Houston police say Elisabeth Mandala was last seen April 27, 2010 leaving her mother's home. Principal Troy Mooney, in a letter to parents, said Mandala died while traveling in Mexico for a weekend. The U.S. consulate in Monterrey, Mexico contacted Mandala's family after the 18-year-old's body was located in a crashed vehicle four days later.
Reports came from a small village in Mexico of the beaten body of a young, blond girl found in Dodge truck that had apparently smashed into another truck. Along with Elisabeth Mandala's broken body, authorities reported finding two dead Mexican citizens. Investigators believe the killers staged the wreck. A large rock had been placed on top of the gas pedal.
