UTAH COUNTY -- A 4th District Court judge has sealed search warrants issued in connection with the murder of former BYU professor Kay Mortensen.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, prosecutors requested the warrants be sealed so potential suspects are not tipped off about key parts of the investigation.

Mortensen was killed in what appeared to be a home invasion robbery at his residence in Payson Nov. 16.

There have also been reports several guns were stolen at the time of the crime.
