The Salt Lake Tribune: Women admit to UVU newspaper theft

The case of the missing college newspapers is closed, mere hours before a formal investigation was set to begin.

The culprits? Two women who said they needed the papers for a youth-group project.

Brent Sumner, adviser to the weekly UVU Review at Utah Valley University, said the women came to his office Monday morning and confessed taking up to 700 copies of the March 23 edition off racks around campus late Wednesday night. He said the women, who were not UVU students, wanted the paper for a project and not to protest the paper’s content.
