KIMBERLY HYDE: Utah woman murdered in October 2024 - Man charged claims setup

This is fairly long, about an hour. I saw it come up yesterday but wasn't compelled to watch it. Now today, it started for me somehow by me not starting it. So I stopped it but was on the page and started to skim the chat, just to see if worth a watch, etc. The chat is FULL of people saying police have the wrong guy and that her husband framed this guy. That the police department is corrupt and inept, etc. TONS of people saying such. Well, now I have to watch it to see what I think of him. This guy fled the country but saw an interview with Nate by two people who knew Kimberly, I think relatives, and wanted to give his side to Nate...

Not sure what I think yet, I haven't watched it, just starting to. Seems to be another LDS case... I do think I watched the family members on with Nate but it was a time ago. @Kimster Have you watched this? I know you watch most of Nate's too so just asking...?

People change codes though so maybe Henry didn't have an up to date code and/or hub wanted to frame him which is why he got him to do the jobs. I wonder who took them shopping or whether Kim or the neighbour drove?

I'm wondering too why the women needed a ride and why he was told to take Kim's car. Clearly they weren't using Kim's car then... Or why he didn't question it? How did they GET shopping or on their day out together?

Have you got a link for that? I thought he was retired.

I'd rather you think he was retired than go look for a link, lol.

The Police Chief has responded to these claims made by Henry. It is short, around 4 minutes. Naturally he says they can't share evidence but did state that Henry made some claims that are directly contradicted as evidence. They stand by he did this and is the only suspect at this time and stands by the charges.

I can believe this because he seemed to me to be fitting his story to what he "knows" of the evidence imo and he doesn't know it all most likely. He therefore can't explain those things OR claimed something clearly not true.

He also said the husband took a polygraph and passed. However, this was from a third party polygrapher and I have to say I don't like that rather than LE giving him one...

I don't know about the hub but I think most know I wasn't sold by Henry. I thought the garage blood story a bit of a far stretch for one.

There are things that don't thrill me about the hub but he very well could just be a not great husband and one who did remarry in a year or some such and unfortunately his neighbor did this and so some are going to think he did.

He also may very well get unknown calls a lot and most cell phones show a number, there aren't any payphones hardly at all any longer and that evidence just doesn't convince me at all. I don't think we even know the exact timeline do we? I think the short gym visit odd and probably done to "try" to create an alibi.

The thing is he would have had to have got her into her own car right? The husband must not have been at home of course...

I think it is possible his son could have helped put the body into the car but not necessarily.

Kimberly's extended family members or in laws said that the husband told them he was going to have Henry start the car like weekly or something and that he'd given him the code. They did think it odd they not just have them do it but I don't find that entirely odd and it would explain also that Henry already had the code, had the car keys or knew where they were and so on.

I can't totally rule out the hub but LE says there is no reason to suspect him. Not at this time. I of course am paraphrasing in here.

I learned not too far in following crime years ago that usually when the perp has to explain way too many things or evidence away, they are usually guilty. There just are not that many coincidental things and so many have to be explained in ONE event/case. Too many here. It would also mean Henry is beyond gullible to be framed and that the hub is extremely smart and planned this all perfectly. Seems unlikely to me.

In on it together or Henry did it himself imo. IF in on it together though Henry just basically flipped on the hub in his interview claiming he framed him... No interest or reason to arrest the hub though it would seem per the Chief.

Ok so passing a polygraph is a surprise but if it was Henry, what was the motive and why was she dead in her own car and he did not apparently know. Also how did her blood get in Henry's garage, if that turns out to be her blood ?

A lot of anomalies. She goes shopping with a friend, comes home or gets picked up and ends up dead in her own car and inside her own coded locked garage.

 

[GrandmaBear]

According to the daughter-in-law (this is from a video with Nate months prior to Henry's video with Nate) it was the night before the murder that Mike informed that he'd given the code to the neighbor.

Okay so it was months before that the relatives said that but it was not long before as to giving the code to Henry and her being informed?

Man we should try to do a timeline and facts and things we can bring forward when we need to.

I will say the relatives did not know a ton that didn't come from news, and they tried to figure out themselves looking at it, going back. Meaning LE certainly wasn't sharing all with them either imo. One could just tell at times they don't know a lot more than anyone, or didn't throughout.

 

[Tresir]

I'd rather you think he was retired than go look for a link, lol.

I just remember something about his retirement but cannot remember what LOL. I just wondered where that exact time came from that was all.

ETA1 I found where a retirement gift was mentoned in Henry's statement that he went and got the gift to leave in the house.

Has this EIN article been posted? It has the details of his conversation with Nate.

Interesting, so he could have given Henry the code for the reason Henry stated.

I don't like it when POIs take polygraphs with polygraphers they decide on themselves with their attorneys and they also decide on the questions they will answer too. However, this did say "third party" polygrapher which would mean I assume one that was neither theirs, nor LEs, that they mutually agreed on...? IF that's correct of course.

It's certainly an interesting one, things can be said in both directions or questioned. At least for us, LE might very well know better.

Henry's motive? I don't know but possibilities? Well his wife and son claimed he was physically abusive. He may have just had a temper and/or Kim and him had some issues or got into it over something.

The husband put him up to it and offered to pay him. He seems to make a point in his video of not being poor BUT did sound like his wife was the one working, not him, etc. Think he wanted to point out he didn't need money or some such...

Kim was with his wife and maybe befriended her. Maybe he didn't like that and didn't like them being gone together. Maybe wife was sharing things with her.

There could be all sorts of reasons. Maybe wife knew something about him.

No clear motive, I agree but he fled and left his wife and son behind next door to someone he thought to be a killer??

 

[Tresir]

Did he? I guess one could walk 12 blocks, a mile, or one block. Is the walk time included in that 20 minutes? If so, that is even shorter gym time.

He said in Nate's interview that he went to the gym for twenty minutes then walked back.

Thanks for that. I've copied the timeline below.

Henry Cito Piano Resuera Jr. is charged with the murder of Hyde, who was reported missing on Oct. 7 and found dead in her car the following day. The affidavit states that Resuera flew to the Philippines after the killing while his son and wife told investigators what happened.
Police previously reported two primary suspects in the case: Resuera and a juvenile who has not been named because of his age. Hyde lived next door to Resuera and were family friends.
“Henry has been in the Hyde residence on many occasions,” documents state.
Hyde was reported missing by her husband on Oct.7, while Roosevelt and Vernal police posted about her disappearance on social media platforms. Her car was found the following day at 750 S. 500 East in Vernal, approximately 38 miles from her home.

Missing woman found dead inside her car in Vernal area​

Chris Bertram, a retired deputy chief of police, told KSL TV just how much of a digital footprint is left behind in a case like this.
“We leave a digital footprint of ourselves everywhere we go,” Bertram said. “You can literally recreate where those people were at certain times.”
Bertram told KSL TV that it appeared investigators used cell phone data and numerous cameras to track the movements of next door neighbor, and suspect, Henry Resuera, along with Hyde’s car.
In a timeline of events around the killing, police said Hyde returned home with a friend on Oct. 7 at approximately 2:30 p.m., 23 minutes after Resuera was seen on camera leaving his house and heading toward Hyde’s residence. Burglary charges suggest Resuera may have been in Hyde’s home when she returned.
At 2:47 p.m. Hyde’s friend is on camera leaving her home. A text message from Hyde’s phone to the friend at 3:10 p.m. stated, “I have to go to Vernal again.” At 3:50 p.m. school bus camera footage shows Hyde’s car is not where it was eventually found in Vernal. At 4:30 p.m. her car was recorded heading toward Vernal.

Police said they have footage from multiple sources of Hyde’s car heading to Vernal, including at 5:14 p.m., as the car is driven by a person “who appears small in stature and appears to be wearing a hat.”
“The contents of the car’s back seat are seen and are consistent with what was located by investigators when the victim was located in the car,” documents state.
The car was still being driven in the Vernal area while her husband was arriving home in Roosevelt by bus.
The documents detail how, in camera footage, investigators could see what they believed was a body in the car, concealed by items placed on top of it, just as it was seen through car windows when it was located on Oct. 8. After securing a warrant, investigators found Hyde’s body and a detective attended the autopsy to aid in the investigation.
“The car was dumped and put into a plain place, her body was not really concealed,” Bertram said. “It was going to be found.”
The medical examiner, the documents state, found blunt force trauma to Hyde’s head and face, eight superficial stab wounds, and fatal neck wounds.
A witness informed police that Resuera’s son had spoken about driving to the airport for an emergency flight. License plate readers identified a family vehicle on the route. Police contacted Resuera’s wife and son and obtained a search warrant, locating what appeared to be drops of blood in the driveway.
Investigators said in interviews, the family members said Resuera told them he killed Hyde and provided details about her death that had not been made publicly available, including her injuries and how she was bound. They said they were fearful of Resuera because of unreported domestic violence.
The son said he was told to meet his father in Vernal but, at the time, didn’t know why. He said he picked up Resuera where Hyde’s car was dropped off.
After media attention about the discovery of Hyde’s car, Resuera reportedly confessed to his wife and son and told them details about the killing that weren’t publicly available. The suspect then purchased a ticket and boarded a plane to the Philippines.
A warrant for Resuera was issued on suspicion of aggravated homicide, kidnapping, robbery, and burglary, all first-degree felonies. Police said they are working with the FBI and international agencies to facilitate Resuera’s return to face charges.
Hyde’s obituary states she was a Duchesne High School and Utah State University graduate. At USU, she earned a bachelor’s in social work and was given the award of outstanding student for the year. She was a social worker for Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services, the Uintah Basin Senior Villa, and Rocky Mountain Hospice. Before college, she served lunches at a local elementary. It states she was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I just find it to be a highly questionable coincidence that it's the night before the murder, Kim's relatives are offered an explanation as to how and why Henry had access.
Other than that, I do note that Kim's daughter-in-law said that Mike was "always weird", which I take to be another way of saying that they were never fond of him and I'd expect that the feeling may have been mutual, which I think could explain some of his subsequent behaviors such as excluding them from this or that.

I kind of wondered if he wasn't in the home when she got home. Sounds like perhaps both his wife and Kim were in the home and he may have been hiding or something...? It just makes sense... His wife left and probably he knew he wasn't going to get out of there without Kimberly seeing him and he attacked her maybe. I suspect he sent the message on her phone about going back to Vernal... He also talked as if couldn't see Kim but cops say she was plainly visible in the car.

Kim's husband came home by bus which seems to indicate they only have one vehicle or one was in the shop or something. He has a clear alibi then. With the wife and son of Henry saying he confessed to them, I think it pretty clear Henry did it. The hub still could have been involved but did Henry say that to his wife and son? I kind of doubt it somehow.

I think even more than I already did that Henry is lying. This completes a few holes that I wasn't sure on.

He allegedly confessed to the wife and son.

I think it likely Henry was given the code and he instantly realized the access he had when he could be sure they weren't at home. And none were at home most likely when he entered and he knew that.

Yeah, I didn't feel the families were overly close, the DIL, etc. and Mike and Kim. I think she had just seen her recently but didn't sound like overall she saw them a lot or something on that order...

I'm even more sure now that Henry is guilty. Mike remains a question but I think he may be just odd and not the most likable, not sure.

It still could work that both men were involved in this. I am fairly certain about Henry though as I have been or was fairly quickly and I just get more sure about it constantly.

 

[Tresir]

The main thing i question is he has no motive. Also who was the person who he was supposedly letting in to the back garden that Mike asked him to do from someone called Jaz Utah? Could that have been the killer.

i think there are holes in the stories but LE should be able to trace Jaz Utah. It's their job.

 

[Tresir]

Also, if he confessed to his wife and son, why did LE let them leave the country too?

And what about this video that Henry mentions of him and hubby together on the day? Or did i misunderstand that? Will have to hunt for a transcript of Henry's interview with Nate.

It well could not even be true, the person into the back garden, the Jaz Utah thing. He, keep in mind, only came forward now a year later. He'd likely know about Mike's new marriage.

I wonder if he told his son and wife the motive/reason. He well could have been in there to steal or see what they had but the women came home. He kept claiming he didn't need money in the video, why? That he has things in the Phillipines and that he and his wife had enough to live on for three years here if necessary. Apparently didn't work, was he into something else to make money? Theft? Car theft? Drugs?

We often don't have a motive but it doesn't mean there wasn't one that we don't know of. I have to wonder if his marriage was on the ropes

I agree I'd like to know the motive and it isn't apparent to us what that was. The cops do seem to think he may have been in the home though when Kim came home. It said with a friend. Interesting how cops protect his wife's name too or seemingly did as I'd assume of course that friend was her.

 

[GrandmaBear]

He described her injuries and how she was bound to his wife and son. Here's the thing, hub was at work and probably verified and then on a bus. Henry's on camera going to house. Kim gets home. Husband is not there. No other stranger is either, Henry is.

So no matter how we look at this Henry killed her. The husband wasn't home to do so and Kim hadn't been until such a time either.

At FIRST I thought or wasn't sure Henry's wife and Kim were really out together. Now knowing they were, no one killed her earlier and could not have been her husband.

So I think it's pretty clear cut. The only question here really is if Mike put him up to it and was in on it. Not framed him as he claims but put him up to it. Offered him something. Hired him even.
