Maria Reyna Navarro, a 32-year-old Hispanic mother of three from Corpus Christi, was found dead in Buck Sansom Park in Fort Worth on June 17, 1995. Family members say the last contact was a phone call on the morning of June 16 when Maria said she was on her way home; she never returned. Her partially nude body was discovered the next morning. Investigators reported she had been struck in the head and strangled.

The case produced no immediate leads and remained unsolved for years. In 2005 DNA from the crime scene matched Juan Mesa Segundo, then in custody for the 1986 rape and murder of an 11-year-old. Segundo, who had prior convictions for crimes against women and had served time in prison, was arrested and charged with capital murder in Navarro’s death. Authorities also re-examined other unsolved Fort Worth homicides from 1986 to 1995 for possible links to him.

If anyone knew Maria, saw her in Fort Worth on June 16, 1995, or has information about her movements that week, please share what you know.
