The primary suspect in the Kimberly Hyde murder investigation has been identified but has left the country and is currently not on the continent. A joint news release was issued on Tuesday by Uintah Basin law enforcement sharing that not only has the primary suspect fled the country, but a second suspect is in custody. The press release states the following: On October 7, 2024, the Roosevelt City Police Department received a report of Kimberly Hyde as a missing person. The following day, a vehicle registered to her was discovered in the Vernal area. Inside the vehicle, investigators found the deceased body of an adult female, later identified as Kimberly Hyde. An investigative team comprised of the Roosevelt, Vernal, and Naples City Police Departments, the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office, and the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office have identified two primary suspects in this case, Henry Resuera and a juvenile suspect . The juvenile is currently in custody, however we will not be releasing additional information on this suspect because they are a minor. Prior to Mr. Resuera being identified as a suspect, he traveled to another country. Currently, he is not on the continent, and 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. This incident has profoundly impacted our close-knit communities, and we recognize the sorrow and concern it has caused. We want to assure the public that a thorough and diligent investigation is ongoing. We extend our deepest condolences to the Hyde family. We also would like to express our gratitude to the dedicated investigative teams from the Roosevelt, Vernal, and Naples City Police Departments, the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office, the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI. Their tireless efforts are crucial in ensuring justice is served and in safeguarding our communities. To protect the integrity of the case and its prosecution, we will not be releasing additional information at this time.
