PROVO, Utah (AP) — The girlfriend of a Utah man accused of killing two teenagers and dropping their bodies down a mine shaft has been arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice.
Utah County authorities say 34-year-old Morgan Reannon Henderson, of Mammoth, was booked into the county jail Friday after she previously was held in Sanpete County on unrelated criminal allegations involving drugs and weapons.
Her boyfriend, 41-year-old Jerrod William Baum, has been arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and other charges in the December stabbing deaths of 18-year-old Riley Powell and 17-year-old Brelynne "Breezy" Otteson.
Authorities say the Eureka teens were stabbed to death because they visited Henderson whom Baum had warned not to have male visitors.

Lewis (formerly Henderson) is considered a key witness to the murders of the teens. Police reports say the night before the two teens went missing, they were at her house.
Throughout the investigation detectives interviewed Lewis about her interaction with Riley. At first police records say she told several different stories. However, during her most recent arrest in Sanpete County on March 25th, Lewis admitted Riley and Breezy came to her house the night they were reported missing to smoke marijuana, records state.
Records say she told them her boyfriend, Baum, was upset when he found out.
"He told her that he had previously instructed her not to have guy friends and that it was too bad because he has never killed an innocent before," the police report said.
