But authorities don’t have names to match to those DNA samples yet, Rivera said, and she called on the public to help solve the cold case killing. Winder noted that the body looked “hastily dumped” and whoever placed it there, almost 4 miles up the canyon, did not attempt to hide it. The state medical examiner determined that Reyes had died from blunt force trauma, but whether a weapon was involved was unclear. Unified police said they were investigating Reyes’ death as a homicide.
