Daniel Argueta Cordova was 24 when his unclothed body was found in a parking area behind the Lowe’s on Crain Highway in Waldorf, Maryland. Officers from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office responded about 8:24 p.m. on November 11, 2008, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled the death a homicide; the body showed trauma to the upper body. Cordova lived in Waldorf and worked as a cook at a local Outback Steakhouse.

Detectives were able to trace some of his last movements to a nearby liquor store. Surveillance from that store captured two people who were with Cordova; they remain unidentified persons of interest despite images released to the public and no arrests. The case remains an open cold case and Charles County Crime Solvers has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest or indictment.

If anyone knew Daniel, saw him that night, or recognizes the two people in the liquor-store footage, contact the Charles County Sheriff’s Office with what they know.
