SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Six-year-old Rosie Tapia was abducted through a window of her family’s Salt Lake City home in August 1995. She was later found sexually assaulted and drowned in a canal, a murder that’s never been solved. On the 25th anniversary of the girl’s death, her family and members of the Utah Cold Case Coalition came together to announce a new initiative in her honor: the Rosie Tapia Identification Project. The coalition’s forensic DNA laboratory will offer free DNA testing and genetic genealogy to identify unidentified bodies found in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
