But more than 20 years later, no one has been charged, and her family is still searching for answers, her remains, and the person responsible.If you have any information in April’s case, please call the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department at (909) 387-3690.Editor: Shannon KeirceResearch/Writing: Haley GraySUBMIT A CASE HERE: Cases@DetectivePerspectivePod.com SOCIALInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/detperspective/Twitter: https://twitter.com/detperspectiveFIND DERRICK HERETwitter: https://twitter.com/DerrickLInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/DerrickLevasseurFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerrickVLevasseurCRIME WEEKLY AND COFFEECriminal Coffee Company: https://www.CriminalCoffeeCo.comCrime Weekly:  https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shopADS:1. https://www.Square.com/Go/Detective - Get up to $200 off Square hardware today!2.
