Finding Amy

Amy Westreicher moved from California to remote eastern Utah to help out a friend. She fell in with a group of people who had some troubles with the law. In 2010, Amy went missing one night from a camper parked in the desolute countryside near Roosevelt, Utah. The "friends" in the camper scattered, the police investigation went nowhere. The case went cold, as cold as it was that wintery night in the middle of nowhere when Amy disappeared. And if it hadn't been for the persistence of a friend dealing with her own personal tragedy this case might have remained that way. This is that story.

New Developments in Aletha Jo Williams Cold Case

Aletha Jo Williams had some minor run-ins with the law. Then she became pregnant and in 2001 and 2002 seemed to be turning her life around when her Utah family reported her missing. Police did some investigation but had little to go on and her disappearance became a cold case. Acting on new information in 2014, police obtained a search warrant and sent drivers into waterways looking for her body. They didn't find Aletha and no arrests were made for what appears to be her murder. Now, just this week (July 6), a dramatic new development occurred. We rushed out this podcast to tell the story.
