On May 11, 2009, Benjamin Almand, age 72, was found dead in his San Antonio, Texas residence. According to reports, Almand had suffered a violent attack inside his home. The authorities responded after neighbors noticed unusual inactivity and requested a welfare check. Upon arrival, officers discovered that Almand had sustained multiple blunt force injuries, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The San Antonio Police Department began investigating the homicide, canvassing the area for witnesses and collecting evidence. However, despite initial efforts, there were no immediate leads or suspects. The investigation suggested that the attack may have been personal, as there were no clear signs of forced entry or robbery. Almand’s case eventually became part of the San Antonio Cold Case Review Team's ongoing efforts. This team regularly revisits unsolved homicides, hoping that advances in forensic technology or new information may eventually help solve these cases.
The authorities have continued to appeal for public assistance, asking anyone with knowledge about Benjamin Almand’s death to come forward. The case remains unsolved, but the San Antonio Police Department remains committed to bringing closure to the victim's family by identifying those responsible for the crime.
