Noon
Angel comes into the bedroom and says, “Can we go on a ride? I need to talk to you.”
“Can’t it wait? I really need to like focus on packing right now.” Meagan responds.
“No. Let’s go.” Angle responds gruffly.
“Angel, please, like can we just talk in here? I am packing. Like I need to pack.”
Angel walks across the bedroom to get closer to Meagan and says, “If you don’t go with me, stuff’s going to happen.” Meagan has never been ordered around like that before by Angel and she sees anger in his eyes that she has never witnessed before.
Meagan and Angle go out to the garage and tell Uncle Buck that they need to go get some people to help them move. He notices that Meagan is upset, and Angel is in a hurry. He says, “Well, can’t you use the phone?” Angel explains that they don’t have a vehicle, so they need to go get them. Tori has given Meagan gas to gas up the cars for the move. Angel says, “Let’s go now. We’ve go to go now.” Meagan replies, “Okay.” Uncle Buck then asks them, “How long you going to be?” Meagan replies, “Not long.”
Angel and Meagan then left the garage and get into her white Tundra pick-up truck. Meagan has some gas money that her mother had given her to gas up and she tells her mother she will be right back. At this point Meagan is under the impression that they are going to go talk to some friends. Meagan just starts driving, she starts heading towards Eagle Mountain. She is working her way towards Five Mile Pass.
As the Meagan starts driving towards Eagle Mountain Angel’s phone rings. Meagan looks down at the center console and sees that it is a number from Mexico, Angel’s mother is currently living in Mexico. Angel picks it up and talks for a few minutes. Angel watches as his face goes white and Angel starts to get even more and more anxious.
Meagan, wondering what was going on, says, “Angel, what’s wrong?”
“They got a warrant out for me.”
“Okay, are you going to go take care of it? You need to go take care of it. All you got to do is go in there and talk to them. You’ll be fine.”
Angel just sits there and does not respond. Meagan notices that he is looking “really, really nervous, and… really, really anxious. … like he didn’t know what he was going to do.”
Meagan breaks the silence by saying, “Do you want me to drive you up there? We can just grab your stuff. I’ll drive you up there.”
12:21
Later that day at 12:21 Officer Dutson receives a call from dispatch about a noise complaint from a resident.1 He makes phone contact with the complainant. She tells Deputy Dutson that the music has stopped and that she does not want him to contact the neighbor or come out to her house. She then tells him that she will call if the music starts up again. Officer Dutson makes note of the conversation and takes no further action.
Angel and Meagan turned onto SR-73 as they argue about why Meagan is moving to St. George. Angel insists that the reason they are moving is because of Uncle Buck, the Uncle that is still at the Grunwald house helping pack for the trip. Meagan explains, “It’s not over my Uncle Buck. I have my reasons why this is ending.” He intended to leave it at that, but Angel keeps the subject going. “Angel, it’s not over my Uncle Buck. I promise.” Meagan then gives him the reasons why she was upset with Angel. Those reasons include him lying about his age to her, the fact she now knows he has a family and two kids in Mexico, another girlfriend in Utah that is pregnant, as well as not being totally truthful about why he was in prison. By this time Meagan has started crying.
They drive for a few minutes in silence as they pass the Maverick gas station and some houses. Then Meagan is startled when she hears two gunshots out of the passenger window. She then turns the truck around and pulls over. “Angel, what are you doing?” she looks at him and continues, “I’m pretty positive like you’re not supposed to have that. You need to get out of my car. Like I don’t want – I don’t want you in my car anymore!” Because the snow is falling, and she does not want to get hit by another vehicle she puts on her hazards. Her face is now red, and her eyes are swollen from crying.
