A cold case never goes cold for a family

Proof that newspapers still do what they were created to do, if this helps the Valtierra family ease the pain and find answers it'll all be worth it.



Three years after her youngest son was found dead in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Rachel Valtierra still has nightmares. She wonders how her son, Angel Anthony Valtierra, a 20-year-old with an impish smile, died. She wishes she could read his autopsy report. At least then, she says, she would stop imagining what may have happened. Investigators have never released how Angel was killed, all they have told her is that he was a homicide victim.
Read the story, hear the voices.
