- Page 2 of Affidavit for Search Warrant No. 1775411 -

Affiant believes the property and evidence described above is evidence of the crime
or crimes of Obstruction of Justice
Desecration of a dead human body
Homicide.

The facts to establish the grounds for issuance of a Search Warrant are:

I Detective Tyler Johnson have attended the Utah Peace Officer Standards and
Training Law enforcement officer and Corrections Officer Academy. I have a
Bachelor's Degree in criminal justice with a specialty in forensic investigation. I
worked in Sanpete county Jail from October 2009 to August 2011. I have worked
in the patrol division since August 2011. I was assigned as a Detective to the
Sanpete/juab Major Crimes Taskforce in December 2015. During which time I
have received training and experience in investigating multiple types of crimes.
Those crimes include homicide, domestic violence, assault, rape, child abuse,
theft, DUI, possession and distribution of controlled substances, possession
of Illegal Weapons, possession of stolen property, fraud, and traffic related
crimes. I also have training and experience in obtaining and using social media,
cell phone's, and phone records during investigations. I have attend the ZETX
cellphone investigations 40 hour basic Course and 40 hour Subject Matter Expert
course.

1. On 01/02/2018 Riley Powell DOB 04/28/1999 and Brelynne Otteson DOB

01/27/2000 were reported missing.
2. It was reported that they were last heard from on 12/30/2017 traveling home to
Eureka. No contact has been made with either party as of 01/16/18.
3. The two parties were reported to be driving a Dark Blue 1999 Jeep Cherokee
Sport.
4. On 01/11/2018 the jeep was located in the Cherry Creek area. It had two flat
tires on the passenger side and a camouflage tie down strap stuck in the drivers
side rear
leaf spring.
5. Upon further inspection the rear passenger tire had a puncture in the side
wall that appeared to be straight in with a smaller flat shaped object. The front
passenger tire had
two punctures identical to the rear tire. There was no tear in the side wall that
would indicate that the tires where moving when punctured.
6. Both parties have been listed as missing on the National Crime Information
Center data base. As of 01/16 no hits have been made.
7. An extensive search was conducted in Tooele and Juab counties for the
subjects. The search included ground and aviation assets. The search has been
unsuccessful
as of 01/16.
8. It was reported to investigators that a witness had seen a truck described as
a blue two wheel drive Chevy with a Chevy emblem decal on the left side of the

- Page 3 of Affidavit for Search Warrant No. 1775411 -

 tailgate that frequents the property that Mistie Carlson and Lee shepherd live on.
she saw the truck puling a Jeep described as "the one Riley is always driving"
on the 01/02/2018 south bound from Tooele county Lofgreen area. investigators
learned that the description of the truck matched that of a truck drive by Lee
Shepard . Lee is the boyfriend of Mistie Carlson who is Riley's Mother. The
reporting party is a close neighbor to Mistie and Lee who live on the above
listed property with Linda Powell (Riley's Grandma), and William "Clubby" Larson
(Linda's Boy Friend) .
9. On 01/15/2018 Tooele county and Sanpete Juab Major crimes Task Force
detectives went to Mistie and Lee's residence. The driveway to the residence is
at approximately Latitude 40.019380° Longitude -112.279809° on the west side
of HWY 36 near Lofgreen Utah to ask the four to come talk with investigators at
the Tooele Coutny Sheriff's Office.
10. I observed a tie down strap that was identical in camouflage pattern to the
one stuck in the jeep leaf spring in the bed of the truck matching the description
of the truck that was described by the witness as pulling Riley's Jeep. the truck
had a Utah plate of Y863T
11. I also observed a similar truck with Utah plate F382BF in the same dirt drive
way. however no decal was observed.
12. Mistie, Linda, and Clubby came willingly to the sheriff's office. Lee refused to
come and stayed at the property.
13. I observed Lee entering a enclosed camp trailer to the north of the modular
home above described.
14. During the interviews Clubby was asked if Lee and Mistie were at his house
on New Years Eve. He stated that they were not and that they had previous plans.
he was not sure where they were.
15. In Mistie's interview she claimed that she was at Linda's and Clubby's all night
New Years Eve.
16. Prior to the interviews Investigator spoke to a Gus Atherley who was at the
party according to himself and "Clubby" . Mistie was asked who was at the party
and failed to mention Gus.
17. In my training and experience it is common for people to use their cell phones
in the planing, committing, and covering up of criminal activity.
18. based on the above facts it is suspected that the blue Chevy truck described
above was used to transport, conceal, hide, and plant the victims vehicle in cherry
creek at the location it was discovered, to give the illusion that the victims where
indeed stranded.

WHEREFORE, your affiant prays that a Search Warrant be issued for the seizure of
said items.

I declare under criminal penalty of the State of Utah that the foregoing is true
and correct.
