Sarah Beth Gonzales was 13 when she and her 12-year-old cousin Priscilla Almares were reported missing on December 16, 1994. Their bodies were found the next day at Rodriguez Park; an autopsy confirmed both girls had been sexually assaulted before they were killed.

The investigation struggled for years to identify a suspect. Detectives later linked Ramon Torres Hernandez to the killings through a DNA match between his sample and biological evidence from the scene, and authorities said he also confessed. Hernandez had been arrested on April 4, 2001, for the abduction, rape, and murder of Rosa Maria Rosado and was convicted and sentenced to death for that crime; he was executed on November 14, 2012. Hernandez was never formally charged for Gonzales and Almares’ murders, but investigators announced the case was considered solved based on the confession and DNA evidence.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Sarah or Priscilla around December 16, 1994, who hasn’t already spoken to investigators?
