Utah woman who delayed telling police her boyfriend killed two missing teens and threw their bodies into mine shaft is charged with obstructing justice

A woman — who twice denied knowing anything about the disappearance of two missing Juab teens, but then led police to an abandoned mine shaft that contained their bodies last week — is facing two counts of obstructing justice.

Morgan Reannon Henderson, 34, was charged Thursday in 4th District Court with the two second-degree felonies, one for each of the teens. Her boyfriend, 41-year-old Jerrod Baum, is charged with their murder.

On the night of Dec. 29, Henderson had communicated with 18-year-old Riley Powell via Facebook Messenger, court documents say, and he agreed to meet at her Juab County home at midnight to smoke marijuana.
