Jorge G. Salvador, 86, was found dead at his Miami residence on January 20, 2009. Neighbors who had not seen him for a few days discovered his body; he lived alone. Investigators reported no signs of forced entry but did note indications of a struggle inside the home, suggesting Salvador may have known his attacker or that someone gained entry without alarming him.

Authorities have observed similarities between Salvador’s death and several other unsolved Miami-Dade homicides from that period involving older victims targeted in their homes, but no definitive link has been established. The Miami Police Department reported difficulties obtaining new evidence and hoped that later advances in DNA and forensic testing might produce leads. No suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains open.

If anyone knew Jorge, his routines, visitors, or saw anything unusual around his home in January 2009, please come forward with information.
