1. Roseville detectives break train-hopper cold case
To outside observers, it was a homicide file that looked nearly impossible to solve — an unidentified body found in a field, allegedly murdered by unknown, transient rail-riders who were scattered across the nation by the time police discovered their victim. But Roseville homicide detectives continued to keep the investigation in the public view, and at the end of March the Press Tribune broke the story that police had started a series of arrests in New Mexico, Nebraska and Washington. There are currently four suspects awaiting trial on first degree murder charges. The story began the year before, when police were called to a weedy creekside off PFE road. It was May 15, 2013 and investigators were getting their first look at a victim who would later be identified as 19-year-old John Alpert of Palmdale. A forensic autopsy determined that Alpert had been bludgeoned to death. Roseville police knew the crime scene to be a common campsite for train-hoppers. Working with Roseville police officer Dave Flood, the department’s expert on transients, homicide detectives developed suspects within the underground train-hopping world and began to track them. While many details of the investigation are still sealed, murder warrants were obtained for Edward Anauo, Jewls Carrillo and Laura Kenner. In March of this year, all three were captured. Investigators then obtained a fourth murder warrant for Charity Williams, who was apprehended in July. All four suspects have obtained defense attorneys and are being held on a no bail status in the Placer County Jail.
