Miami Beach police detectives are working to solve a gruesome murder mystery that's more than a decade old. The woman was found strangled to death in a duffle bag. Investigators say the killer went to great lengths to keep her body under water...

On January 2nd, 2004, boaters on the Indian Creek Waterway near 43rd street discovered a floating black duffle bag. Police say when they opened it, there was a decomposed body.

"It was a very brutal death. She was strangled, sexually assaulted. It's a pretty significant violent homicide," added Morgalo.

Poor woman....I can only imagine how she ended up there. Husband probably.

Possibly, but the fact that she was sexually assaulted throws me off. You don't usually see that in domestic violence murders, I think.

It happens, but it's a lot less common, it seems. This one seems more like a stranger-stalker type of crime.
