She told her sister that she was going to the park around lunch time and left the family home in South Elgin, Illinois, on foot.

At 12:35 pm, shortly after leaving home, Kianna sent a text message to the acquaintance saying she was on her way to his house. No further text messages were ever sent from her phone, and it was disconnected from the cellular network at 1:10 pm.

On May 12, 2016, a neighbor who lived next door to the unidentified man told police that he found traces of blood on the lid of his garbage, about six days after Kianna Galvin’s disappearance.

The blood was sent for testing and was confirmed to be Kianna’s. The neighbor also told police that he witnessed Kianna going inside the man’s house, either on the day of her disappearance or the day before.

On November 8, 2016, authorities executed a search warrant on the home of a man living in the 800 block of Revere Road in connection with the disappearance of Kianna Galvin. No information was released disclosing what, if anything, was found as a result of that search.

Her family deserves to know where she is and what happened to her.
