Sayda Reyes, a 24-year-old woman from Houston, Texas, was found dead in her apartment at 10402 Sandpiper, on October 1, 2010. Family members, who had reported her missing a few days prior, discovered her body early in the morning. The police arrived at the scene at around 12:50 a.m., and an investigation into her death was launched. The Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division took the lead in the investigation, but details about her cause of death were pending the results of an autopsy by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences at that time.
Despite efforts by the police and the involvement of the Homicide Division, the case of Sayda Reyes remains unsolved. The circumstances of her death led the case to be reviewed by the Cold Case Squad of the Houston Police Department, which was formed to address the numerous unsolved homicide cases still pending within the department's files. The Cold Case Squad aims to bring closure to families like that of Sayda Reyes by using new leads or evidence that may come to light over time.
The murder of Sayda Reyes is one of many homicides in Houston that still await justice, and the local authorities continue to request public assistance to help solve such cases. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers or the Houston Police Department in hopes of providing answers to the grieving family.
