The Utah Cold Case Coalition investigates unsolved murders and disappearances in the state. Last week, volunteers were here in Moab looking into a 30-year-old case. Today on the news, a report on Utah's current slate of unsolved homicides. And, as the impacts of climate change worsen, many are turning their attention to the harmful greenhouse gas methane. Our radio partners profile a group of stakeholders working to capture a large amount of methane that's been leaking out of abandoned coal mines above the town of Redstone, Colorado. // Show Notes // Photo: Mining-infrastructure expert Eric Edwards measures methane emissions seeping out of a closed mine portal during a stakeholders hike to Coal Basin in Colorado.

Episode 30 covers some unanswered questions from a couple of previous episodes regarding Henry Lee Lucas. This episode also covers the solving of the 1980 murder of Kathleen O'Brien Doyle. Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole were pinned with the murder after a Norfolk, VA sergeant interviewed Lucas in June 1984. Norfolk PD also stated they had a forensic match from Lucas and Toole's hair and blood found at the scene. The case was re-opened after 40 years and after new DNA testing was completed the real killer was found. We also cover the re-opening of the 1978 murder case of Marla Scharp. Again Henry Lee Lucas confessed to this crime, but after outcry from the Utah Cold Case Coalition the case is being reopened.

Whoever left a vintage Barbie doll on the grave of a little girl raped and murdered in 1995 may have provided a key piece of evidence to solve the cold case: DNA. Utah investigators are asking for public help in identifying the person who placed the doll on the grave of Rosie Tapia, who was just six when she died. “Two possible persons of interest in the case have been identified who had some fixation with Barbies,” the Utah Cold Case Coalition said in a news release. “But before a costly analysis is performed on the DNA, the coalition is asking whether someone knows who placed the doll on Rosie’s grave.” She was abducted from the bedroom of her Salt Lake City home. Her remains were discovered “several hours later in a canal off the Jordan River.” Nancy Grace looks at the investigation with Cold Case Research Institute Director Sheryl McCollum, Atlanta criminal lawyer Darryl Cohen, psycho analyst Dr Bethany Marshall, and reporter John Lemley.
