The murders of Emily Quijano
and
Gabriel Almiron
September 8th, 2015 was a normal day in Orem, Utah except for one thing. That was last anyone ever saw or heard from Emily Quijano or her young son, Gabriel Almiron. Emily's boyfriend, Christopher Poulson told police and anyone else who would listen that he had to kick Emily out because he couldn't tolerate her use of drugs in their shared apartment.
That might have been the end of this missing persons story if it had only been Emily who was missing, but cops had a three year old child to find. That all but assured a criminal investigation and the involvement of the FBI.
This case has not yet been completed. Let us know what you think! Have authorities found their killer? Where are the bodies of Emily and Gabriel?

Dylan Redwine
Find Me Group
UDs on
Natalie White
and
Kimberlee Graves
This episode contains brief updates on Natalie White and Kimberlee Graves before we move on to the main subject, Dylan Redwine and the efforts made to find him.
Dylan Redwine and his father, Mark Redwine, had a strained relationship. What could possibly drive a man to allegedly murder his own son? Is any length too extreme when searching for a missing child? What about a missing adult?
Special thanks to Kelly Snyder, founder of the Find Me Group. Check them out at findmegroup.org and their partners in the search for Dylan, Arizona Search Track and Rescue at azstar.org
We will be posting a BONUS episode soon with more from Kelly with Find Me Group. In it, he describes new artificial intelligence technology currently in development which will add even more resources for law enforcement and families of the missing and murdered, and he also provides some advice from the perspective of not only a former federal law enforcement agent, but also from that of someone who has spent the last almost two decades concentrating on finding the missing and supporting the desired end result: justice.
