Yvette Woodruff was 15 when she was abducted and killed in Ontario, California, on September 2, 1990. The two other victims survived; Yvette was shot and killed at the scene.

The case went cold for years until DNA testing linked Prieto to the crime. Riverside County sheriff’s detectives identified him in 2010 after his DNA was recovered from the scene. Prieto was already connected to other killings in California and Virginia and had been sentenced to death for the rape and murder of another young girl tied to the same September 2, 1990 incident. The account states he was executed in Virginia in 2015.

If anyone knew Yvette, saw activity around that vacant lot on September 2, 1990, or has information that was never shared with investigators, please come forward.
