Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

A terrifying find by a Texas man cutting grass: a suitcase with baby clothes, pampers, and the remains of a little girl, inside.  Forensic testing identifies the girl as a 2 to 5-year-old. The tot's body is underdeveloped, and medical supplies with the body indicated she suffered from a serious medical condition. The remains were recovered in Texas, but pollen found on the belongings points to somewhere further west. The hope is that the pollen, medical equipment and sketches will help unravel who she is and what happened to her.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Irv Miller- Criminal Defense Attorney, The Miller Firm, Legal Analyst: CBS2 Chicago WBBM-TV and legal technical advisor to “THE GOOD WIFE” and “THE GOOD FIGHT”-CBS productions Dr. Carla Manly - Clinical Psychologist, Author of “Date Smart: Transform Your Relationships & Love Fearlessly”  Dorian Bond - Former Detective in Arizona, Private Detective and Owner of Bond Investigations Inc. in Dallas, TX, (largest African American-owned private investigative firm in the United States); Twitter:@bondinvestigate Dr. Tim Gallagher - Medical Examiner State of Florida; Lecturer, University of Florida Medical School Forensic Medicine; Founder/Host: International Forensic Medicine Death Investigation Conference   Daphne Young - National Chief Communications Officer, Child Help, Childhelp.org  William Johnson - Arizona KAGS News Anchor; Twitter: @Willjohnsonnews See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kristen Galvan was a typical 15-year-old girl, a good student, in JROTC and on the drill team.  Then, Galvan began a relationship with a 17-year-old boy. That boy, Galvan's mom says, was a recruiter for a sex trafficking ring. Galvan ran away with her boyfriend. She was found by police turning tricks on a notorious Houston street. After Galvan was rescued, she told her mom about the threats made against the family. As her recovery continued, Galvan earned cellphone privileges again. During a holiday trip with family, Galvan disappeared. Robin Cory says her daughter, missing three years now, has been trafficked again.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Robyn Cory- Victim's Mother; Facebook: Justice for Kristen Marie; YouTube: Justice For Kristen Neama Rahmani - Former Federal Prosecutor-turned-Trial Attorney; Author: “Harvard to Hashtag;" INSTAGRAM: @Neamarahmani, TWITTER: @NeamaRahmani  Dr. John Delatorre - Licensed Psychologist and Mediator (specializing in forensic psychology); Psychological Consultant to Project Absentis (a nonprofit organization that searches for missing persons); Twitter, IG, and TikTok: @drjohndelatorre  Betty Simons - Family's Pro-bono Private Investigator and Founder & CEO of Valor Investigations and Co-Founder of NMA (a nonprofit focused on the recovery of missing and exploited children); IG: valor_investigations Kaitlin Monte - Journalist, Houston, TX; Twitter: @kaitlinmonte  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the bombshell pieces of evidence in the Bryan Kohberger murder case is the fact that Kohberger's DNA is a "statistical match" to DNA found on a knife sheath at the scene. Investigators found the Ka-Bar knife sheath "face down and partially under both Madison's body and the comforter on the bed."     A probable cause affidavit unsealed in January stated that the DNA found had been matched to Kohberger’s father.  The elder Kohberger's DNA was recovered from trash outside the family home.   A short tandem repeat (STR) analysis was performed to develop a profile.  That profile was compared against material from  Kohberger’s cheek swab.   The result of the comparison is a statistical match—meaning the profile   is at least 5.37 octillion times more likely to be from Kohberger rather than an unrelated random person.   The prosecutors have argued for sealing information related to the use of investigative genetic genealogy. Court documents state that is needed to protect from disclosure "the names and personal information of the hundreds of innocent relatives on the family tree, the names of the publicly available genetic genealogy services used, and certain other information." Hear the arguments made by both legal teams. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
