Michelle Yvette Gutierrez, 23, originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, was found brutally murdered on October 30, 1986, in an industrial area of Rubidoux near Riverside County, California. A man collecting aluminum cans discovered her body in a drainage ditch. Her clothing was torn and shredded, she was covered in blood, and the scene showed extreme violence.

The victim, described as a young Hispanic woman, had multiple stab wounds to the face, chest, and buttocks, ligature marks around her neck consistent with strangulation, and severe trauma to both the anal and vaginal areas; the genital area had been mutilated. No further information about a suspect or arrest is included in this account.

If anyone knew Michelle, saw her in the days before October 30, 1986, or has information about her movements in the Rubidoux area, please come forward.
