Eleven-year-old was sexually assaulted, murdered
Someone climbed through the bedroom window of an eleven-year-old girl, sexually assaulted her and murdered her on Halloween night, or early the next morning.
A late afternoon news conference on Wednesday revealed the disturbing details of 11-year-old Victoria Sandoval's murder in southwest Albuquerque.
Albuquerque police revealed that Victoria sexually assaulted and asphyxiated.
Victoria lived with her grandparents, who found her body shortly before dawn Tuesday at their home in the Rosewood Mobile Home Park.
Detectives are still on the hunt for her killer, but they do believe the little Victoria knew her killer.
Police say the grandparents, who are her legal guardians, didn't hear anything Monday night. It was the next morning when the grandmother tried to wake her up for school that Victoria&#

Police won't say specifically how the girl was asphyxiated. As for her killer, detectives say they have a number of leads but no one has been arrested or taken into custody.
Police say the Victoria had been out trick or treating Halloween night.
