<p class="imageCaption">After the teenager&#8217;s death, the suspect fled the state line to Wyoming where he reportedly dumped incriminating evidence in a convenience store trash can.<br />
Chasing the trail, investigators from Salt Lake City, Utah crossed over the state line and searched the Uintah County landfill.<br />
They found a backpack full of bloody clothing and a knife, in the landfill</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">French reportedly left the friend at a park and went to Bagshaw&#8217;s house.<br />
According to court documents, when French came back, he had blood on his face and hands and said he&#8217;d cut the girl&#8217;s throat.<br />
French then told his friend that they needed to leave town, according to the Tribune. They made their first stop in Wyoming where they reportedly dumped a backpack full of bloody clothing in a convenience store trash can.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">More than 250 officers searched the Uintah County landfill in Wyoming and located a backpack full of bloody clothing, a knife, a balaclava, duct tape, rubber gloves and latex gloves, documents revealed.<br />
Another of his friends told police that French was &#8216;obsessed&#8217; with Bagshaw and said he wanted to marry her.<br />
A few days before Bagshaw was killed, the teen reportedly told her mother that she had sex with French, confessing that the sex began when she was 14.<br />
A short time later, Bagshaw&#8217;s mother received nude photos of the teenager through a Facebook account created by French.<br />
The victim&#8217;s mother reportedly talked about reporting French, who they believed was behind the account, to police.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">A day later, French called his brother, saying he was going to be charged with rape and wanted to cut his own throat, the Tribune reported.<br />
French was tracked down and arrested two weeks ago in southeast Colorado, where is currently being held at the Otero County Jail until he&#8217;s extradited back to Utah.|<br />
He was initially charged with three counts of third-degree felony unlawful sexual activity with a minor, before being slapped with the aggravated murder charge.<br />
Bagshaw had been returning from school, and was chatting to her mother on the phone when she was &#8216;brutally attacked&#8217; and killed, police said.<br />
Her mother heard part of the assault before the line went silent. She alerted a neighbor, who went round to check on Bagshaw before alerting police. The neighbor found the teen&#8217;s body just after 3pm.</p>

</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Bagshaw always phoned her mother when she got home from West High school, according to <a class="class" href="https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900018038/search-continues-for-person-of-interest-in-violent-killing-of-teen-girl-in-salt-lake-city.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Deseret News</a>.<br />
Bagshaw was meant to be working at Leatherby&#8217;s Family Creamery, an ice-cream shop, but her mother phoned to say she could not come in due to a &#8216;family emergency&#8217;.<br />
Co-worker Gwendolyn Robinson described the teenager as &#8216;very sweet&#8217;, adding: &#8216;She worked very hard. She was a good girl.<br />
&#8216;I expect her to be walking into work still. It&#8217;s not computing.&#8217;<br />
Police said that certain &#8216;evidence&#8217; was &#8216;widely spread throughout the home and throughout the area&#8217;.<br />
French used to live in the same house as Bagshaw but was not living there at the time of her death.<br />
He&#8217;d moved in with the family in February 2017, when Bagshaw was 14 years old and he was 23 years old.<br />
A relative of Bagshaw told police they saw French having sexual relations with the girl on three occasions.<br />
French was charged on May 8 with statutory rape. On Friday four more crimes were added to the list: first-degree felony counts of aggravated murder and aggravated burglary, and second-degree felony counts of obstruction of justice and sexual exploitation.</p>
