SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Salt Lake City man is accused of killing three other men who haven't been seen since Nov. 1, 2014.

Authorities on Friday announced the arrest of 53-year-old Richard Christopher on murder and other charges in the killings of 34-year-old Levi Collins, 35-year-old Danny "Kiko" Gallegos and 23-year-old and Braden Emerson. Their bodies haven't been found.

According to charging documents, Gallegos had $200,000 with him to buy a house when he disappeared.

Charging documents say the victims' remains were burned, some at a campground and some at a crematorium.

Online court records don't list a defense attorney for Christopher who could comment on the allegations.
