Edelbuerto Gonzalez-Andujar, a transgender woman who went by Amanda, was found dead in her ransacked Ridgewood apartment yesterday afternoon. Around 4 p.m. acquaintances came looking for the 29-year-old, only to find her naked and lifeless on the bed. "Everything in the apartment was destroyed. All her Marilyn Monroe pictures were destroyed," Barbara Vega told the Daily News, adding that she'd been trying to reach her friend since Friday. Gonzalez-Andujar had been stabbed several times in the neck and chest; the Times reports that her laptop was missing from the apartment, but so far cops aren't sure whether there was a break-in and don't have any suspects. "She never had any problems with anybody...We need to know who did this to her," said Vega.
