Joyce Yost was a 39 year old mother, living in Ogden, Utah in 1985. Joyce disappeared from her house on August 11, 1985, 10 days before she would testify against her alleged rapist. Police suspected one man, Douglas Lovell, yet were unable to arrest him at the time. This began one of Utah’s few no body homicide investigations and trials. Joyce’s case went unsolved for years before tape recordings exposed the (almost) truth behind her disappearance. Despite extensive efforts, Joyce's body remains undiscovered, leaving a haunting mystery unresolved.

If you have any information the disappearance and murder of Joyce Yost, call the South Ogden Police Department at 801-622-2800
