On Sep. 18, workers in a vacant field at Highway 90 and Loop 410 found human remains. They were identified as Turegano's nearly one year later, July 29, 1987.

"The remains did not have a skull and to this day, the skull has not been located," police said.

SAPD's Cold Case Squad is still investigating the crime.
