Priscilla Almares was 12 when she and her cousin Sarah Beth Gonzales, 13, vanished after leaving a friend’s house on December 16, 1994. Their bodies were found the next day in Rodriguez Park; autopsies determined both girls had been sexually assaulted before they were killed.

The case stalled for years before DNA from the crime scene was later linked to Ramon Torres Hernandez, a convicted violent offender with a prior imprisonment for burglary during which he committed sexual assault. Hernandez later confessed to the killings, and investigators considered the case solved, though he was never formally charged in the murders of Almares and Gonzales.

Hernandez was sentenced to death for a separate 2001 murder and was executed by lethal injection on November 14, 2012. Did anyone who knew Priscilla or Sarah in 1994 see them that evening or notice something unusual near Rodriguez Park?
