A father found his 11-year-old daughter strangled to death under her bed in their Texas home on Saturday - as police remain stumped on the identity of the depraved killer. Police in Pasadena, Texas, responded to a call from the apartment complex around 3pm on Saturday - the caller said his daughter was not breathing. Paramedics pronounced the girl - identified as Maria Gonzalez - dead at the scene. Police say the girl's father, Carmelo Gonzalez, 32, had found her under a bed after returning home from work. She had been sexually assaulted and killed. Currently, police do not have any suspects and are begging the public to help in the investigation. Carmelo had left the apartment for work at about 10 a.m. and had been in communication with his daughter over the phone. Shortly after leaving, Carmelo said he received a message from Maria telling him someone had been knocking at the front door. On Tuesday, Pasadena Police Chief Josh Bruegger revealed Carmelo then called family members who resided in the same apartment complex to check on his daughter. Family members were not able to find her, according to authorities. That was until her dad came home and found his deceased child. 205 87 comments
