Miguel Antonio Hernandez was 18 when he was last seen alive after attending a dance with his cousin, Emeterio Melgar Hernandez, on the evening of August 13, 1982. He had recently moved to the Salt Lake area from Santa Ana, California, and was originally from El Salvador.

On August 17, 1982, hikers found Miguel’s body in brush about 100 yards off the road between East Canyon and Immigration Canyon. Investigators determined he died of gunshot wounds. The body of his uncle was found nearby and also had been shot; both deaths were treated as a double homicide.

Did anyone who knew Miguel or his uncle, or who was in the East Canyon–Immigration Canyon area that week in August 1982, see or hear anything that could help?
