About this Podcast:

Each unsolved murder holds a story—of shattered lives, mysteries that linger long after headlines fade. Why do cases go cold? Sometimes, it’s a lack of witnesses or evidence; other times, the crime scene surfaces months or years later, leaving investigators grasping for answers. But for families who have lost someone, the pain never grows old—and the need for resolution remains as urgent as ever. Utah’s Cold Cases invites you to join KSL reporter Andrew Adams as he digs into these files. With the latest updates on the investigations, Andrew brings forgotten cases back into the spotlight, in an effort to spark new leads and offer families a measure of hope.
