Man Arrested For Killing 11-Year-Old Girl Found Beneath Father’s Bed

TEXAS- Police have arrested a man in connection to the death of an 11-year-old who was found dead underneath her father’s bed.

Juan Carlos Garcias-Rodriguez, 18, was arrested and charged with the girl’s murder, the Pasadena Police Department announced on Saturday.

Maria Gonzelez’s body was found by her father stuffed inside of a garbage bag beneath his bed last week after she texted him that a strange man was at their door.

Police say Gonzelez was strangled and sexually assaulted.

Garcias-Rodriguez was questioned by police but fled to Louisiana where he was arrested and gave a “full confession”, police said.

A key belonging to Garcias-Rodriguez was left at the crime scene and was a crucial piece of evidence.
