Henry Gutierrez Jr., a 71-year-old prominent businessman from Schertz, Texas, was known for his charisma, generosity, and success as a real estate mogul and former nightclub owner. Described as hardworking and deeply connected to his community, Henry was known for helping those in need and living with vibrancy. But on Christmas Eve 2015, his life was tragically cut short when he was found brutally murdered in the garage of his upscale home.
Discovered by his son, Henry’s death stunned the quiet town. Evidence suggested the crime was targeted, but the motive remained unclear. The violent nature of the attack pointed to a personal vendetta, yet years of investigation failed to identify suspects or answers. Despite his larger-than-life personality, Henry’s murder became an unsolved cold case, leaving his family heartbroken and his community searching for justice.
Eight years later, with Schertz Police forming a cold case unit and public appeals for information ongoing, the question lingers: Who killed Henry Gutierrez, and why?
Join Arlene & Leah on the anniversary of Box in the Basement as they discuss Henry's life, the theories, and the suspects and shed light on this mysterious cold case.
