Missing Rock Springs youth found murdered; reward offered

The body of a young man found near Rock Springs on August 19th has been officially confirmed to be that of missing Rock Springs youth, 17 year old Rigoberto Alvarado, Jr. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that Alvarado was first reported missing to the Rock Springs Police Department on July 30th. 






Investigators say that Alvarado sustained a range of injuries, but declined to describe them because the exact cause of death has yet to be determined.  The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office and the Rock Springs Police Department are conducting a joint investigation. 






Officials confirm that the focus of the investigation at this stage is on tracking Alvarado’s movements, particularly on July 29th, when he left the family’s apartment in west Rock Springs at about 8:30 PM.  When he did not return home that night, his father contacted the Police Department the next day.






Those numbers again are 307-389-0264 or 307-350-4010. Officials say any calls will be handled with discretion.
