A man is found dead my a hotel maid In the summer of 1998, the life of 36-year-old Alberto Antonio Vence, a Hispanic male, came to a tragic and violent end in Salt Lake City, Utah. On June 12th, a cleaning person at the Regis Hotel on South State Street made a grim discovery after opening the door to apartment C54. Inside, Alberto was found deceased on the floor, having been dead for some time.
Authorities were called to the scene, and it was quickly determined that his death was not of natural causes.
The Medical Examiner officially ruled the manner of death as a homicide, though the specific cause was deliberately withheld from the public for investigative purposes. This detail remains a closely guarded piece of information in the ongoing investigation. Friends and acquaintances of Alberto described him as a vulnerable individual, as he was mentally challenged. It was also reported that he had been the victim of robbery on numerous occasions prior to his death, suggesting a pattern of being targeted.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Alberto Antonio Vence's murder remains an open and unsolved cold case. Investigators have yet to publicly name any suspects or make any arrests in connection with his death. The Salt Lake City Police Department continues to seek information from the public, hoping that someone will come forward with the crucial piece of evidence that could bring closure to his family and finally deliver justice for Alberto.
