FBI and Utah Police Cancel Press Conference due to Developments in the Case

A news conference with the F.B.I. and Utah police officials was just canceled, about 20 minutes after it had been scheduled, because of “rapid developments” in the investigation, according to Hillary Koellner, a spokeswoman for the Utah Department of Public Safety. She said the news conference would be held later today.

I'm going to guess we either have a name or a person in custody.

When they do find a suitable suspect, he'll be shot "trying to escape." Case closed!!11!1!!11 PSPS Sep 11 #5

It is unclear why officials delayed a news conference that was scheduled to begin right about now, but a spokesman for the Utah Department of Public Safety just told me that no one is currently in custody.
