Mom of raped girl, 11, found dead under bed: 'I want justice'
Share this @internewscast.com

The devastated mother of an 11-year-old Texas girl whose body was left under her dad’s bed after she was raped has spoken out about the shocking crime – saying, “I don’t want to cry anymore … I want justice.”

Ana Elizabeth Xitumul Saput railed against the person who carried out the unspeakable crime against Maria, who had been home alone in Pasadena Saturday when she alerted her dad at work that someone was at the door.

“I don’t want to cry anymore, because I have a bad heart,” the grieving mom told Telemundo 47 from Guatemala, where she still lives with Maria’s younger sister.

“I want justice. I need her killer to turn himself in and I’m asking God that kind-hearted people help us bring our daughter’s remains back to Guatemala,” Saput said, adding that she just wants to see her daughter one final time.

“This person has no feelings. Don’t you have sisters, a mother?” she asked of the still-at-large killer.

Saput said she and her youngest daughter had stayed behind in Guatemala because of her heart issues. 

No suspects have been identified and Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

Maria’s dad Carmelo Gonzalez, 32, said he had recently arrived at work when Maria texted him at 10 a.m. Saturday that a stranger knocked at their door.

“I told her, ‘Don’t open the door because I am arriving at work,’ and she responded, ‘I am in my bed,’” the grieving dad said of the “good, quiet girl” who had only recently turned 11.

Maria’s aunt and uncle couldn’t find the girl when they checked the premises, but when the dad returned home five hours later, he discovered her lifeless body in a laundry basket under his bed.

“They left her under the bed in a plastic bag. They left my poor daughter,” Gonzalez, who lived alone with Maria, previously told Fox 26.

The girl had been raped, strangled and suffered blunt force trauma to the head, officials said.

The home showed no signs of forced entry, and the door was closed but unlocked when the aunt and uncle first checked the scene, Pasadena Police Chief Josh Bruegger told reporters.

Bruegger said that “at this point, the father’s alibi checks out, so he is — at this point, at least — not a suspect.”

The chief added that the killer likely knew that the little girl was home alone at the time.

“It seems awfully suspicious that dad leaves for work and within 30 minutes you’ve got somebody knocking at the door,” he said.
