COLD CASE FILE #24 1996 - UNSOLVED MURDER Date Posted: February 11, 2007 |
|
Victim: William R. Almanzar, Age 35. Location: Inside his apartment at Sheffield Court, Reading, PA. Date/Time Incident Discovered/Occurred: June 17, 1996. Synopsis: Reading Police is investigating the death of William R. Almanzar, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, who lived with a woman and her two children. Almanzar was found inside his Sheffield Court Apartment after police received a call at about 10:45 a.m. from a woman who said she believed Almanzar was dead inside. Officers met the woman outside the locked apartment. After forcing open the door, police found Almanzar lying face down and wearing only a pair of shorts. The first floor of the apartment was ransacked, but it was unknown if anything was taken. Police said that Almanzar's death was probably drug related. The apartment seemed to generate an unusual amount of traffic, both vehicles and pedestrians, which is consistent with reports that he sold illegal drugs from his residence. Investigators are hoping that more than a decade later, people may be more willing to talk to police.

The gunman was described as a dark-skinned male in his late teens to early 20's with a crew cut, baggy jeans and a white T-shirt. Police
