The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the cold case homicide of Calvin Richard Day, whose skeletal remains were discovered in a rural area near Mokelumne Hill. The remains were found on March 29, 2021, and were later identified as belonging to Day, who had been residing in Tracy, CA. According to a Facebook post from the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office, Day was last seen alive on October 3, 2020, in Stockton, CA, before his untimely demise was ruled a homicide.
Authorities discovered Day's vehicle the next day, October 4, in the Weston Ranch subdivision of Stockton, abandoned and without a trace of its owner. In an ongoing effort to shed light on Day's final days, the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office has admitted that, despite extensive investigations, there still isn't a clear connection between Day and the location where he was ultimately found. In a statement obtained by the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office, "The investigation did not reveal a direct connection between Calvin and the location where his remains were discovered."
Law enforcement is calling on the public for assistance. Anyone with information related to the circumstances that led to Day's death or pertinent details that might link him to the secluded spot where he was buried is encouraged to step forward. The office emphasizes the availability of an Anonymous Tip Line for those who wish to contribute without revealing their identity.
