Sad, but this one is like something in a TV script.

Detectives are investigating the mysterious death of a young NYPD criminalist who was found tied to her bed Monday morning with a knife stuck in her neck, police said.

The body of Michelle Lee, 24, was discovered by her roommate in their Sunnyside, Queens, apartment just after 8 a.m., police said.

It was unclear when she was killed, and her roommate, who had returned the night before, made the grisly discovery after sleeping all night in the next room.

Lee, a civilian NYPD employee, appeared to have been dead for a few days, police sources said.

She was tied to the bed and had been stabbed repeatedly, burned on her belly with an iron and strangled with the cord of a cell phone charger, sources said.

1. OMG- this is just horrible

I think this sounds very personal in the attack, and that it seemed to involve torture. I wonder what the connection with the ex-boyfriend with terminal cancer is...

Investigators are looking to interview a few of Lee's ex-boyfriends, including one former flame who is stricken with terminal cancer, the sources said.

I don't mean to be gross, but if she was dead for a few days in the apartment, and her roommate was also an NYPD employee, wouldn't they have noticed a certain odor? Believe me, its unmistakable.
