Source: Miami-Dade Cold Cases 1990 - 1999
Case # 62727-K
Victim: Kristen Gray, W/F/8
Occurred: The victim was last seen roller-skating on the second floor balcony of 7487 SW 82 Street Miami, Florida on February 3, 1990, between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Narrative: The victim's body was discovered at approximately 8:30 a.m., on February 4, 1990, in the C-102 canal which is located at SW 107 Avenue and just north of SW 268 Street (Moody Drive).
This precious girl was spending the day with her step-father at the Dadeland Capri condo complex near Dadeland Mall in suburban Miami (known as Kendall if you're familiar with the area). Kristen's mom was at home taking care of a newborn son. She and the baby's father had recently divorced but were on amicable terms, and he had been a father figure to Kristen since she was very young. While the step-father was doing laundry, Kristen was trying out her new roller skates in the Dadeland Capri hallway. The complex is not very big, it has maybe 3 floors. At around 3 or 4 pm, the step-father realized that Kristen was missing. Friends and neighbors immediately began searching and the police were called. Tragically, the little girl was found face-down in a Homestead canal the next morning by a fisherman. She had been strangled. The location was about 20 miles south from where she had gone missing.
AFAIK, there have never been any suspects or persons of interest. At least none have been shared with the public.

The Miami-Dade Police Department published a re-enactment video to hopefully generate leads/jog memories.
