FBI, Saratoga Springs Police Launch Jordan River Search for Evidence in March Double Homicide

The dive is part of broader evidence recovery efforts after months without public updates.

Overview

  • Dive teams from the FBI and Saratoga Springs Police began searching sections of the Jordan River and surrounding banks near the victims' townhome on Monday.
  • Police describe the river work as one of multiple evidence searches now underway, while declining to specify what items are being sought.
  • No arrests have been made, no suspects have been named, and investigators say no firearm has been recovered in the case.
  • Officials say lower water levels at the end of irrigation season enabled a renewed search after an earlier high-water magnet sweep found nothing.
  • The Orton family voiced support for the effort and police asked anyone with information to call the Saratoga Springs Investigations Unit at 801-766-6503.
