Patricia Alatorre

Patricia Jocelyn "Patty" Alatorre (May 14, 2007 – July 2, 2020) was a teen from Bakersfield, California who was raped and murdered by Armando Cruz after disappearing on July 1, 2020. Cruz and Alatorre had linked up through social media and sent explicit photos of themselves, with Cruz convincing Alatorre to meet up on two separate occasions. On the second meeting, Cruz strangled Alatorre while raping her until her death, having sex with the body before burning it. Cruz was later arrested after police found a white pick up truck similar to the one used during the kidnapping. Alatorre's rape and death has been described by the Bakersfield Police Department as one of the worst missing children cases they have ever had.
