and her fiancé Brian Laundrie at Woody's Tavern in the hours before their death.
But police in May said Adam Pinkusiewicz confessed to killing the two women before killing himself.
Petito was killed by her boyfriend Brian Laundrie during a cross country trip.

Now it's emerged Pinkusiewicz's ex boyfriend had known about the double murder but did not come forward to cops.
The former partner has not been named but he is said to have kept quiet after his lover confessed to the crimes.
Officers said he knew details about the location of the bodies which had not been made public at that time.
Police later confirmed victims Schulte and Turner had been moved outside of the tent after being shot inside.

The ex said he had stayed silent as he was scared of Pinkusiewicz and did not know he was dead.
Pinkusiewicz's phone showed "extreme signs of racism" and rape and murder fantasies, police said.
He also worked with Turner at a local McDonald's where he is said to have argued with co-workers.
Police also believe Pinkusiewicz to have been the “creepy,” intimidating man Schulte told friends they saw near their campsite shortly before their deaths.
Pinkusiewicz fled Utah and killed himself within weeks of the slayings, Sheriff Steven White said.
Investigators had long considered Pinkusiewicz a person of interest and had tried to find and talk to him.
It was his suicide note which confirmed the existence of his ex.
