The father of an 11-year-old Texas girl whose strangled and sexually assaulted body was found underneath her bed on Saturday said she sent him an alarming message moments before her death.

Maria Gonzalez was found dead on Saturday. Her father, Carmelo Gonzalez, called police to report he found her body underneath her bed, wrapped inside a garbage bag and stuffed in a laundry basket

......

Brueggar said Gonzalez had received a text from his daughter shortly after he left for work on Saturday morning, telling him a stranger was knocking at the front door.

The message was the last time Gonzalez heard from his daughter

......

Concerned, Gonzalez asked family members who lived in the same apartment building to check on his daughter. However, they were unable to find her.

Gonzalez returned from work at around 3 p.m. to find his daughter dead. There was no sign of forced entry

......

Police have also confirmed the father’s alibi. They have yet to identify a potential suspect.
