Hey Goode People!😊😊
Police continue to search Thursday for the person who sexually assaulted and killed an 11-year-old girl before placing her body underneath her bed in her family's suburban Houston apartment.
Police in the Houston suburb said Maria Gonzalez had been home alone at around 10 a.m. on Saturday when someone knocked at her front door.
The girl texted her father, Carmelo Gonzalez, 32, who had just gone to work. Carmelo Gonzalez said he told his daughter not to answer the front door.
Maria said she wouldn't and would stay in her bed. Carmelo Gonzalez said it was the last communication he received from his daughter.
On his lunch break around 1 p.m., Carmelo Gonzalez asked his brother and sister-in-law, who live in the same apartment complex, to check on his daughter.
The girl's aunt and uncle found the front door unlocked and when they went inside, they found things were out of place. They looked around but could not find her. The aunt and uncle then began looking for her in the apartment complex.
When Carmelo Gonzalez returned home around 3 p.m., he searched the apartment and found his daughter underneath her bed. Her body was wrapped in a trash bag and placed inside a laundry basket. Police said the girl had been strangled to death.
Maria Gonzalez and her father had been living in the U.S. for about four years after immigrating from Guatemala. They had been living in the apartment for about three months. They had previously lived in Austin and in Florida. The girl's mother and 7-year-old sister live in Guatemala.
Their apartment complex has a large Guatemalan population and because some are in the U.S. without legal permission, they have been reluctant to cooperate with police.
There are no suspects or arrests in the matter.
