Cassandra was strangled. Her body was found in her bath.
On Aug. 25, 2003, the lifeless body of 32-year-old Cassandra Do was discovered in the bathtub of her apartment on Gloucester Street in Toronto.
Police later determined that Do, a transgender woman believed to be working in the sex-trade, had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death.
During the course of their investigation, detectives discovered that the young woman, who also went by the name "Tula," was scheduled to meet with a client on the day she was killed and it is believed the person who murdered her left behind DNA evidence stemming from the sex assault.
Police say the national DNA databank was unable to pull up a name but the forensic evidence was linked to another sexual assault from 1997.
Despite securing a suspect description from the surviving victim of that 1997 attack, police were ultimately unable to identify the man they believed to be responsible for both crimes.
