On December 16th, 1995, the body of 17 year old Krystal Beslanowitch was found along the Provo River near Midway, a mountain town 38 miles southeast of Salt Lake City Utah. She was found lying face down and completely naked, surrounded by large river rocks which were covered in blood. She had been beaten savagely to the point where she was unrecognizable, and police knew that whoever had murdered Krystal had done so with a lot of rage, utilizing one of the river rocks lying nearby to hit Krystal in her head and face at least a dozen times. Today on Crime Weekly we are going to discuss this case, and how it went cold for over two decades before improved technology and a dedicated police force were able to finally uncover who killed Krystal Beslanowitch.

Hello everybody and welcome back to Crime Weekly. How are you doing today, Derek?

0:49.1

I'm good. I'm good. I'm ready to cover part two. This is a really fascinating case.

0:54.6

You picked this one and I'm glad you did. I had never heard about this case prior

1:00.7

to you discussing it with me. And, man, a lot of layers to it.

1:04.8

Yeah, it's really tough because she was so young, Crystal Besslanovic, whose case we're

1:10.5

covering in this part as well as the part before. So if you guys haven't heard part one

1:15.0

of this case, you should probably listen to that first or none of this is going to make

1:19.5

sense. But it's just very sad because she was so young. She'd had a troubled life.

1:24.7

She'd gone through a lot. I wouldn't say that she was on the right path as we speak

1:30.9

where she was in her life at that moment. But I think that because she was so young,

1:35.5

there was a good chance that she could have found her right path again. And she never

1:39.0

got that chance. And it makes me sad.

1:41.0

Yeah, I mean, and you're right because you hear a lot of stories about individuals who

1:44.8

had made some personal choices in their childhood that weren't the best. And then they turned

1:49.8

out to be very successful individuals with a big family and a happy life. And you would
