An investigation into a cold case is being revived by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. On November 21, 1976, 83-year-old Estelle Pike was discovered dead in her bed at a care home in the Castro Valley. A homicide was eventually found to have caused her death.
A recent social media post by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office looking for new leads brought up details about the case. Witnesses said they saw an unidentified person near the scene of Pike’s death. He was described as a white adolescent between the ages of 16 and 17, about 5’7″, slender, and with light brown, curly hair. This person is still a person of interest in the case even if it was thought that they might be drunk or under the influence of a controlled substance.
