Maria Chavez was 15 when she was murdered in Platina, California, on July 2, 1992. Her body was located after an anonymous person mailed a letter to the Anderson police that included a map and Maria’s wristwatch, which led officers to the site where her remains were found.

Maria lived in Anderson; her disappearance and death have left a lasting impact on the local community. Despite the tip that produced the map and watch, the case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who lived in Anderson or Platina around 1992 remember seeing or hearing anything that could help investigators?
