Human Remains Found In Texas Identified As Woman Who Went Missing In 2014 After Being Kidnapped

Human remains found in Texas on Wednesday were identified as belonging to kidnapping victim Christina Morris, who has been missing since 2014, the Plano Police Department announced in a news conference Thursday.

The skeletal remains were found by a construction crew in an area where homes are being built in Anna, about 45 miles north of Dallas.

"The Collin County medical examiner's office has examined the recovered remains and this morning has positively identified the remains as those of Christina Morris," Plano Police Chief Gregory Rushin said.

While the Collin County Sheriff's Office previously said it would not have public comments until a positive identification was made by the medical examiner, law enforcement sources told FOX4 the remains were indeed from Morris.

"Today is bittersweet," Rushin continued, "as we return Christina to her family in our continuing effort to bring answers and perhaps some measure of peace to those who have been personally affected by her disappearance.
