Eddie Terrero was 39 when his body was found on August 4, 1980, in Naples, Florida. His death remains unsolved and is listed among Collier County’s cold-case homicides from that period. Reports say details of the killing are unclear; investigators struggled with limited evidence and witness cooperation in many cases then, and the county’s geography and transient population were cited as factors that complicated investigations.

Remote areas, including parts of the Everglades, were described as places where bodies were sometimes discarded, further hampering evidence recovery and identification. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office says it continues to review cold cases and hopes advances such as DNA technology might eventually produce leads in Terrero’s murder.

If anyone knew Eddie or has information about his death, please come forward.
