Police in Hollister say they are one step closer to solving the 2013 murder case of Michael Cortez. An abandoned silver 2007 G-M-C Sierra pickup truck was found in the area of Bolsa Road at Bloomfield Avenue, the same truck with the same license plate number police were searching for after Cortez was murdered. The truck was found to have belonged to the suspect in the case, Heriberto Onate Ramirez. Police believe it may have been used in the murder, and that recent work done on the truck is consistent to the damage reported during the homicide investigation.
