The body of an unidentified young woman was found in the Arizona desert in August 1992.

Moriah Wilson could do just about anything. As a kid she became a world-class skier, and then as an adult she became one of the best gravel bike racers in the world. In May of 2022, she was in Austin, Texas, for a race when she was brutally murdered in her friend's home.
