Margaret Oldroyd, 86, was found murdered at her home in Lyman, Utah; her death is reported to have occurred on or around March 4, 2026. A long-time resident described as enjoying yard work and known at the local grocery store, Oldroyd was shot in the back of the head while sitting and watching television. Her body was concealed in a cellar under a shed on her property after an intruder entered the house and later fled in her Buick.

Investigators linked her death to a wider crime spree. A 22-year-old man from Iowa, Ivan Miller, reportedly sheltered on Oldroyd’s property after his truck had been disabled in a collision with an elk, then used her vehicle and later abandoned it at the Cockscomb Trailhead. Authorities say Miller was tracked through license plate readers and the stolen Subaru’s tracking system and was arrested on March 5, 2026, in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. He confessed to Oldroyd’s killing and to two other murders; prosecutors charged him with three counts of aggravated murder.

Did anyone in Lyman recognize anything unusual around Oldroyd’s property in early March 2026?
