Kristen Galvan was only 15 years old when she vanished on January 2nd, 2020. She was last seen at her grandmother's home in Spring, Texas. Kristen left the home on the day of her disappearance and never returned. She was never seen alive by her loved ones again.
Despite the fact that Kristen left on her own accord, her loved ones immediately began to worry for her safety. Kristen's family members began to suspect that she had been sold into trafficking by an older boy whom she had been hanging out with prior to her disappearance. That boy was later identified as Aryion Jackson - a Houston-based rapper who used the stage name Yung Corleon.
Kristen actually vanished with Jackson prior to January of 2020. During this time, Kristen's family learned that Jackson was also a pimp who had sex trafficked over a dozen girls and young women, including Kristen, at a house on Bissonnet Street. Kristen was at the house for about a week and a half before she was rescued. Unfortunately, she vanished again two and a half weeks later.
Over the following years since this second disappearance, several leads were followed in an attempt to locate Kristen. Little did the family know, Kristen's remains had actually been found just weeks after she vanished. On January 29th, 2020, female human remains were found in Missouri City, Texas. Investigators were unable to identify the remains and subsequently labeled the unidentified female as "Jane Doe".
It took several years, but during the summer of 2025, the human remains were finally identified as that of Kristen Galvan. After the remains were identified, investigators revealed that they believe Kristen was bound with duct tape before being stabbed to death.
Kristen was a victim of murder, and her killer(s) have still yet to be apprehended. However, in the years that Kristen was murdered, many theories were investigated - from Kristen being trafficked in Atlanta, to someone claiming to be Kristen messaging a private investigator working the case. Now that it's known that Kristen has been deceased since 2020, many other questions have arisen...such as, who impersonated Kristen in 2021, and why? Why did it take so long for Kristen's remains to be identified? And perhaps the most haunting question: who killed Kristen?
Bissonnet Street.
As previously noted, Kristen was rescued from a house on Bissonnet Street just two and a half weeks before her January 2020 disappearance. When she vanished for a second time, her family inevitably wanted to investigate both the house and Aryion Jackson.
Kristen's family went to Bissonnet Street to search, but they saw no signs of her. Jackson was questioned, but he claimed that he did not have any knowledge of Kristen's whereabouts. In fact, he denied knowing Kristen altogether. Jackson was later sentenced to 27 years in prison after pleading guilty to sex trafficking minors with force, fraud or coercion.

Jackson has not been charged with anything related to Kristen's current case.
The Atlanta lead.
During the spring of 2021, authorities publicly announced that they, too, believe that Kristen is a victim of sex trafficking. In fact, people have reported that they've seen Kristen's picture on a website that is well-known for prostitution. Rumors also began to swirl that Kristen was being trafficked in Atlanta.
A private investigator hired by Kristen's family traveled to Atlanta to follow these leads. She reportedly found some of the girls listed on the website, but she was unable to find Kristen.
Latasha's testimony.
That same month, the private investigator was contacted by a woman named Latasha who claimed to have been held against her will and trafficked out of the same Atlanta house as Kristen. She mentioned that Kristen was pregnant at the time. Latasha said that she managed to escape from the traffickers and felt guilty about leaving Kristen behind.
The private investigator noted that Latasha provided information about Kristen that "nobody else would have known". However, Latasha later spoke to the FBI, and her testimony was deemed as not credible.
The baby.
At an unknown date in the spring/summer of 2021, the private investigator received a Facebook message from a person claiming to be Kristen. The messages said that she had borrowed a phone from a man who "did not know the rules". The message also said that she had just given birth in a Port-a-Potty and was forced to leave the baby behind, and she wanted her mom to go get the baby.
On June 3rd, 2021, a deceased infant was found in a Port-a-Potty in Houston, umbilical cord still attached. A test was requested to see if the baby's DNA was a match to Kristen's DNA. Four months later, the private investigator received a text saying that the DNA was not a match.
Other remaining questions.
Although the DNA from the deceased infant was reportedly not a match to Kristen, it seems odd that the private investigator never received the requested documentation with the DNA results. It also seems suspicious that the private investigator received a message that Kristen had given birth in a port-a-potty, and then a deceased infant was found in one. It's possible that someone was pretending to be Kristen - but who? And why?
The private investigator tried to get in touch with Latasha at a later date and learned that Latasha had passed away. She messaged some people on Latasha's Facebook friend list to see what happened. She was told by a friend that she was murdered, but Latasha's mother said that she had suffered an aneurism.
The unidentified remains.
As previously noted, female human remains were found in Missouri County, Texas on January 29th, 2020 - just weeks after Kristen's disappearance. Investigators were unable to make an identification and labeled the deceased as a Jane Doe.
Kristen's mother reportedly learned about said human remains during 2022, when she came across the Jane Doe's (now-deleted) NamUs profile. She subsequently asked law enforcement to test the remains' DNA to see if the body belonged to Kristen. The law enforcement officers working the case reportedly told Kristen's mother that they did not believe the remains belonged to Kristen. DNA was not tested at that time.
July 2025: DNA is finally tested.
In July 2025, Kristen's mother finally provided a DNA sample to be compared to the unidentified remains. The following month, Kristen's mother was notified that the DNA had been a match; the remains did, in fact, belong to Kristen Galvan. At that point, it was confirmed that Kristen had been a victim of murder of five years earlier.
No arrests have been made for Kristen's murder. The case is still ongoing. Anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of Kristen's killer(s) is asked to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 936-760-5800.
