Longtime attorney and KSL legal expert Greg Skordas provides insight on the latest of the legal lawsuit involving Jake Retzlaff.

In 1995, 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis disappeared in broad daylight from her high school in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her belongings were abandoned in her locker, and she never made it to her afternoon classes. No one has seen her since. Thirty years later, the mystery of what happened to Kiplyn has endured in a community that refuses to forget her. However, as the years have passed, the ties that have bound family and friends together have begun to come undone, and secrets have started to emerge, which begs the question: how long can someone stay quiet when what they've done starts to come into the light? Anyone who has any information that can lead to the discovery of Kiplyn's remains is asked to call the Spanish Fork police department at  (801) 798-5070 or (801) 804-4700. Alternatively, you can call the FBI field office at 801-374-5332.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for Tragedy With A View:What is life without close calls with disaster?Hosted by Kayla, Tragedy with a View is an outdoor lover's podcast for those who love true tales of tragic loss and unbelievable survival involving the wilderness, wildlife and weather.
