Thoughts? According to the San Diego County Cold Cases page, they mention that Victor Alcantara was only 10-years old when he was murdered. I'm wondering if that is actually a typo since 10-year old's are usually not involved in drugs. Also the only photo we have of Antonio Zavala is of poor quality so who knows what he would look like at 70-years old today if he is still alive.
