Do you know who murdered Angela Desiree Kelly in 1979?
Angela Desiree Kelly, a high school senior from Pasadena, Texas, was tragically found murdered on March 28, 1979. A driver discovered her body along the curb in the 7800 block of Red Bluff Road, Pasadena, in the early morning hours. Angela had been strangled, and her hands were bound behind her back with electrical wire. Her appearance suggested she had been violently attacked, with signs of struggle evident from dirt stains on her clothing. At only 17 years old, Angela’s death shocked her community, leaving family and friends devastated by the loss and haunted by the unknown circumstances surrounding her death.

The Harris County Medical Examiner's Office quickly ruled her death a homicide, but despite an extensive investigation and numerous interviews, no suspect was identified. Detectives in the Pasadena area have continued to revisit the case over the years, with renewed interest sparked by advancements in DNA technology. Local media, such as ABC13, has also worked with law enforcement to highlight Angela’s case, hoping that a new lead might finally solve this long-standing mystery. Despite decades passing, Angela’s family continues to seek justice, holding onto hope that her killer will one day be identified and brought to account for the crime.
