Stranger on the Playground: Who Killed Rosie Tapia

In the early morning of August 13th, 1995, a nightmare became reality for the Tapia family in Salt Lake City. While they slept just feet away, someone removed a window screen and abducted 6 year old Rosie from her bedroom. Hours later, she was found in a nearby canal. Today, 30 years have passed with no arrests but a $100,000 reward, and new leads are keeping the investigation alive. We dive into the case that changed a community forever and examined the latest search for the “Good Samaritan”, who could very well be a predator in disguise.Sources:Rosie Tapia’s Parents Want to Find Her Killer 30 Years Later | A&ERemembering Rosie: A Utah family searches for hope and justice in the 23-year-old unsolved murder of Rosie Tapia – Deseret Newshttps://police.slc.gov/1995/08/13/rosa-tapia/Rose Tapia's cold case murder in Utah could be solved with Barbie doll - ABC13 Houstonhttps://www.abc4.com/utah-cold-cases/mother-rosie-tapia-closure-new-lead/More than 22 years after murder of 6-year-old Rosie Tapia, family asks public for helphttps://www.abc4.com/news/23-years-later-rosie-tapia-murder-remains-unsolved/https://apnews.com/372b66c35037317e8ffbd128f06bab25https://www.abc4.com/news/the-justice-files-new-details-in-rosie-tapia-murder-investigation/Music:Crime Trap by Muza ProductionDark Horror Background by Delo SoundDon’t Look Down the Basement by Joel FazhariSad Instrumental Music by AndrigDark Ambient Sounds by Lemon Music LabDark Trap Groove by Anton Vlasovhttp://bit.ly/goneinablink-survey Thank you for helping us by taking our short survey.
