On the morning of April 4, 1995, the body of Celestino Balbuena was discovered in the waters of the Tijuana River in San Diego, California. Alongside him were the bodies of two other Hispanic males, who, like Balbuena, remain unidentified to this day. The discovery of these bodies raised questions and concerns about the circumstances surrounding their deaths, leaving a perplexing mystery for local authorities and the community.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office has been handling the case, which was assigned the agency case number 1995-00669. Despite the efforts of the Medical Examiner's team, including a detailed autopsy and investigation process, the identities of the two men found alongside Balbuena have not been established. The office, located at 5570 Overland Avenue, Suite 101 in San Diego, has been the central agency working on this case, attempting to piece together what might have led to the tragic events of that April morning.
Efforts to solve the case have included reaching out to the public for any information that may help identify the deceased individuals and uncover the circumstances leading to their deaths. The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office continues to invite anyone who might have information to come forward. For those wishing to contribute information, the office can be contacted at 858-694-2895, and further details about ongoing cases can be accessed through their website.
