Raquel Mundy, 24, a single mother of two young children, was found dead June 18, 2010, in a field at the dead end of 300 St. Charles in Houston. A homeless man discovered her body; the autopsy determined she had been strangled and showed signs of possible foul play. Police believe she may have been killed elsewhere and her body dumped at that location.

Events leading up to her death began the night before, when she dropped off her mother and her children at the downtown Greyhound bus station around 1:30 a.m. on June 17. Her car was towed from a nearby parking lot soon after, leaving her stranded. Witnesses said she was last seen getting into a gray car driven by a Hispanic male, and she later sent her mother two alarming text messages saying she felt in danger. Investigators noted similarities between Mundy’s killing and the strangulation deaths of two other women in downtown Houston around the same time, and DNA evidence was collected with results pending. The homicide investigation remains open.

Anyone with information about Raquel Mundy or her movements that night is asked to contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
