Dalia Soto, 46, a female Phoenix resident, was killed in a still-unsolved homicide reported to police on January 23, 2015, with the incident location recorded as 4602 East Broadway Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Public homicide databases compiled from law-enforcement records classify her death as murder, note that the precise cause of death has not been publicly specified, and list the case status as unsolved under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Police Department.
Information summarized from case-focused sites indicates that Soto was found dead inside her Phoenix home in early January 2015, with her death later logged in homicide databases under the January 23, 2015 reporting date. In the aftermath of the discovery, investigators determined that her 2001 Toyota Corolla was missing from the residence; that vehicle was eventually located in Mesa, a neighboring city in the greater Phoenix area. These details — the scene being her home, the missing car, and its later recovery in another city — have been repeatedly highlighted in public appeals connected to her case, underscoring investigators’ interest in movements around her residence and vehicle in the days leading up to and immediately following her death.
Investigative summaries available online state that Phoenix police publicly identified four men as “persons of interest” in the homicide and released images of them, describing them as the last known individuals seen with Soto before she was found dead. Authorities asked the public for help identifying and locating these four men, indicating that they could have critical information about what happened, but no names have been publicly released in connection with those images.
Despite these efforts, there is no public record of any arrest or filed criminal charge in Soto’s homicide. Project Cold Case’s entry for her lists the suspect’s name as “Unknown,” the offense as murder, the cause as unknown, and the case status as unsolved, with Phoenix police identified as the investigating agency. Case-tracking sites that monitor whether homicides have been cleared likewise continue to mark her case as “not solved” and note that a $1,000 reward is available for information that leads to an arrest or resolution, indicating that, as of the most recent online updates, investigators have not yet identified a suspect they can formally charge in the killing of Dalia Soto.
