On the evening of November 2, 2016, near the ghost town of Hiawatha, Utah, 45-year-old Susan Ilene Hansen Peterson was shot and killed near the base of Gentry Mountain. Deputies from the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office responded after a call to Price dispatch reporting a shooting and discovered the bodies of Susan and her 23-year-old son, James Peterson, both suffering fatal gunshot wounds.

A suspect fled in a vehicle described to dispatch; deputies pursued and arrested 25-year-old Seth Gordon Peterson of Ferron. Reports describe troubling behavior by Seth in the days before the killings, including paranoia and claims of being followed and his phone being bugged. He was booked on multiple charges related to the incident, including counts tied to the deaths of Susan and James, and other charges stemming from the flight.

How can anyone who knew the Peterson family — especially neighbors or community members near Gentry Mountain and Hiawatha — add context about the days before November 2, 2016?
