The Jeppson family had attended church on the morning of October 11, 1964. After they’d returned home, Jeppson went to feed and walk his two German Shorthaired Pointers, one an adult and the other a puppy, telling his sister that he would return within a half hour for dinner. The dogs were kept about 200 yards from the Jeppson residence. A friend of Jeppson's saw him walking the dogs near the College of Saint Mary-of-the-Wasatch at around 1 PM. He was wearing a white knit cotton shirt, a reversible parka with a black side and the other blue, blue Levi's jeans and gym shoes.
