In late summer 1982 two cousins were found shot to death in the Salt Lake City area in what authorities treated as a connected double homicide. Emeterio Melgar-Hernandez, a 33-year-old Hispanic dishwasher at the Salt Lake Hilton and a husband and father of eight who had come from El Salvador, was last seen by coworkers on August 14, 1982. His body was discovered five miles above the junction of I-80 and U-65 on August 19, 1982; an autopsy showed he died of gunshot wounds and had been at the scene for some time.

Two days earlier hikers found the body of his 18-year-old cousin, Miguel Antonio Hernandez, off a road in nearby East Canyon; Miguel had moved to the Salt Lake City area from Santa Ana, California to live with Emeterio. The cousins were last seen together on the evening of August 13, 1982 when they attended a dance. Because of the proximity, timing, and similar manner of death, investigators treated the deaths as related, but the cases have grown cold and remain unsolved with no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects.

Did anyone who knew Emeterio or Miguel have information about their movements in Salt Lake City in mid-August 1982?
