Solving the Kay's Cross Mystery: The Evidence Arrayed

As we work methodically to solve the mysteries of Kay's Cross, I will link to articles detailing the answers to each question--and the evidence behind it--on this page.

For now, we have only the questions--and no evidence! But, we have to start somewhere . . .


  • Who definitely did not build Kay's Cross? Who can we cross off the suspects list? Was it built by polygamists? Or satan worshippers? A religious cult? Early pioneers? Native Americans? Early trappers? Or someone else?
  • Who remains on the suspects list--who had access, opportunity, and motive at the right time?
  • Who did built it and what is the evidence they did so?
  • When did they build it?
  • Why was it built?
  • Why a cross? Mormons don't build crosses--they don't even like them. Fundamentalist Mormon polygamists--if they were involved in building it--shun the cross as a symbol even moreso then mainstream LDS.
  • And why a cross with that particular, unusual flared shape--which doesn't seem to occur anywhere else in Utah? (Or does it?)

  • Why a "K"? Was Kaysville founder William Kay involved?
  • Why the Ts and hollow squares in the ends of the arms?
  • Was someone buried nearby? Or inside the cross? 
  • Was a murder involved? Or a tragic death?
  • Why was the cross abandoned and unused for so many years?
  • Why was the cross blown up in 1992, and who did it?
