(145) Rosie Tapia

On today's episode... A brutal Utah cold case from 1995. Something about this one really struck me, so I decided to look into it and put an episode together. Rosie's family has been waiting almost exactly 31 years for answers. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CASE, PLEASE CONTACT THE UTAH COLD CASE COALITION TIP LINE AT 385-258-3313.
