Lloyd Wallace Wenzel is recorded as having died on August 22, 1971, in Sutter County, California, during the period when a series of murders in local orchards was being uncovered. The broader investigation that year exposed numerous bodies buried in shallow graves in area orchards; the victims were mainly middle-aged, white, transient farm laborers, and many had been stabbed or slashed with a machete. The inquiry led to the arrest and conviction of Juan Corona, a farm labor contractor, after items bearing his name were found in some graves.
