On December 23, 1977, the body of Elizabeth Heidt was discovered in a drainage culvert near a turn out on Highway 94 one mile east of Steele Canyon Road, in Jamul. The detectives who conducted the preliminary investigation determined Heidt was murdered.

Although an extensive investigation was conducted, investigators never developed enough evidence to make an arrest. As the case remains unsolved, Cold Case detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Elizabeth Heidt. However, detectives still need the public’s help to identify the suspect or suspects.
