Investigators say a VHS tape showing the crime scene after Sylvia Salinas was murdered is the only remaining evidence in the case.
On Halloween day 1989, a Galveston woman was robbed and stabbed to death in her own grocery store. Decades later, detectives are re-evaluating old evidence after we brought this story back into the spotlight.
"This is the murder weapon," said Detective Michelle Sollenberger with the Galveston Police Department, pointing to the video screen. A bloody knife is seen sitting next to a cash register."This video is the only evidence we have left in the case," Sollennerger said."I was super surprised to see the VHS tape still existed," said Sollenberger.
"There's no indication she tried to protect herself," Sollenberger said. "Everything kind of points back to somebody that she knew. Either a regular customer or personal acquaintance.""She would not let anybody behind that counter, unless she knew that person and felt comfortable with that person" said Derlis.
