  • 14. MISSING: Acacia Bishop (Salt Lake City, Utah)
    Jul 17 2024

    Sunday, May 25, 2003 was the last time 19 month old Acacia Bishop was seen. Acacia was abducted by her grandmother in Salt Lake City, Utah. Acacia was last seen together in Idaho Falls, Idaho on May 26, 2003 near the Snake River. Authorities believe Acacia drowned in the Snake River; they have classified her case as a homicide. They do not feel that Acacia accidentally fell into the river. Nevertheless, her parents are convinced she is still alive. Foul play is suspected in her case due to the circumstances involved. Acacia is still missing and would be 22 years old today. What happened to Acacia? Her family is still searching for her, these 21 years later.

    Acacia was last seen wearing a pink sundress with white sunflowers. Both of her ears are pierced and she has a tennis ball-sized birthmark on her lower left abdomen.

    If you have any information about the disappearance of Acacia Bishop, you can contact the Unified Police of Greater Salt Lake at (801)-743-7000. You can also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE LOST (843-5678). There’s an online form you can use to submit tips as well, which you can find here.

  • 13. COLD CASE: David Stack (Wendover, Utah)
    Jul 10 2024

    David Stack was 18 years old in 1976 and found himself hitchhiking from his home in Broomfield, Colorado to California to visit his sibling. David made it as far as Wendover, Utah on his travels but was found murdered on June 9, 1976. He had been shot twice in the head. At the time, David was unable to be identified and remained a John Doe (unidentified) for 39 years. DNA testing in 2015 gave him his name back, but his case remains unsolved. David’s family finally knows what happened to him after 40 years, but they don’t know who killed their brother. David deserves justice and his family needs to know why their brother was brutally slain.

    If you know anything about the 1976 murder of David Stack, please CONTACT TOOELE COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE 435-882-5600.

Renee is very natural in her speech. I love how relatable she makes it and how candid she is.

That there are just so few as she gets off the ground. Can't wait to hear more.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
