Two people who worked in the DA's office went missing or were found murdered, and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance were bizarre. This case is still talked about today in connection with other high-profile cases such as the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Ray Rivera's mysterious death leaves lingering questions, but evidence suggests he may have manually ejected the hard drive of his computer and thrown it into the river before he disappeared.
Authorities want to speak with Porter Stansberry, one of Ray's old friends and the one who put up the reward for information about his death. Stansberry is refusing to cooperate with the police investigation and has instructed his employees to do the same, but the medical examiner's refusal to call it a suicide suggests there may be more to the story.
The autopsy report shows that Rey Rivera had multiple injuries consistent with a fall from the roof of the Belvedere Hotel. However, the medical examiner estimates that Rey had been dead for at least a week before he was found, which adds to the mystery surrounding his death.
A witness, Lloyd Lee Welch, approached a security guard a few weeks after the disappearance of the Lyon sisters in 1975, informing him that he had seen a man talking to the girls. Years later, informants from prison started coming forward placing the man, Ray Molesky, at the scene of the crime.
In this podcast, the host discusses the murder theory of Rey Rivera's death. Although there is no substantial evidence to prove murder or rule out suicide, many believe that Rey stumbled upon something he was not supposed to, and that may have cost him his life.
