MILWAUKIE, Ore. - We are learning a lot more about the growing cast of characters who may be witnesses in the case of a Texas teen who was murdered in Milwaukie.

Detectives say there were possibly dozens of people who saw the 15-year-old murder victim, Dani Countryman, in the hours before she was strangled.

Countryman's body was found last weekend in an apartment at the Balboa Apartment Complex located at 2717 S.E. Courtney Road where a party had been taking place.

An autopsy showed she died of strangulation and police are now trying to piece together what happened from those who attended the party.

Investigators confirm they are talking to a neighbor who had earlier this week spoken exclusively to KATU News about what she saw the morning of the murder. She described seeing two men drag a person into an apartment.

A young man's claims on MySpace are being looked into as well.  A 21-year-old man who calls himself 'Tito' wrote that he had attended the party, had sexual relations with Countryman and when he woke up she was dead.

Detectives have also questioned tenants in the apartment where Countryman was found murdered.

"We just had a little get together," Jimmy Sowders, who rents the apartment in question, told KATU News on Monday.  "It wasn't anything big."

Sowders is not a suspect in the case and neither is 24-year-old Alejandro Rivera-Gamboa, who was at the apartment that night and was arrested on an unrelated charge.

Investigators have their work cut out for them and say this high profile case involves separating the truth from those who might just be seeking attention.

"Part of our investigative job is to separate the wheat from the chaff, the credible from the incredible," said Detective Jim Strovink with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
