A Point Breeze resident was found dead and strangled in her bedroom Monday Oct. 11.
Her boyfriend Malik Moorer discovered her body. Police had few clues as to who committed the crime even a week later.
The victim is Stacey Blahnik, a 31-year-old woman who was formerly named Michael Lee.
Neighbors say that Blahnik was quiet. Her boyfriend suspects that the killer was someone that she knew and trusted.
"I lost everything. I lost a best friend -- a lover," Moorer said.
Investigators found no signs of forced entry. While Blahnik’s boyfriend has cooperated with police, no one else has come forward with information regarding who the killer could be.
"Not only did I have to find the body and deal with the death and deal with that I was a suspect at first," said Moorer.
Neighbors say that they saw nothing out of the ordinary during the night of Blahnik’s murder.
Aside from the strangulation, police have found no signs of struggle or assault.
Friends and family have created several on-line memorial pages as a tribute to Stacey.
