HOUSTON - An autopsy has revealed that a woman whose body was found in a southeast Houston field was strangled.

Invesigators found the body of Raquel Mundy at approximately 4 p.m. Friday in the 300 block of North St. Charles Street.

Police say Mundy, 24, was seen at 1:30 a.m. Thursday driving her mother and two children to the Greyhound Lines bus station in downtown Houston. Mundy had apparently parked the vehicle in a McDonald's restaurant parking lot where it had been towed from.

After Mundy had obtained her mother's debit card to pay for the tow bill, she tried to contact other relatives to get a ride but was not able to reach anyone, according to a statement released by the Houston Police Department on Monday.

Witnesses told investigators that Mundy was seen entering a gray car with a male. Mundy sent a text message to her mother that said she thought she was in danger and was with a Hispanic male.

Police ask anyone with information about Mundy's death to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-8477 (TIPS).

This is the scariest murder I have read in a long long time!!!!

I hope this is a priority case to solve.

This situation is most unfortunate, all she needed was a ride from a dangerous section of town.
Whenever somebody needs help think about the danger that could exist . People think it would never happen to me. Real danger exists , at 130 am nobody should really be outside.

I agree.
It's a shame.

This has not been solved yet has it?

It turns out this crime may have been commited by an inmate who was released after serving a long sentence. He might have also strangled that homeless woman at the church downtown.
I am a correctional officer an people call prison inhumane well how humane is it for the victims of
these crimes. The offender is alive an eats three times a day. what about raquel. wrong place .wrong time manipulated by an ex offender who put ona nice guy face so he could get pleasure out of murdering her. I have no sympathy . I deal with these people every day.

I'm sorry you have to deal with these people everyday. It would not surprise me if an ex inmate did this. Probably should have been locked up longer.
