The Last Meal Podcast

On today's episode... A brutal Utah cold case from 1995. Something about this one really struck me, so I decided to look into it and put an episode together. Rosie's family has been waiting almost exactly 31 years for answers.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CASE, PLEASE CONTACT THE UTAH COLD CASE COALITION TIP LINE AT 385-258-3313.

On today's episode...the year I grew up. So many horrible men were executed that year for crimes that made me nauseous. This one's got a variety of terrible things and some very interesting last meals. Come back tomorrow to watch my Rumble Short featuring one of these last meal requests. I cooked it for my family last week.

Wow. Never thought I'd get to the point that I actually did this episode. Be careful what you name your kids. Some names are bad omens.

On today's super long episode...a crossbow, a robbery gone wrong, and two different kinds of religious extremism. So many awful crimes have taken place in the land of legal gambling and potatoes. This one may surprise you.
