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.
