Austin Garceau will remain in the Summit County Jail without bail as he awaits trial for the stabbing death of Damon Enman on Deer Valley Drive, a judge ruled Thursday, July 30.

Garceau, 38, with a last known address in Salt Lake City, appeared shackled and in a green prison jumpsuit for his first formal court appearance in Third District Court at Silver Summit. Judge Richard Mrazik ordered him held without bail and scheduled a detention hearing for Wednesday, Aug. 19.

Mrazik also prohibited Garceau from contacting three people, including two witnesses whose initials appear in the charging document prosecutors filed July 29. The no-contact order does not apply to Garceau's attorneys.

An attorney representing Garceau declined to comment after the hearing. Garceau's family, also in attendance, declined to comment.

As we reported July 29, Summit County prosecutors charged Garceau with murder in the death of Enman, 34, of Salt Lake County. The killing is Park City's first homicide since 2017.

According to the Park Record's account of the hearing and the prosecutors' charging document, Enman called 911 at approximately 8:27 a.m. on Friday, July 24, from a residence at 505 Deer Valley Drive, telling the dispatcher that "Austin" had stabbed him. Male voices were repeatedly heard in the background yelling "Austin, stop!"

Officers found Enman conscious when they arrived. He told police Garceau said "I'm going to kill you" before stabbing him. Enman was airlifted to the University of Utah Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 10:30 a.m.

Preliminary findings by the medical examiner indicated Enman suffered more than 10 wounds, according to the charging document.

A witness identified only as K.L. told investigators that Garceau attacked Enman with a knife, calling him a reptilian. K.L. said he jumped on Garceau's back and repeatedly told him to drop the knife. Enman told K.L., "Stop him, he's going to kill me. I'm dying." A second witness, W.W., reported hearing the distinct sound of a knife being removed from the butcher block in the kitchen before fleeing the residence.

Enman's parents, Heather and Jim Thorstenson, told KPCW on July 29 that their son had recently graduated from a recovery program after years of struggling with addiction. "We've been just amazed and so proud of all the hard work he's put in," Heather Thorstenson said. "He's been clean and testing clean and just doing a really good job of getting his life on track."

Enman had been meeting friends at the Deer Valley Drive house, which one of them had rented as a short-term rental, on the morning of July 24.

An online fundraiser to cover funeral costs and support Enman's family surpassed its $10,000 goal by midweek.

The Aug. 19 detention hearing is the next scheduled court proceeding in the case.
