In 1982, 17 year old Robby Peay was ordered to be housed at the Youth Diagnostic Center in Salt Lake City. When he and another boy ran away from the facility, his family expected to hear from him shortly after. As the years went on, no word from Robby came and his disappearance has been a mystery ever since.   https://www.newspapers.com/image/470121919/?terms=robby%2Bpeay  https://www.newspapers.com/image/466880015/?terms=robby%2Bpeay

For our farewell episode, we discuss why we decided to end Zion's Lost after 3 years and over 150 episodes. We share some memorable experiences we have had and episodes that still keep us up at night. We also talk about a few cases we wish we could have covered, but couldn't due to privacy reasons. We appreciate your loyalty and support of our podcast. We are very thankful to have had such kind listeners who care about the cases and victims as much as we do. We hope that we have succeeded in bringing awareness to cold cases, missing persons, and victims of violent crime.  - Julia & Janet

Farewell

In 1989, a successful mother and social worker, Annette Hill, left her home at about 8pm, never to return. A robbery and murder gone wrong led to police to some of her belongings, but the suspect was never charged with any crime relating to her disappearance. However, that would all change in 2011 when another cold case from 1989 was reopened, and evidence was retested.   https://www.newspapers.com/image/613314616/?terms=Annette%20Hill&match;=1 https://charleyproject.org/case/annette-a-hill  https://www.newspapers.com/image/613419829/?terms=%22victor%20aguilar%22&match;=1  https://www.newspapers.com/image/467097805/?terms=%22victor%20aguilar%22&match;=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/613321208/?terms=%22felicia%20pappas%22&match;=1

It’s what fun is! Utah’s family-owned amusement park, Lagoon, has an interesting history dating back to 1886. Lagoon has hosted famous bands, has original wood-carved animals on the carousel, and the infamous ‘White Roller Coaster’ just celebrated its 100th birthday. But with all the rides, games, and cotton candy, comes a few deaths and injuries.   https://www.newspapers.com/image/12467291/?terms=Lagoon&match;=1  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagoon_(amusement_park)  https://mysteryofutahhistory.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-dark-side-of-lagoon-amusement-park.html https://www.newspapers.com/image/613315050/?terms=Ryan%20Beckstead&match;=1

This week we are discussing two missing persons. Both disappeared in 2020 in the same general area of North Ogden. Etzil Cortez Trujillo was last seen by their broken down vehicle on the North Ogden Divide. Shelby Campbell left for a hike during a heavy windstorm and no trace of her or her belongings have been found. Her vehicle was located in the trailhead parking lot.   https://www.qsaltlake.com/news/2020/04/27/young-nonbinary-person-missing-since-thursday/  https://dailyutahchronicle.com/2020/05/09/family-of-missing-person-etzli-cortes-trujillo-calls-for-action-from-slc-police-department/  https://www.abc4.com/news/local-news/salt-lake-city-pd-searching-for-missing-22-year-old-resident/  https://www.abc4.com/news/local-news/salt-lake-city-pd-searching-for-missing-22-year-old-resident/ Facebook page for Ez: https://www.facebook.com/FindEzNow Facebook group to join for Shelby: https://www.facebook.com/groups/35314140916176T

This week, we are continuing with commemorating Pride Month by discussing a murder and an assault. Both crimes were solved, but the murder was not solved until 30 years later, and the assault was on a friendly bicyclist well known to those in the Logan area.  https://www.deseret.com/2012/7/12/20504383/thirty-years-later-murder-case-closed-but-little-closure-for-family#dennis-piernick-39-was-killed-may-16-1982-the-salt-lake-city-police-department-closed-the-investigation-into-his-death-july-12-2012-after-determining-the-person-who-should-be-arrested-in-the-case-was-already-dead  https://www.qsaltlake.com/news/2012/10/01/a-history-of-hate-crimes-in-utah/ https://usustatesman.com/bicycle-brent/
