State officials have closed off 56 mines in Utah’s historic Tintic Mining District, including the shaft near Eureka where the bodies of murdered teens Brelynne “Breezy” Otteson and Riley Powell were recovered in 2018.
Powell’s father Bill has saidThe state was planning to seal the mine where Otteson and Powell were found prior to their deaths, according to Steve Fluke, manager of the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining’s abandoned mine reclamation program. But the process took years partly because that mine, Tintic Standard No. 2, and others were on private property, albeit “easily accessible” and near popular off-highway vehicle trails, Fluke said in a statement.
Crews found Otteson, 17, and Powell, 18, on March 28, 2018, on a ledge about 100 feet down the Tintic Standard No. 2 mine. A jury in 2022 found Jerrod Baumfiled against him in connection with the teens’ 2017 slayings. Prosecutors at the time said Baum killed the couple after learning his then-girlfriend, whom he had forbidden from having male friends, had been hanging out with Otteson and Powell.
Amanda Davis, Otteson’s aunt, said the teens’ families are thankful the mine is finally covered. The family erected a memorial near the mine, and during visits over the last six years, “[Crews] provided the utmost respect during the process of covering the mine,” the families said in a post on the The now-sealed Tintic Standard No. 2 shaft, near Eureka, Utah.
