Lorenzo Guerrero, a 28-year-old man, was found deceased on November 18, 1995, in a remote and rocky hillside area along Highway 18, in unincorporated Apple Valley, California. His body was discovered by authorities in a location that suggested foul play, and his death has since been classified as a homicide. Despite ongoing efforts, the case has remained unsolved for decades, with investigators appealing to the public for information. Over the years, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department has revisited the case but has not identified a suspect or motive.
The location where Guerrero was found is relatively isolated, making it difficult for investigators to gather sufficient evidence. This case is one of the cold cases under the purview of the county’s sheriff's department, which continues to encourage individuals with any leads to come forward. The circumstances surrounding Guerrero’s death remain mysterious, and despite the passage of time, his family continues to seek justice.
