No description found

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police believe the man who stabbed a 7-year-old girl to death in a laundromat in 1988 was angry about a vending machine. All these years later, they still don't know that man's identity.

Jennifer Delgado was in a laundromat on the 100 block of Westoak Road with her mother on June 6, 1988. Police said the man walked into the store and went to the vending machine.
