Alberto Antonio Vence was 36 when he was found dead in Salt Lake City in the summer of 1998. On June 12 a cleaning person at the Regis Hotel on South State Street opened apartment C54 and discovered Vence deceased on the floor; he had been dead for some time. The Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, but the specific cause of death has been withheld from the public for investigative reasons.

Friends and acquaintances described Vence as mentally challenged and vulnerable. They also said he had been robbed multiple times before his death, suggesting he was repeatedly targeted. The Salt Lake City Police Department has not announced any suspects or arrests and the investigation remains open and unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Alberto or who lived near the Regis Hotel in 1998 see anything unusual around June 12?
