Two roommates in Blanding, Utah, were found shot to death after going missing in late February 2024. Christopher Alan Topher Owens, 28, and William Drew Bull, 29, were last seen on February 25, 2024. Friends grew worried when neither man could be reached and their social accounts went silent. A suspicious text sent from Bull’s phone on February 27, which referenced Owens and contained a misspelling of Bull’s ex-wife’s name, was later traced to the area of the shared residence; at that time the landlord and roommate Charles Youngkuom Yoo was the only person confirmed at the house.

Investigators shifted the case to a homicide inquiry after Yoo gave conflicting statements and a search of the home turned up spots presumed to be human blood on a wall and ceiling. The men’s bodies were recovered on March 22; both had died of gunshot wounds. Ballistic evidence tied bullets and fragments to a firearm owned by Yoo, and cell phone data placed him near the remote desert location where the bodies were found. No motive is described in the available details.

Did anyone in Blanding know Owens or Bull well enough to shed light on their last day together?
