- Distinguishing Characteristics Hispanic female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Lourdes has a two-inch birthmark on the inside of her upper right thigh. She is of Puerto Rican descent.
- Details of Disappearance:
- Lourdes disappeared from her home in Chino, California on August 11, 1985. Her husband, Samuel, didn’t report her missing; her family in Puerto Rico did two weeks later. They were having serious marriage problems and Lourdes was planning to leave him.
Police found blood in Lourdes’s bedroom and a trail leading to the garage. Their young daughter said she saw her mother, wrapped in a blanket, being taken away in a green truck. A bloody mattress with a bullet hole was found nearby, and a bullet matched the gun found in their bed.
Samuel was convicted of Lourdes’s murder in 1987 and sentenced to a long prison term, even though her body was never found. He claims he’s innocent. He was considered for parole in 2014, but was denied because he never admitted guilt or showed remorse. The evidence strongly suggests Lourdes was murdered.
