A COMMUNITY was rocked by mystery after a father of two went missing.
Although the suspected murderer of Rosalio Gutierrez Jr. was brought to trial, his body was never found.
Who was Rosalio Gutierrez Jr?
Rosalio Gutierrez Jr, a father of two from Kenosha, Wisconsin, was born on April 10, 1980.
His close friends called him Junior or Pocho, the latter a childhood nickname given to him by his mother.
Gutierrez earned degrees in Criminal Justice and Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Selia Patterson, his mother, described him as “the best son a mother could ever wish for,” a “loving father,” and “a very good friend.”
The grieving mother also told Dateline: “He did so much for his children.
“He always had me cracking up. He was a very wonderful person.
“Most of all, he was a good human being and needed to be on this earth much longer than when he was taken.
“My son is not just missing. Someone somewhere knows something.”
What happened to Rosalio Gutierrez Jr?
Gutierrez Jr was last heard from on May 17, 2020.
He did not show up for work on May 18 and 19, so police went to his house to check on him.
Sadie Beacham, Gutierrez’s then-girlfriend, also paid him a visit.
Because his patio door was open, his house became a crime scene, and heavy blood stains were discovered on the floor, door, and furniture.
Anderson’s trial began on March 13, 2023, after he pled not guilty to all charges.
Gutierrez Jr. has not been found, and prosecutors believe he is dead.
