A Utah man who killed seven family members this month before taking his own life had been investigated for child abuse in 2020. Records obtained by AP shed light on warning signs authorities were aware of years before the murder-suicide.
Two years later, police found eight bodies at the family’s home, including Macie’s. They believe Michael Haight, 42, carried out the shootings two weeks after his wife had filed from divorce and just days after her relatives say he took guns from the house that could have been used to stop him.
The investigator’s notes also shed light on Haight’s treatment of his wife, Tausha. Macie told investigators that her father would often belittle her mother, a charge he denied. In his interview, however, Haight said he had taken his wife’s iPad and cellphone to surveil her text messages to check if she had spoken negatively about his family.
The Iron County Attorney’s office said in a statement Tuesday that their office had been called in 2020 and determined there was insufficient evidence to pursue charges against Haight. It added that prosecutors were not sent interview transcripts or police reports from the Enoch police to review.Matt Munson, the attorney representing Michael Haight’s family, was not immediately available to comment.
