Between 1978 and 1990, several murder victims were found along major highways in the US, in states including Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Many of the victims were unidentified for years, but they all had one thing in common: they were all redheads or had reddish-colored hair. Because of this detail, the series of murders became known as the redhead murders, but they all remain unsolved to this day; however, there are at least 5, likely many more, murders that may be connected and still sit unsolved.

In March 1995, a body was discovered in a fridge in an irrigation canal in northern California. Unfortunately, the female victim of the blunt force trauma homicide couldn’t be identified… and it remained that way for nearly 30 years.

Thankfully, her family finally knows what happened to her, but her case remains unsolved and she does not have justice. There is a $10,000 reward for any information leading to her killer’s arrest. Anyone with information about Mandy Deza's death or possible details about her murder can contact the sheriff’s office at (209) 468-5087 or by email at coldcase@sjgov.org.
