The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is calling for public aid to crack a 2022 cold case involving the brutal murder of Karla Terron, whose body was found on fire off State Route 99 in Bakersfield.

Officials confirmed that on a cold December morning, Terron's lifeless body was discovered engulfed in flames at the Hosking Road off-ramp; an autopsy later pinpointed multiple stab wounds as her death's cruel cause, her last breathing moments presumed to be at a San Fernando bar, as reported by the LASD - Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept Information Bureau.

Detectives have exhausted leads and now turn to citizens, believing someone holds the key to unmasking the perpetrator(s), the department making a plea for any tidbit via their Homicide Bureau's number at (323) 890-5500, or through "Crime Stoppers," which remains an anonymous avenue for those who prefer discretion, accessible through call or tech-friendly avenues like the mobile "P3 Tips" app.
