Utah health officials say the public risk remains “extremely low” after three Utahns were exposed to the Andes strain of hantavirus during a cruise ship outbreak.

Officials say the passengers are currently being monitored in specialized isolation facilities in Nebraska and Georgia while doctors determine whether they can safely return home.

State epidemiologist Dr. Leisha Nolen also addressed fears of another pandemic… saying while people are understandably nervous post-COVID, this virus is very different and far better understood by health experts.

From road rage to gunfire in seconds.
This happened near Jordan High on State Street in Sandy. Police say the suspect took off and somehow no one was hurt.

Laura Ann Aime was 17 when she was killed in 1974. For decades, her family lived with the belief that Ted Bundy was responsible, but without the kind of proof that could officially close the case.

This week, that changed.

New DNA testing made possible by advances in forensic technology confirmed what had long been suspected, allowing investigators in Utah County to formally close the case more than 50 years later.

But inside the room where that announcement was made, the focus was not on science. It was on memory.

Laura’s younger sister, Michelle Impala, stood in front of a packed room of family members spanning generations and shared what her sister was like beyond the headlines.

A girl who loved animals.
Who rode horses through town.
Who looked out for her younger siblings.
Who made ordinary days feel bigger.

For Michelle, speaking about Laura is not painful. It is meaningful.

Because being remembered means she is still here in some way.

After half a century, this moment is not just about confirmation.

It is about acknowledgment.
It is about care.
It is about a name, a story, and finally, an answer.

Police say the men, all residents of group homes, were left inside a running vehicle in a garage for hours before they were found dead.

In this interview with KSL NewsRadio, Colton’s mom Wendy Rollins describes years of trying to find safe, long-term care for her son.. and says families of adults with severe disabilities often face a system with few quality options.
