We’re visiting Echo, Utah, a place that held onto murderous secrets for over one-hundred years. I’m starting in the old cemetery near one of the most historic corridors in the American West, then walking into the strange and still unresolved story that seven human skeletons were discovered under a saloon after Echo’s railroad boom faded. Summit County’s own history page confirms that after the railroad moved on, seven skeletons were found under one saloon, and the surviving Echo Church and School still stands nearby as a witness to that era. Then we’re coming forward to the present day where prosecutors in Summit County have now charged Reina Chavez-Sandobal and Francisco Santos-Morales with murder in the death of Juan Manuel Sanchez, whose body was found nearby. Investigators say the victim was drugged, beaten, transported, and dumped and the charging documents outline text messages, surveillance video, a hammer, a blood-stained blanket, and a body-disposal effort that looks far more rushed and disorganized than the alleged suspects are suggesting. What ties these stories together is not just geography. It’s behavior. One case reflects how the dead could vanish in a frontier boomtown and stay hidden for generations. The other shows how hard it is to make a body disappear in the modern world of cameras, license plate readers, forensic pathology, and digital evidence. This case tells us something about offender planning, panic, concealment, and why dump sites are often more revealing than killers think. #ProfilingEvil #EchoUtah #EchoCanyon #SummitCounty #BrownsCanyon #JuanManuelSanchez #ReinaChavezSandobal #FranciscoSantosMorales #VictimsMatter #SurvivorsMatter #DomesticViolence #TrueCrime #ColdCase #WildWestHistory #RailroadHistory #UtahCrime #BodyDumping #CriminalBehavior #ForensicInvestigation #MissingPersons ======================================== CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/ ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store
