The investigative efforts surrounding the 2010 murder of Yvette Martinez took a significant turn more than ten years later when authorities in California arrested her ex-boyfriend, Noel Aguilera Ledesma. Martinez's body was discovered in the trunk of her flaming car in Monterey County, which prompted an initial homicide ruling. Although Ledesma was a suspect during the early investigation, he was not charged until late 2022 when a cold case task force unearthed new evidence leading to his arrest in Yuma, Arizona, in early February 2023.
More than a decade after the homicide of Yvette Martinez, her ex-boyfriend Noel Aguilera Ledesma has been arrested, following the reopening of the cold case.
Investigations into the 2010 case progressed after a cold case task force uncovered new evidence, leading to the arrest warrant for Ledesma.
Martinez's body was discovered in the trunk of her burnt vehicle, and her death was initially ruled a homicide.
Anyone with further information related to the case is encouraged to contact the Monterey County District Attorney's office for assistance.
