  • 26. COLD CASE: Niki Bakoles (Salt Lake City, Utah)
    Oct 9 2024

    On October 8, 2000 duck hunters discovered human remains near Saltair (concert venue) near the Great Salt Lake. Investigators, as well as the coroner, believed that the woman had been dead for one to two years before she was found. It took twelve years to identify the remains, nicknamed “Saltair Sally.” The remains belonged to twenty-year-old Niki Bakoles. Despite getting her name back, her case still remains unsolved. It's been 24 years and her case is still cold. Who killed Niki?

    If you knew Niki or Joel, her boyfriend, back during this time, you are encouraged to contact UPD detectives to aid in the investigation into her death.

    Anyone with any information regarding Bakoles or the case is encouraged to contact detective Ben Pender with the Unified Police Department at 385-468-9816. If you know anything that might help, please contact the unified police department at (801) 840-4000 or the Cold Case Tip Hotline: 833-DPS-SAFE (833-377-7233)

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.
