HOUSTON – Authorities were questioning two people Saturday night after an elderly woman was found beaten and strangled in her northwest Houston home.
Police said officers arrived at a home near the intersection of Candlemist and Marcella around 10:00 p.m. and found 86-year-old Mildred Johnson lying dead, face down on the floor.
Gary Thompson, the victim’s nephew, was the first to find Johnson. He said his aunt lived a long life and he was heartbroken by how she was killed.
"Her face looked like a pancake, like they stomped her," said Thompson. "Then, I saw the cord around her neck which told me someone had strangled her."
Family members said they did not see the woman’s car and noticed a bunch of her belongings were missing, including a flat screen TV.
