Albert Pena Rivera was born in 1954 and was murdered on April 13, 1975, in Riverside, California. He was 21 at the time of his death. Rivera’s body was recovered in Los Angeles County and he was later buried at Elsinore Valley Cemetery in Lake Elsinore, Riverside County.

Rivera is identified as one of the victims of serial killer Patrick Kearney, known as the Trash Bag Killer, who killed multiple young men and boys between 1962 and 1977. Kearney’s pattern involved luring young men and murdering them; his arrest and convictions later led to life terms without parole.

Does anyone have memories of Rivera or information about his life in Riverside that could add to the record?
