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.
