The Utah father accused of killing his wife, their five children, and his mother-in-law before turning the gun on himself was investigated two years prior for child abuse, but local police and prosecutors decided not to criminally charge him, new records show.
Police records obtained by the Associated Press detail a police investigation into Michael Haight and the violent behavior he exhibited toward his family. Authorities said after the murder that they were aware of previous problems in the home, but they did not elaborate. Now, we know specifically what they meant.
Chad Dotson, the district attorney, told the outlet that his office did not charge Michael Haight in 2020 because"there was insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges." But Dotson also said no interviews or police reports from the investigation were ever sent to his office for"formal screening of charges."
