Timothy James Timmy Glashien, a 28-year-old White man from Bountiful, Utah, was murdered on February 23, 1980. Lured into Mill Creek Canyon under the pretense of a marijuana deal, he was driven about two miles up the canyon and was robbed. Glashien was shot four times at close range — twice in the head and twice in the upper torso — described by authorities as an execution-style killing. He showed no signs of having fought back. His body was found the next day in a pull-off area by a couple collecting aluminum cans.

For decades the case remained unsolved. In 2015 the Unified Police Department announced that investigators had identified two men as the killers: Stephen Wayne Anderson, believed to be the gunman, and his accomplice Ace Fairbanks. Anderson, then a 26-year-old prison escapee at the time of the murder, was linked by the handgun used in Glashien’s killing, a weapon later used by Anderson in another murder in California; Anderson had at one point confessed, saying he was hired by drug traffickers, then recanted. Fairbanks was identified as a motorcycle gang member. Both men were deceased by 2015, so no arrests were made; the identification nonetheless brought closure to the family.

Does anyone have information about Glashien’s time in Bountiful or about Mill Creek Canyon in 1980 that could add context to the case?
