An alert for Main was sent out after the body of a 56-year-old man was discovered at a home during the investigation of Main’s alleged abduction of two men at gunpoint Friday night, Duchesne County Sheriff’s Lt. Jeremy Curry said.

According to victims, Main forced them into a vehicle and took them to a home.

Authorities say the victims and another person got into an altercation and Main fired a shot before fleeing in a car.
