Fifteen-year-old Tuesday Roberts vanished on March 30, 1992, while walking to Valley Fair Mall near Salt Lake City, Utah, alongside her friend 16-year-old Lisa Martinez. The pair disappeared without trace and their families spent years searching for answers.

A break came in April 1996 when Roberto V. Arguelles, already incarcerated for other crimes, confessed and led authorities to gravesites near his stepfather’s pig farm. Arguelles admitted he had offered the girls a ride, then kidnapped them. He said he sexually assaulted and strangled Tuesday Roberts; Lisa Martinez was, he said, stabbed more than 40 times with a wood chisel when she resisted a sexual assault. His confession also implicated him in the murders of 42-year-old Margo Bond and 13-year-old Stephanie Blundell.

Arguelles pleaded guilty to four counts of capital murder and was sentenced to death. His death in prison on November 15, 2003, closed the case procedurally but left lasting wounds for the victims’ families. Did anyone in the area in 1992 have memories or information about sightings of the girls that could still help fill gaps in the timeline?
