Police in Roosevelt have identified two "primary suspects" in the killing of Kimberly Hyde. Her husband says they were his next-door neighbor and the neighbor's son.
While the son has been taken into custody, police say Henry Resuera fled the country.

ROOSEVELT — On Tuesday, police said they identified two "primary suspects" in the killing of a missing Roosevelt woman. The woman's husband said the two were next-door neighbors.

Kimberly Hyde, 60, disappeared on Oct. 7, and investigators said her body was discovered the next day in the Vernal area inside a car registered under her name.

A week later, detectives announced they had identified two suspects in the homicide — Henry Resuera and a second person they would only describe as a "juvenile suspect." Hyde's husband said the second person is Resuera's son.

A police statement said officers took the "juvenile" into custody while Resuera is believed to be out of the country and off the continent.

"Our investigators are actively collaborating with the FBI and other international agencies to facilitate his return to face charges, which include aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, and aggravated robbery — all first-degree felonies," the statement read. But Utah court records do not show any criminal charges being filed against a Henry Resuera.

Hyde's husband, Michael Hyde, said Resuera was his next-door neighbor and that he and his wife had taken Resuera and his family to dinner and to church.

"We had a good friendship, I thought, and it was really a shock," Hyde told KSL-TV. "I was disappointed to hear that one of his sons is also involved and in custody."

Michael Hyde on Tuesday night went through pictures and remembered his 18 years of marriage.

"(It's) hard now, being here all alone now, to walk by and see these," Hyde said. "It's goodbye for now, but not forever and that helps keep me going."

Hyde said he hopes Resuera will face justice in his wife's killing.

"It's all been taken away," he said. "It's a sad thing."
