Good morning Stephanie. Hi there George.
Good morning. The mother of a 16 year old high
school cheerleader says she was the one who made the
horrendous discovery of her daughter's murdered body in their apartment
and she's demanding answers.
This morning it's a murder mystery that has a tight
knit Texas community on edge and searching for answers.
16 year old female, not conscious mother is the caller
stating she is not conscious.
A manhunt is underway for a suspect authorities say killed
16 year old high school cheerleader Lizbeth Medina in the
small town of Edna outside of Houston.
My head is just spinning everywhere and I just.
I just want answers. I want justice.

No arrests have been made.
Authorities are referring to the case as capital murder.
She was a kind heart.
She would help anybody, even if she.

You took an Angel from me,
and not only from me,
from a lot of people who loved her.
And he will pay.
The Texas Penal Code describes a capital murder as a
murder committed in the course of another major crime and
is punishable by the death penalty or life in prison
guys. Police are still actively searching for a suspect.
Absolutely, Steph Ramos. Thank you.
