Richard E. Stanley was 37 when he was killed at the Oakridge campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon, east of Salt Lake City, on August 21, 1978.

The Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake investigated the homicide but did not publicly identify or arrest a suspect. Little has been released about the friend who witnessed the incident, the argument’s cause, or any physical description of the assailant, and the case grew cold over the years.

Does anyone who was in Big Cottonwood Canyon that night or who knew Richard have information that could help bring this case back into focus?
