Police were seen this week digging and searching for a body, believed to be buried under the parking lot of a Los Gatos strip mall and which dates back to a cold case homicide.
The search began Monday afternoon, witnesses said, and resumed on Tuesday, with a large police pressence and K-9 units sniffing out a possible scent.
On Tuesday morning, there was a tent set up outside of Gardino’s Italian Restaurant on Santa Cruz Avenue. The actual digging site is behind the Site for Sore Eyes store front.
The site looked well established, with a police car, a white truck, chairs, mounds of dirt and plenty of Lowe's buckets on hand.
Sgt. Enrique Garcia would not say what case the San Jose Police Department’s Homicide Unit was following up on, only that it was a "cold case homicide" in the 100 block of N. Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos. He said he is not sharing anything else to "protect the integrity of the active investigation."
A law enforcement source told KTVU the case dated back to the 1980s.
Neighbor Carol Sandman said that the possibility of finding someone murdered underground was hard to digest.
Her children went to school nearby and "to think that something nefarious happened a few steps away is very concerning."
Northern California....Los Gatos is to the west of San Jose
Well that begs a second question.
Never watched the Sopranos.
I do not watch TV or movies that glorify evil................
I thought of it more like a morality play. And having grown up in Cleveland, I was very aware of how this stuff happened.

Hoffa?
Been through there often.
Next they can look for Jimmy Hoffa in Rutherford,NJ.
IIRC there’s some serious,serious $$$ in Los Gatos...you wouldn’t think that strip malls would be allowed in such a place.
The town is called “Los Gatos.”
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to suggest Hoffa. 15! We’re slipping! ;-)
It’s not a strip mall. The media messed up.
Did they use ground piercing radar?
I like Gardino’s...
There use to be cougars there but, the younger gals have moved in on their territory...
Dude!
We live right next to each other.
We should meet at Big Basin Burger some time...
I been sick lately................
“I have an alibi.”
I’ll verify he was wearing a dress at a truck stop 40 miles away that day.
“I remember when my dad told me she was dead. I didn’t believe it,” said Wendy Rose, now 44. “I wanted to go to the hospital to check on her. I was sure she was there.”The article said she was nine years old in 1979 when her mother was murdered, that means she is fifty years old now.
I’ll never understand how they can look at a word like Leicester and pronounce it Lester.
