California True Crime

In May of 2002, a pregnant Evelyn and her 5 year old son Alex Hernandez went missing from the Amazon-Crocker neighborhood of San Francisco. Initially not considered a serious case everything changed when a month later her wallet was turned in to police after being found in a ditch in South San Francisco. In July of 2002, part of Evelyn’s body was found near the Bay Bridge and police opened a homicide case. Though Alex has never been found, he and his unborn brother are considered both deceased by SFPD. We talk about the details of the murder, the lack of media attention and attempt to spread the word in this 18 year old cold case.
