<v Speaker 1>Crime Alart hourly update breaking crime news Now. I'm Sidney Silvoni.

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>A painful cold case mystery that spanned over six agonizing

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>years has finally brought heartbreaking answers to a Texas family.

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Human remains discovered along a Missouri city jogging trail back

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in January twenty twenty have been officially identified as fifteen

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>year old Kristin Galvan. According to reports from the Texas

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General's Office, the Houston area teenager vanished on January second,

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, disappearing from her grandmother's residence in Spring. Texas.

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Investigator state that Galvan was a victim of human trafficking

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and had been rescued by law enforcement on Bissinette Street,

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>an area notorious for child sex slavery, just weeks before

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>she went missing a second time. Desperate to protect her

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>child and fine proper care, Kristin's mother, Robin Corey, encountered

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>severe obstacles while trying to locate a treatment facility equipped

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to deal with human trafficking trauma.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>So the holiday, you know, came, and you know, we

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>were looking for facilities for human trafficking victims. There's ultimately

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>zero in Houston or you have to pay fifteen hundred

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>dollars a day for your child to get the treatment

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>she deserves. And of course nobody works during the holidays,

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, everybody's so busy. And I have my victim

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>child who you know, nights hair screaming, just she wasn't

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the same child, and I can virtually get no help.

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Christmas passes, and you know, you try taking the phone

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 2>away from your fifteen year old. You know, it's their lifeline.

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>They'd used it for school, and so we gave it back,

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and she was only allowed to have it, you know,

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>in the kitchen where everybody could see her. And then

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>we went to take my sister. My sister's a general

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>in the army, and we went to take my sister

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>back to Fort Hood after the holidays January first, and

0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>my dad was left there to watch. Kristen was gone

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that night.

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Following Kristin's second disappearance, Corey refused to wait on law enforcement,

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>taking to the streets herself to search for her daughter.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>So when Kristen disappeared the second time, I didn't wait

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 2>on police. I went out to Bissonette Street myself and

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>scoured the streets of this net. I had a private

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 2>investigator showed me the ins and outs of Businette Street.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>He told me, I don't normally take parents. I said,

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>you're going to take me today. You're going to show

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 2>me this net. You know, I grew up in Houston.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>I love Houston, but we're number one. We have the

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>number one baseball team right go Asstros, but we are

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>literally number one, and child sex slavery. Enough of the trafficking.

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 2>This is slavery. So when I went out there, I

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>was not expecting to find girl after girl and a

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>line of cars waiting to buy these people.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Twenty seven days after Galvan disappeared, partial human remains were

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>discovered near a jogging trail in Missouri City on January

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth, twenty twenty. In November twenty twenty two, Missouri

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>City Police requested help from the Texas Attorney General's Cold

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Case and Missing Persons Unit. An autopsy in anthropological examination

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>determined the remains belonged to a female between thirteen and

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>eighteen years old who died in a homicide. Authorities initially

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>struggled because their remains condition prevented a standard DNA profile,

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>but the Cold case unit worked with the University of

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>North Texas to develop a mitochondrial DNA profile. Advanced forensic

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>genetic genealogy testing by BODE Technology, Astria Forensics, the DOUGH Network,

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children neckmec

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>finally confirmed her identity. Corey's advocacy for her daughter and

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>others was recognized by Houston Mayor John Whitmyer and councilmember

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Mary Nan Huffman, declaring April twenty third, Kiki's Day. In

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a statement to neck Mech, Galvan's family shared that while

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>their hearts are shattered by on words, they are grateful

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Kristen will finally be home. Anyone with information is asked

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.560
