The FBI is now offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect for the murder of Adrienne Celeste Salinas, who was 19 years old when she was found murdered in the summer of 2013. Below is the FBI flyer description of the case:
On June 14, 2013, Adrienne Celeste Salinas, a 19-year-old woman from Tempe, Arizona, attended a birthday party at her residence for a friend.
In the early morning hours of June 15, 2013, Salinas left the party and then returned, speaking briefly with a roommate. At about 4:00 a.m., Salinas was seen leaving the party again. A few minutes later, her vehicle was involved in a single-car accident a short distance from her residence. Salinas returned to her apartment unseen, changed clothes, and called a cab.
At around 5:00 a.m., Salinas sent a text message to her boyfriend stating she was going to his residence. Salinas then spoke with the cab driver, confirming that he was en route to pick her up at a convenience store in close proximity to her residence. Shortly thereafter the cab driver arrived and was unable to locate Salinas or reach her by phone.
Subsequent attempts to contact Salinas' phone went directly to voice mail. Salinas was reported missing on June 16, 2013 (Father's Day), after she was unable to be located by family and friends.
On August 6, 2013, two weeks after a substantial storm and flooding of the area, Salinas' remains were located in a desert wash basin behind a residence in Apache Junction, Arizona.
Thoughts? There isn't much else online in the way of possible clues. I did find a Facebook page dedicated to getting justice for Adrienne, and also a news report that suggests that initially her entire body wasn't found. The description is a little graphic but the link is here: www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/adrienne-salinas-entire-body-wasnt-found-6645041
In my opinion, the most mysterious part is she returned to her apartment after the single car accident. Was she abducted and then murdered when she left to wait for the cab? Was someone following her home from the party the entire night?
There are unfortunately more questions than answers, however, hopefully the FBI's $20,000 reward inspires someone to come forward.
