Cold cases heating up again as Yakima County sheriff plans task force

YAKIMA, Wash. -- For more than two decades, relatives of Samantha Rios wondered what happened after she took a taxi to her home in Naches Heights in 1992 and disappeared.

In 2016, skeletal remains were uncovered by a heavy-equipment operator moving dirt in the Gleed area and were identified as belonging to Rios. She had been stabbed to death. Detective Chad Michael of the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office took a new look at the missing person case that had gone cold years before.
