- Deadly Salt Lake City scooter crash site appeared damaged for years
- Date posted
- 1 month ago
- Description
- Images show a sidewalk, where young mother Ashley Peck crashed her rented scooter and died, had been damaged for more than a decade—though its condition did not appear as severe as the broken concrete at the site now.
Emilio Gonzalez, cousin of Ashley Peck, shared with 2News Google location screen grabs of 450 S. West Temple in downtown Salt Lake from 2011, 2015 and 2018; and damage of the sidewalk—where Peck was thrown from her scooter in early morning darkness last Friday morning---is clearly visible.
"Those photos show that buckling has been there for almost 13 years," said Gonzalez, adding his family "loves" the city, but the sidewalk should have been repaired.
"It's the public sidewalk," he said. "It's public. We pay our taxes. We make sure everything goes into investments for our safety, our health, and our future generations to come. I believe the city should be responsible just for the sidewalk."

- Description
- A Price woman with a severe disability who was raped by her stepfather has died.
Ashley Vigil's stepfather, Brian Kenneth Urban, pled guilty to raping her — he's been convicted of five felony charges.
But Ashley was 31 years old and not a minor, so there's no mandatory minimum prison sentence for her rapist. Her family said they still don't know how long he will be behind bars. They'll learn that in his sentencing on April 5.
Police body camera footage shows Kenneth Urban arrested in October 2022.
Ashley had a rare disorder known as Rett Syndrome. Her mom, Paula Vigil, said she couldn't walk, talk or fight.

- Description
- A Utah group is now calling the death of a 21-year-old transgender man a potential hate crime.
Alex Franco was reported missing on Mar. 18. Franco got into a car in Taylorsville; witnesses heard a gunshot, and the car sped away. On Mar. 19, police found Franco's body in a remote area in Utah County.
2News reached out to Taylorsville Police for new information in the case but said there were no updates to be provided.
Police said in a news conference that the investigation did not reveal that the death was a hate crime; however, a group named "Moms Demand Action” said the murder of transgender people is too common.

- 'That boy is your hero': Police credit child's escape for convicting Franke, Hildebrandt
- Date posted

- Description
- A Utah detective is talking about how a child's escape ultimately led to the conviction of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt in an abuse case.
“It’s definitely a case that pulls at your heartstrings a little bit,” said Det. Jessica Bate with the Santa Clara-Ivins Police Department.
Detective Bate spoke to 2News’ Brian Schnee on Monday about the case that garnered worldwide attention and resulted in Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt convicted on felony child abuse charges.
“Actually, seeing it in person, I don’t think anything could have prepared you for that,” said Bate, who has been with the department for six years. “I don’t think it really sank in the state of their condition until I received the reports from the medical personnel which essentially indicated that if these children were given back to their caretakers or guardians at the time, they wouldn’t have survived much longer.”

- State drives for small homes under $350K, but what will that buy?
- Date posted
- 1 month ago
- Description
- Gov. Cox and the Utah Legislature are dangling a big carrot for developers—$300 million in state money funneled through banks—for low interest construction loans, if home developers build small.
The loans, at 3-5%, would be available for developers who commit to building “starter” homes for 60% of a new project, homes that would be priced below $350,000.
But in Utah’s housing market, where median prices are in the $500,000 range, what kind of house would $350,000 buy, and on what size lot?
“Some of the numbers that have been kicked aroundyou would put like eight (homes) per acre,” said Ross Ford, director of the Utah Home Builders Association. “These would be small homes, like 1000 square-feet, no garage.”
Ford also said the homes might only have one bathroom, similar to many houses “built 50 years ago,” but which are not being constructed now.

From when they gave parenting tips to the developments of their child abuse trial.

She also saw the new developments and evidence videos that were released on Friday.
"I don't even have words, it’s just heartbreaking. I can’t believe someone would do something like that," Ficker said.

- CONTENT WARNING: This video evidence in the Ruby Franke-Jodi Hildebrandt case shows a child who has been the victim of abuse and may be disturbing. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
Part of release of a massive amount of evidence in the Ruby Franke-Jodi Hildebrandt felony aggravated child abuse case included body camera footage of the day Ivins City police first responded to a 911 call involving two of Franke's children.
Several clips included some of the moments police and EMTs interacted with one of the children, who was inside a closet in Hildebrandt's Ivins home and was too terrified to leave.
The clips show two EMTs with the Santa Clara-Ivins Fire & Rescue as they coax the girl out of the closet.

- Date posted

- Description
- Gov. Spencer Cox has vetoed seven bills out of nearly 600 passed by the Utah Legislature in the last session—and will let a measure allowing medical uses of psychedelics to become law without his signature.
The moves were announced late Thursday afternoon, just hours before a midnight deadline for Cox to act on legislation.
SB 266, Medical Amendments, may be the most notable of the governor’s actions. It allows “any form of psilocybin” to be used by a healthcare system in “treatment programs.”

Information pertaining to Janis Marie Stavros’s disappearance lies inside of a cardboard box, placed next to the desk of Ben Pender, a detective working for the Unified Police Department.
Detective Pender’s position as a full-time cold case investigator is fairly unique, as only seven percent of police departments around the nation have the resources to dedicate staff full time to working unsolved homicides and pissing persons cases.
