Black explained that evidence located during the investigation led detectives to Shawn Andrews, as being the person responsible for Debra Andrew’s death. Officers are still trying to piece together the details of what lead up to her murder.

Police believe there is no evidence indicating any ongoing threat to the community.

Detectives from North Park Police in partnership with Logan City Police Department, Smithfield City Police Department, the Utah State Crime Lab, and the Special Bureau of Investigation helped conduct interviews and process the crime scene.

Black said, “Our heartfelt condolences go out to Debra Andrews family and friends during this difficult time.

      I read in another article this paragraph:
      “Neighbors said Shawn Andrews lived in the apartment with his mother and brother. On Saturday, they reported seeing Shawn walk away from the scene and his brother crying outside.”

      Have you talked to Shawn’s brother (your other cousin) to see what he said happened?

      Sometimes bad things lead people to commit crimes you wouldn’t imagine they’d ever do. They’re still investigating but evidence so far points to him. Sorry about your family, I hope it isn’t true.
