In August 2005, 13-year-old Alexandra Anaya disappeared from her home in Hammond, Indiana, under suspicious circumstances. Despite initial assumptions of a runaway, the discovery of her torso in the Little Calumet River in Chicago, with signs of sexual assault, transformed the case into a homicide investigation. Alexandra's family faced ongoing trauma, exacerbated by the lack of closure as her limbs and head remained missing. Despite efforts by law enforcement, including the FBI's recent revival of the cold case, crucial details and her killer remain elusive. With her mother still seeking answers, authorities urge anyone with information to come forward, offering a doubled reward for assistance in bringing justice to Alexandra's memory.
