Speaker 1: twenty twenty, disappearing from her grandmother's residence in Spring. Texas.
Speaker 1: Investigator state that Galvan was a victim of human trafficking
Speaker 1: and had been rescued by law enforcement on Bissinette Street,
Speaker 1: an area notorious for child sex slavery, just weeks before
Speaker 1: she went missing a second time. Desperate to protect her
Speaker 1: child and fine proper care, Kristin's mother, Robin Corey, encountered
Speaker 1: severe obstacles while trying to locate a treatment facility equipped
Speaker 1: to deal with human trafficking trauma.
Speaker 2: So the holiday, you know, came, and you know, we
Speaker 2: were looking for facilities for human trafficking victims. There's ultimately
Speaker 2: zero in Houston or you have to pay fifteen hundred
Speaker 2: dollars a day for your child to get the treatment
Speaker 2: she deserves. And of course nobody works during the holidays,
Speaker 2: you know, everybody's so busy. And I have my victim
Speaker 2: child who you know, nights hair screaming, just she wasn't
Speaker 2: the same child, and I can virtually get no help.
Speaker 2: Christmas passes, and you know, you try taking the phone
Speaker 2: away from your fifteen year old. You know, it's their lifeline.
Speaker 2: They'd used it for school, and so we gave it back,
Speaker 2: and she was only allowed to have it, you know,
Speaker 2: in the kitchen where everybody could see her. And then
Speaker 2: we went to take my sister. My sister's a general
Speaker 2: in the army, and we went to take my sister
Speaker 2: back to Fort Hood after the holidays January first, and
Speaker 2: my dad was left there to watch. Kristen was gone
Speaker 2: that night.
Speaker 1: Following Kristin's second disappearance, Corey refused to wait on law enforcement,
Speaker 1: taking to the streets herself to search for her daughter.
Speaker 2: So when Kristen disappeared the second time, I didn't wait
Speaker 2: on police. I went out to Bissonette Street myself and
Speaker 2: scoured the streets of this net. I had a private
Speaker 2: investigator showed me the ins and outs of Businette Street.
Speaker 2: He told me, I don't normally take parents. I said,
Speaker 2: you're going to take me today. You're going to show
Speaker 2: me this net. You know, I grew up in Houston.
Speaker 2: I love Houston, but we're number one. We have the
Speaker 2: number one baseball team right go Asstros, but we are
Speaker 2: literally number one, and child sex slavery. Enough of the trafficking.
Speaker 2: This is slavery. So when I went out there, I
Speaker 2: was not expecting to find girl after girl and a
Speaker 2: line of cars waiting to buy these people.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven days after Galvan disappeared, partial human remains were
Speaker 1: discovered near a jogging trail in Missouri City on January
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, twenty twenty. In November twenty twenty two, Missouri

Speaker 1: Case and Missing Persons Unit. An autopsy in anthropological examination

Speaker 1: eighteen years old who died in a homicide. Authorities initially
Speaker 1: struggled because their remains condition prevented a standard DNA profile,
Speaker 1: but the Cold case unit worked with the University of
Speaker 1: North Texas to develop a mitochondrial DNA profile. Advanced forensic
Speaker 1: genetic genealogy testing by BODE Technology, Astria Forensics, the DOUGH Network,
Speaker 1: and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children neckmec
Speaker 1: finally confirmed her identity. Corey's advocacy for her daughter and
Speaker 1: others was recognized by Houston Mayor John Whitmyer and councilmember
Speaker 1: Mary Nan Huffman, declaring April twenty third, Kiki's Day. In
Speaker 1: a statement to neck Mech, Galvan's family shared that while
