ENOCH — Recordings of phone calls to Cedar City police dispatchers reveal Tausha Haight had expressed safety concerns to her therapist days before her husband killed her and their entire family.

On Jan. 4, Haight was supposed to meet with her therapist, whose name was redacted by police. When she did not attend the appointment, her therapist got worried and called dispatch, asking for a welfare check on Haight.

“She doesn’t ever miss appointments,” the therapist said, calling less than an hour after the missed meeting. The therapist said she tried contacting Haight but had not heard back from her and was concerned.

In the phone call obtained through public records requests, the therapist explained that Haight was going through a divorce and that she and her kids had been out of town visiting her parents. They were supposed to return to the Haight home the night before to finish some paperwork that would force her husband out of the house as he was refusing to leave, the therapist said.
