Chesapeake police believe the missionaries witnessed a crime shortly before they were shot.

Boughton also recently appeared in court during a preliminary hearing on a cocaine possession charge from May, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

Brennan Young, brother of Morgan Young and the only family member to speak at the service, said his brother didn't always prepare for a mission. He delayed going while watching movies, working out and planning for a career.

"When Morgan became converted," Brennan Young said, "he walked taller. . . . He started to spiritually run."

"I could tell when he became converted," reflected his local bishop, Larry Kocherhans. "He wanted to proclaim the gospel to everyone."

Brennan Young described Morgan as someone who loved movies, had Batman slippers and would sometimes answer the phone, "Batcave."

Morgan had a pet turtle named Killer and grew his hair out long just so girls would play with it. He loved techno music and always had a top-of-the-line computer.

"I'm so proud to have had such an amazing brother," Brennan Young said.

Morgan Young was buried at the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
