Maria Reyes, a resident of Garden Grove, California, was found murdered on January 4, 2002, in Chino Hills. Her body was discovered in a dirt field, and authorities determined that she had been stabbed to death. Investigations revealed that Reyes was last seen the night before, between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m., leaving an address in Santa Ana. Witnesses reported seeing a group of Hispanic males in a 1990s brown Chevy van near the field around the time of the homicide.
Despite the leads, Reyes' case remains unsolved, and authorities have continued to seek the public’s assistance, offering avenues for anonymous tips. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is still actively investigating this cold case, hoping for new information that could bring justice to Maria Reyes and her family.
