Murder Trial Begins Monday (Dec. 14) in 16-Year-Old Hudspeth County Case
A murder trial begins Monday (Dec. 14) at the county courthouse in Sierra Blanca in the death of Todd Alan Cameron – almost 16 years after Cameron was reported missing from his home in a remote part of southeastern Hudspeth County. Robert Viera faces the murder charge.
Cameron lived in Wolf Creek Ranch, a development, similar to others in Hudspeth County, of 20-acre parcels of subdivided raw land, located near the Hudspeth-Culberson County line. Cameron was last seen alive on Jan. 15, 2000 in Van Horn. He was 35 at the time of his disappearance.
Cameron’s remains were uncovered by law enforcement in October 2013. According to law enforcement, Viera was also formerly a resident of Wolf Creek Ranch, and has been an intermittent Hudspeth County resident in the intervening years. The case is being tried in the court of 394th State District Judge Roy Ferguson.
Cameron’s death is one of only two Hudspeth County cases in which murder charges have been brought in the last two decades.
