A suspect wanted in the 1992 Alameda murder of Juliette Rivera eluded authorities and arrest for decades by assuming the identity of his brother and living for years as a transient, cold case investigators revealed Tuesday.
Fingerprint analysis of a transient, who died in January in Merced County, proved to be the final piece of evidence that allowed detectives to bring an end to the cold case stemming back to July 7, 1992.
On July, 17,1992, a farm worker in a rural area of unincorporated San Mateo County found the body of a badly decomposed young female near an irrigation pond. The body was later identified as that of Juliette Rivera. San Mateo County Sheriff's detectives also began investigating the case and determined Gregory Marc Riviera was the suspect in the slaying and issued an arrest warrant.
