On October 19, 2006, Elizabeth Leyba, a 30-year-old woman, was found dead in Naples, Florida. Her body was discovered wrapped in a blanket in a canal located at the west end of Lancewood Way. The Collier County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene, and they identified Elizabeth through her fingerprints. She also went by the name Angela Maria Cardenas, and her Florida driver’s license listed a previous address in Miami, though she had moved to Naples several years before her death.
The circumstances surrounding Elizabeth's death were suspicious, and the authorities have treated the case as a homicide. To this day, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains open. Crime Stoppers and the Collier County Sheriff's Department continue to seek public assistance in solving this case, and they have urged anyone with information to come forward. The case remains one of the many unsolved homicides in the Naples area, adding to the region's growing list of cold cases that have yet to be solved.
