Mom Finds Little Teen Girl in Bathtub Dead, Still in PJ's

As Jacqueline Medina leaves for work, she wakes her daughter for cheer practice ahead of the Christmas parade planned for the afternoon. Jacqueline Medina arrives at the parade, excited to see her daughter perform, but Lizbeth is not with the rest of the cheerleaders in the parade. Friends confirm they hadn't seen Lizbeth, and she wasn't at school that day. Worried, Jacqueline heads straight home, calling her daughter repeatedly. The calls go straight to voicemail. When Medina gets home, the door is unlocked. Inside.. nothing seems out of place. In the bathroom, Jacqueline pulls back the shower curtain, finding Lizbeth unconscious.

The search for a suspect begins. Edna police release surveillance photos of a person and a vehicle of interest. The bearded male in the photo is wearing a black sweatshirt and seen driving a silver Ford Taurus. Two days later, Edna Police announce an arrest. The suspect is 23-year-old Rafael Govea Romero, an "undocumented" migrant thought to have been living in the USA for the last 5 years. He was captured about 75 miles north of Edna in Schulenburg, Texas, where he reportedly has family. Edna Police Chief Rick Boone says items missing from Lizbeth Medina's apartment were found in Romero's possession, and Romero confessed to the murder. Romero is now jailed on suspicion of capital murder.
