In late summer 2014, 19-year-old Victoria Torres of Pasco was one of three young people found shot to death in a remote Benton County cornfield off Nine Canyon Road and Coffin Road. The bodies were discovered on the morning of August 9, 2014. The other victims were 23-year-old Abigail Torres-Renteria and 22-year-old David Perez-Saucedo; the two women were not related.

Autopsy and scene evidence show the killings were brutal and deliberate. All three victims had been shot; Victoria Torres had also been strangled and bore an impression on her neck from a rosary worn during the struggle. Her body was located a short distance from the others and investigators concluded she had been shot in the back while attempting to flee. Surveillance footage placed the three at a Umatilla gas station the night before with a group that included at least one armed person.

The investigation centered on a group of men from Umatilla. Francisco J. Resendez Miranda, then 23, was arrested the day after the bodies were found, later charged, tried, and in November 2015 convicted on three counts of aggravated first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole.

Did anyone in the Pasco or Umatilla area recognize the group seen with the victims the night before the murders?
