Isabel Eva Martinez, 20, was found dead on July 26, 1996, in the North Side Pueblo apartment she shared with her 23-year-old boyfriend, Michael Torres. Her fatal injury was a wound to the left side of her head caused by a sawed-off shotgun. Investigators described the scene as ambiguous and were unable to determine whether the death was self-inflicted or a homicide; the case remains open but inactive and the manner of death was classified as undetermined.

Torres had a recent jail sentence in Denver for undisclosed charges and a prior arrest after his mother reported he threatened her with a sawed-off shotgun; he was at the apartment when Martinez was found but was never charged in connection with her death. No other suspects were identified and few people who knew the couple were located, leaving significant gaps in the timeline and motive.

Did anyone in Pueblo in 1996 know the couple or have information about their time in the city?
