Two very exciting happenings with Saturday Morning Serial today:
1) By popular demand, we are officially turning SMS into a weekly installment! You can look forward to a fresh true crime story every Saturday morning.
2) We are trying something new. Normally Jackson researches and tells the story for SMS, but we have recruited our friend Jason Jensen from Jensen Investigations and the Utah Cold Case Coalition to join in the fun.
On this week’s episode of SMS, Jason will talk about the abduction, sexual assault, and murder of 6-year-old Rosie Tapia.
Although Rosie was murdered nearly 25 years ago, as of this recording, her killer has not been brought to justice. However, Utah Cold Case Coalition is pretty confident that they know who did it.
Listen to the episode and find extras below:
