Human remains found in a San Diego home prompt investigation linked to a 2020 cold case.

Human remains were found Tuesday at a Southcrest home on Newton Avenue after a search warrant was executed by the California Highway Patrol, FBI, and San Diego police, prompted by leads tied to a 2020 cold case. The investigation, led by the San Diego Police Homicide Unit, involves the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office to identify the remains and determine cause of death. Authorities are reviewing evidence from the property, including a crawl space and under the home, and have provided a stipend to current residents, sisters Judith Santos Gonzalez and Selena Estrada Gonzalez, who were not suspects. The case remains active, with officials urging the public to contact the Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers.
