Catalina Lechuga, 39, was found dead in a field near Rose Avenue and Delaware Avenue in Collier County on September 13, 2003. A witness flagged down a deputy, and investigators determined she had died of multiple stab wounds. The scene suggested a violent attack, but limited evidence has hampered the investigation.

Her last known address was in Immokalee; no details are available about her movements immediately before the killing. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office, Detective Thom Cullen, Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers and local partners have publicly appealed for information and released a video featuring Catalina’s daughters to keep the case in the public eye. Even small tips are being sought to help break this unsolved homicide.

If anyone knew Catalina, saw anything in the Rose Avenue and Delaware Avenue area on or around September 13, 2003, or has information related to this case, please come forward.
