Doris Anaid Vazquez Hernandez, 24, was found murdered in her Taylorsville, Utah home on Christmas Day 2001. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, she had moved to the Salt Lake area about five months earlier and was living alone in the upstairs portion of a house on Southridge Drive while her roommate was traveling. Friends who expected to celebrate together became concerned when she did not appear and could not be reached; they discovered her body that afternoon.

Investigators concluded Doris had been attacked earlier that morning and had put up a violent struggle. An autopsy confirmed strangulation as the cause of death. Authorities identified a suspect, Fernando Leal Cervantes, who was seen with injuries the morning of the killing; he was charged but fled before being apprehended. The case remains unsolved and listed as a cold case while the fugitive charged in the homicide has not been located.

Did anyone who knew Doris in the Salt Lake area have contact with her around Christmas 2001 or remember seeing a man with fresh injuries that day?
