SF Bay Area: Search for fifth body in Efren Valdemoro case (photos, video)
PITTSBURG, CA -- The search continues for the fifth victim in the Efren Valdemoro murders. This time the search is for 35yr old Frederick Sales, son of the murdered Ricardo Sales, whose body was found in his bedroom of the home he lived in with Cindy Tran as his landlady.

Police are looking for the body of Frederick Sales in the local dump, i.e. in an acre of trash at the Keller Canyon Landfill in Pittsburg. With 3,000 tons of debris to go through, that task can take a long time.
The search for Frederick Sales will continue, however, until either the body is found or every load of trash the bulldozer picks up has been searched through, says San Francisco station ABC 7 News.
Police believe that Efren Valdemoro murdered Frederick Sales and put his body in a trash bag. That bag would have ended up at the Hercules landfill.
Cindy Tran was the murdered girlfriend of Efren Valdemoro. Her body was found in the car when Valdemoro ended a high speed police chase at a shopping mall, Ranch 99, in Hercules last week.
It's believed Valdemoro went on a shooting rage out of jealousy. He believed that either one or both of the Sales' men were romancing his girlfriend Cindy Tran. It is believed that Valdemoro murdered both the Sales men and also murdered two other women, Marcaria Smart and Segundina Allen.
The bodies of those two murdered women were found in Segundina Allen's home, where Allen's husband Charles Rittenhouse was living at the time. Rittenhouse himself was arrested and is in jail for having large amounts of explosives in his home.
This story is ongoing.

It's terrible what this man did.
So many murders, dreadful.
fI have heard that they still haven't found the body, the search goes on.
I wonder why they are searching there? Do they know for sure the body was in a trash bag?
Got something to say?
