They entered the apartment and found Kristen deceased on the floor in her bedroom. It appeared that Kristen had just arrived home. She was partially nude and may have been sexually assaulted. Kristen had been strangled. Evidence indicated that someone had broken into her apartment before she arrived and waited for her. The Houston Police Department investigated extensively, but the case remains unsolved. Texas Rangers Unsolved Crimes Investigations joined with HPD to combine efforts to solve this case.
