Deseret News Share this story Joyce Yost family Joyce Lynn Yost disappeared from her apartment in South Ogden on an August weekend in 1985. She is believed to be dead, killed by a man who was intent on keeping her from testifying against him in a criminal trial. That man, Douglas Anderson Lovell, was later convicted of sexually assaulting Yost and, in a separate trial, sentenced to die for murdering her. However, Lovell’s case has for decades been tied up in appeals, and Yost’s body has never been found. The Joyce Yost case is the focus of the newly released second season of the KSL podcast “Cold.” Yost’s experience prior to her disappearance and the many facets of the investigation that followed have not previously been presented together in a single, holistic narrative.
