• Man reported mother missing, then police found blood 'in the grooves' of her bedroom: Docs (lawandcrime.com) — Springville residents are watching closely as police investigate the suspected killings of Sarah Johnson and her friend, last seen at Johnson’s Springville home where neighbors reported hearing gunshots. Her son, Matthew Leonard, was arrested and is being held without bail on suspicion of aggravated murder while investigators process blood evidence and other findings from the home. Formal charges are pending as the Utah County Attorney’s Office gathers more evidence. 
• Sondrup Signs With the Boilermakers (purduesports.com) — A standout Springville High basketball player, Jamyn Sondrup, has committed to play for Purdue after completing a two-year mission, highlighting a major achievement for a local athlete. The 6-foot-9 forward from Springville averaged nearly 18 points and 12 rebounds last season and finished his high school career with more than 1,600 points and 900 rebounds. His signing helps elevate Purdue’s recruiting class to a top-10 national ranking.
