Overview
- The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office booked the 31-year-old on two counts of first-degree murder, and he is being held on a $2 million cash-only bond.
- Court documents state his DNA matched swabs from the victims, their vehicle, and blood-stained gloves recovered near the SUV.
- Paperwork says his claim that he never entered the teens’ SUV was contradicted by DNA found inside the vehicle.
- Investigators found the bodies about 1.5 miles from the parked car near a remote Mount Ord campsite, along with shell casings, a bloody pillowcase, drag marks, and other evidence.
- Brown told deputies he had been camping in the area and flying a drone, and a sheriff’s press conference is scheduled Friday morning as the case moves into initial court proceedings.
