Martha Kitzler, 17, was found murdered in her Hollywood, California, home on May 28, 1984. She was of mixed Nicaraguan and American descent and lived with relatives; her half-brother Mauricio Rodriguez Silva, recently paroled and with a known violent history, had been staying there intermittently after his release earlier that month. On the morning of the killing Martha spoke with her boyfriend, Flavio Alvarez, and planned to meet him for lunch. When Alvarez arrived, Silva answered the door and said Martha was in the shower. Moments later Alvarez discovered Martha’s body in her bedroom.

The victim had been strangled, stabbed multiple times, and her throat was slit. Her body was partially covered with a towel and clothing and the bedroom appeared ransacked, though $2,700 in cash remained hidden under the mattress. An autopsy found asphyxia likely from manual strangulation, postmortem stab wounds, and signs of recent vaginal trauma. Who has information about Martha, her movements that morning, or anyone who was in that house around May 28, 1984?
