Texas – Man Named Person Of Interest After Key Found Next To 11-Year-Old Girl’s Body.
Authorities are searching for a teen who lived in the same apartment building as an 11-year-old Texas girl after her body was found underneath her bed last week, police announced on Friday.
Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez, 18, has been identified as a person of interest in the killing of the girl, Maria Gonzalez.
The chief of the Pasadena police, Josh Bruegger, said at a press conference that investigators discovered a key inside Gonzalez’s apartment and learned that it opened Garcia-Rodriguez’s unit.Â
Gonzalez was found dead Saturday. Her father, Carmelo Gonzalez, called police to report that he’d discovered her body, which was wrapped inside a garbage bag and stuffed in a laundry basket.
Carmelo Gonzalez told officers that his daughter texted him shortly after he left for work, saying a stranger was knocking on the front door.
Concerned that the girl soon stopped responding, the father asked family members to check on her at the apartment, but they were unable to locate her.
