DNA has identified suspects in a 2016 cold case murder, but here's why there have been no arrests.
SALT LAKE CITY — A family made an emotional plea to the public Tuesday to help find those who killed their brother, Alejandro Reyes, almost six years ago.Angel was 17-years-old when he lost his older brother. Through tears, Reyes’s younger brothers, Edgar and Angel, gave their emotional plea to the public to find their brother’s killer. The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office held a briefing to bring the cold case back into the light.
Back on Oct. 5, 2016, a hiker in Butterfield Canyon found a body wrapped in heavy plastic. The medical examiner identified the 26-year-old Reyes as the victim, with detectives saying it appeared to be an extremely violent crime.Edgar said days before the family last heard from Alejandro, they invited him over to hang out, but he declined. His body was found four days later in a canyon he had no reason to be in.
“For him to be found up there, it’s just odd to us so to answer your question, he does not go up there,” said Edgar. The sheriff said it’s important to solve this case as whoever did this is still in our community, and has one of the department's best detectives working on the case.
