Remains found in 2020 have been identified as those of a Houston-area teenager. The identification was made possible through advanced DNA testing. The teenager, Kristen Galvan, had been missing since being trafficked.

Standard DNA testing initially failed to yield a match, prompting the Texas AG's Cold Case Unit to use forensic genealogy. Further details about the case are available from the source, including the circumstances surrounding Galvan's disappearance and the investigation that followed. The use of advanced DNA testing and forensic genealogy led to the identification of the remains, bringing closure to the case.
