Last summer, St. George Police responded to an apartment complex to conduct a social screening on Hall after his supervisor reported that he had not shown up for his shift.

Investigators say Hall was found dead inside, but Huntsman was nowhere to be found. Days later, Huntsman was arrested by Northern California police in Hall’s car.
