Single EM Copy 25c L" Eleven Two Male Teenagers Face Murder Charges MIDVALE. Two Salt Lake County teenage males, ages 15 and 16, were arrested early last week and charged with first degree murder, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary in connection with the Oct. 31 shooting death of Spencer Nielson. Midvale Detective Sgt. Tim Start noted that, because of desires to protect the case and the fact that both suspects are juveniles, he has been asked by the County Attorney's Office to be very guarded in his statements. When asked to confirm reports that the two youths will not be certified to stand trial as adults, Start would only state, "That's what I read in the papers." He also declined, at the present time, to link the death of Nielson to break-in- s at several units in the self storage facility the victim managed. The locks of five of the units had been cut off and several thousand dollars worth of rabbit pelts were reportedly taken from one of them. Nielson was found shot death in his Self Storage, 141 So. Allen St., on the morning of Nov. 1. The time of death was put at around midnight. Start said that he could not comment on what led officers to the two juvenile suspects, but he did confirm that a search for the murder weopon, described as a "long gun" is continuing. "This was a difficult case," stated Start. "I mean, nobody came in to our office and confessed to it. The seriousness of the crime dictated that we keep working at it until we got a break." The two youths are scheduled to be arraigned within the next week or so. Start did not rule out the possibility that other individuals may be questioned in connection with the case. apartment at Midvale Fox Grossing Rises FromDust Green Sheet Staff Writer WEST JORDAN. Last fall it ed as if Fox Crossing developer Ron Hatfield held the losing hand in a gamble over who would control his vast holdings in West Jordan. In the summer of 1986 Hatfield's dream of developing a commercial business center complete with high-ris- e office buildings on 9000 South in West Jordan had turned into a nightmare when his Arizona partner Gordan Hall called in the chips after months of negative publicity about Hall and his dealings and West Jordan City's support of the Fox Crossing concept. Hatfield admits that he fell for the glitter associated with developer Gordan Hall. An association that eventually cost him $7 million worth of his own holdings. Even as the vast plans for the Fox Crossing Complex faded away, Hatfield was busy picking up the pieces in an effort to move on. look- opening the doors to several small retail shops in what Hatfield considers phase one of the Fox Crossing development. Developer John Price relieved Hatfield of several acres on the corner of 9000 South and Redwood Road where he recently completed construction on a new Albertson's Food Store and several retail shops. A Shopko Store and Granite Furniture will come on line within the year. Price's Riverpoint Plaza is complimented by Hatfield's Fox Crossing Community Center. Hatfield controls at least 18,000 square feet of retail space in his strip mall, which has been laced adjacent to the Anderson Lumber outlet on 9000 South and 1400 West.
