SALT LAKE CITY South Ogden police Sgt. Terry Carpenter served Douglas Lovell with a court summons for criminal charges on May 14, 1992. Lovell, who was at that time incarcerated for sexually assaulting Joyce Yost in April of 1985, was at last being accused of murdering Yost to prevent her from testifying against him.
An audio recording of the encounter, which was made without Lovell s knowledge, is featured in the eighth episode of the KSL investigative podcast series Cold s second season. The recording has not previously been publicly released. So you re saying they ve found Joyce Yost, Lovell asked Carpenter in the recording.
Police had not, in fact, located Yost s body but they had developed enough evidence that the Weber County Attorney s Office had taken the rare step of filing a charge of capital murder against Lovell in a no-body case.
