Newly filed court documents show the 24-year-old accused of killing a Utah teenager had repeatedly called her in the days before her death and went to meet with her the day she died concerning accusations that he raped her.
In charging documents filed Friday in 3rd District Court, Shaun French reportedly admitted to a friend that he killed Baleigh Bagshaw at her home on May 7, saying he “damn near cut her head off.”
French stopped at Bagshaw’s Salt Lake City home, near 1600 West and 500 North, to talk to her about the rape allegations, a friend who was with him at the time told police.
