Nearly 48 years have passed since Guam police started the homicide investigation into the death of Dolores P. Diaz.
Diaz’s case was reported on Nov. 10, 1973.
Her mysterious death remains a mystery and is among the oldest of the 103 unsolved cases GPD has in its records.
GPD released a list of cold cases to The Guam Daily Post through a Freedom of Information Act request. Chief Stephen Ignacio has said his team is planning a walk through of cold case files.
The list provided includes multiple classifications such as 81 homicides, 10 dead persons, three deadly shootings, one murder, one aggravated murder, five missing persons, one expired person, and one injured person.
Kunai Kiosi
The latest case involves the May 31, 2020 homicide of Kunai Kiosi.
Two recently solved murders taken off the list include the 2017 disappearance and killing of Adam Messier, and the 2020 murder of Michael Castro.
Donavan Elliott Alianza Carriaga, Curtis James Blas, and Brandon James Flaherty are accused of allegedly beating Messier to death and disposing of his body in a ranch area in Yigo four years ago.
A witness alerted authorities to Messier's body on Oct. 26.
In the case of Michael Castro, GPD detectives learned that his remains were left in a container in a remote jungle area in Yigo on Oct. 27, more than a year after Castro went missing.
Troy Ryan Damian and Nicholas Wayne Moore have been charged in connection to Castro's murder.
Autopsies are pending for both victims.
