Lt. Matt Elson,West Valley City Police Dept.: "We are not sure of their relationship yet, like I said, I don't know if this was a random thing, if they knew each other or if they just met each other... we're still trying to figure all that out."
Police set up a containment area, and searched it extensively using canines. The search did not turn up anything.
Police are interviewing several witnesses to see if they can come up with more information on the suspect.
