Hi, Crime junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers.

And I'm Brett.

And today, I want to tell you about a case that represents more than anything else,

innocence, shattering in the face of the worst kind of evil.

No one likes to think that a child tucked away asleep in their family's home

is anything other than perfectly safe.

But when one little girl vanishes from her bedroom in the middle of the night,

only to be found murdered, her entire community is forced to recognize that the worst really is possible.

This is the story of Rosie Tapia.

On the evening of August 12, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah, a woman named Luene Tapia is home

in her basement apartment, getting ready to have a Saturday date night with her husband, Roberto.

And girl is ready for a night out.

She's got two older daughters from a previous relationship, and she and Roberto have three little kids

under the age of seven.

Like her daughter Rosa, who they call Rosie, is only six.

And then her twins, Robert and Angelica are four.

So tonight is Luene's night.

Like she's going to get dolled.

She's going to be Luene.

Like, yes, not mom for a night.

I totally get that.

That was what karaoke was for me.
