SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - The Santa Barbara County Sheriff s Office says it is reopening a 45-year-old homicide cold case.
On Tuesday the sheriff s office announced detectives were investigating the death of 16-year-old Paul Ornelas who was found dead in the Goleta area nearly 45 years ago.
Ornelas body was found near the railroad track at the Turnpike Road overpass on June 21, 1975. His death was quickly ruled a homicide, but after several years of investigation, the case went cold with no suspects ever being brought into custody.
