Episode Description
In October 2008, during a night shift in Ogden, Jeffrey Bancroft left work on his lunch break and never returned. His son Craig remembers him as honest and hardworking, “the carburetor king” who could fix anything. What looked like a car crash was later ruled a murder. The case went cold, and now investigators are taking a fresh look.

More about Utah's Cold Cases

Each unsolved murder holds a story—of shattered lives, mysteries that linger long after headlines fade. Why do cases go cold? Sometimes, it’s a lack of witnesses or evidence; other times, the crime scene surfaces months or years later, leaving investigators grasping for answers. But for families who have lost someone, the pain never grows old—and the need for resolution remains as urgent as ever.

Utah’s Cold Cases invites you to join KSL reporter Andrew Adams as he digs into these files. With the latest updates on the investigations, Andrew brings forgotten cases back into the spotlight, in an effort to spark new leads and offer families a measure of hope.
