The investigation into her death is being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department as a homicide.

As the investigation continues, Lorraine Bird’s son Steve Robles has announced a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a suspect in her death.
Z107.7 spoke with Robles, who said “I’m hoping that somebody has some kind of information that would aid assist the detectives that are working on my mom’s case right now. If there’s anything that may have been overlooked, maybe this is the time to offer a reward if, if that helps their investigation. I’m putting up a reward of $10,000 of my own money.”
