For nearly 25 years, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office couldn’t identify the body of a murder victim found wrapped in a tarp after apparently suffering from blunt force trauma. The body was in a state of advanced decomposition with much of the soft tissue missing. Sheriff's Office no longer has to refer to the victim as "John Doe" and can help bring closure to the victim’s family.
Eric P. Cupo was 22 years old when his body was found wrapped in a tarp near Bear Creek Road on Dec. 17, 1998. Three suspects were arrested and convicted in relation to the body, but the victim’s identity was unknown until recently. A woman with ties to the Bay Area was identified as the woman whose body was discovered nearly 27 years ago in a refrigerator in San Joaquin County.
"In 2021, the Santa Cruz Sheriff-Coroner’s Office, including the Sheriff’s Office Forensics Services team, began utilizing forensic genetic genealogy techniques to finally identify the decedent and make notification to next of kin," the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office announced in aCupo was born in California and was adopted as a young child.
"Eric Cupo’s adopted family and biological relatives have been notified of his identification and are grateful to the Sheriff’s Office for their dedicated and tireless investigation to identify Eric Cupo and bring resolution as to his whereabouts," the SC County Sheriff’s Office said.that I have read and agree
