Anne Elliott was a 31 year old mom with so much love for her family and her kids, but she disappeared on the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah. She last had contact with her family in January 2020, and was last seen in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Metro Jail. She has never been seen or heard from again. She has been homeless and moved around a lot but always kept in contact with family. No one has heard from her since she was last seen.  Her family is searching for answers on where Anne is or what happened to her. 

I was able to interview Anne’s sister, Emily, via Zoom and learn more about who Anne is as a person. Emily wants listeners to know that her sister didn’t just become a drug addict in one day, it was a slow process and it destroyed her sister’s life. Emily sheds light on the experience of having a missing loved one and offers advice to others who have a loved one that battles with drug addiction. We also discuss theories on what is happening to the homeless population in Salt Lake City, which includes a possible serial killer. 

* this was a long distance interview via zoom, so expect decreased audio quality, thanks for understanding *

If you have information about Anne, please call the Salt Lake City Police Department at (801) 799-3454 or Private Investigator Jason Jensen at (801) 759-2248. You may also call the WE HELP THE MISSING TIP LINE at (866) 660-4025. Your tips may remain anonymous.

Ann Woodward and Leslie "Woody" Woodward were the husband and wife team who owned and operated Woody's Tavern in Moab, Utah. On March 2, 1973, Ann failed to come home after closing the bar by herself. Early the next morning, Woody found Ann dead between two pool tables, having been strangled with her own pants. Despite a few leads and reopening her case in 2006, Ann's killer has never been caught. It was announced in November 2022 that investigators were pursuing "touch DNA" technology to hopefully learn who murdered Ann those fifty-one years ago.  

Woodward's case is currently being investigated by the Moab City Police Department and the Utah State Bureau of Investigation. Anyone with information about the murder can contact the cold case tip hotline at 833-DPS-SAFE (833-377-7233).
