Overview

• Judge Sean Petersen ordered Jacob Ortell Scott, 28, held without bail, citing substantial evidence and a danger to others.
• Troopers investigating the Sept. 17 Lindon crash spotted “two sets of eyes” in the trailer and found the girls, who had no way to escape.
• The tractor-trailer lost a left rear tire around 11:15 a.m., triggering a multi-vehicle collision that injured several people and closed northbound I-15 for hours.
• Investigators documented a thermostat set to about 30°F, with readings as low as 29.5°F, and noted bedding inside the refrigerated compartment.
• USBI and DCFS interviewed the children, whom troopers say are related to Scott, and authorities report no indication of human trafficking.
