The Evidence That Could Reshape a Decades-Old Murder Case

More than 40 years after the murder of Eva Oleson, the case against Douglas Carter is back in court. After the Utah Supreme Court overturned Carter's conviction last year, Utah County prosecutors are now seeking a new trial. This month, a judge will hear arguments over newly discovered DNA evidence, whether Carter's confession should be suppressed, whether he should be granted bail, and whether investigators can collect a fresh DNA sample for comparison. On this episode of KSL News Daily, host Maria Shilaos takes an in-depth look at the twists and turns in one of Utah's longest-running criminal cases with Senior KSL Podcast Producer Amy Donaldson. We'll examine the new evidence, the allegations of police misconduct, and what comes next as the case heads back to court. Plus, we're celebrating a true American icon. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile turns 90, and we'll talk with a pair of "Hotdoggers" about what it's like to pilot the famous vehicle across the country. First, the Three Things You Need to Know: wildfire smoke settling over the Wasatch Front, Utah's record-setting fire season, and a vintage car show rolling into Millcreek for National Night Out.
