Advanced Search Techniques and Collaborative Effort Bring Closure to Long-Standing Cold Case
— Doug Bishop
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Through a coordinated multi-agency effort and advanced search techniques, United Search Corps has brought resolution to the long-unsolved disappearance of Steven Willard Anderson.
On September 29, 2024, Doug Bishop, founder of United Search Corps, located Anderson’s submerged vehicle in Starvation Reservoir. Forensic recovery efforts on September 30 revealed human remains inside the vehicle, bringing closure to the case.
“At this time, this remains an ongoing investigation led by Detective Ben Pender with the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office. Official identification will be made by the medical examiner at a later date. Tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with the Anderson family as they’ve endured the nightmare of not knowing for the past 20 years,” said Doug Bishop, founder of United Search Corps.
Anderson disappeared in June 2004 after leaving his home in Murray, Utah, enroute to the family cabin near Flaming Gorge. Neither he nor his dark green 2001 Toyota Sequoia was ever seen again. There was no cell activity or financial transactions after the day he vanished. The recovery operation involved the collaborative efforts of United Search Corps, Sparks Heavy Rescue, Atlas Towing, Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office, and the Utah Department of Natural Resources.
“This case would not have been resolved without the tireless dedication and coordination of all the agencies involved,” said Bishop. “Our success here is a testament to what can be achieved when expertise and resources are brought together.”
