Gloria Ann Gonzales was a 19-year-old Hispanic woman from Houston who disappeared near her home and was found dead on October 28, 1971. Her body was recovered near Addick’s Reservoir in west Houston and the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.

Her body was found within 35 yards of where Colette Wilson’s body had been located months earlier, a proximity that led authorities to consider the possibility the murders were linked. Edward Harold Bell, a convicted murderer who later claimed in prison to have killed as many as 11 girls in the Houston and Galveston areas during the 1970s, sent confessions from his cell in 1998; those confessions were not fully investigated and no arrests were made in Gonzales’s case.

The exact circumstances of Gloria Ann Gonzales’s death remain unsolved. If anyone has information about her movements in late October 1971 or about activity near Addick’s Reservoir at that time, please come forward.
