A Very Personal Crime

About this episode

The episode discusses the unsolved murder of corrections officer Bryan Pickett, who was found shot dead after leaving a bar in Ogden.

On February 9th, 1980, Bryan Pickett, a corrections officer at the Weber County Jail, went to a bar in Ogden with a colleague after work.  Bryan left the bar around 1:30am, but he never made it home.  A few minutes later, a young couple found his jeep stopped in the middle of a dark road and Bryan's body in the street with a gunshot wound to the head. Judging by the wound, investigators believe Bryan knew what was coming and that it was not a random shooting.  But the case went cold and now detectives are looking for more answers.
