College Station mother of missing child and boyfriend charged with intent to impair a human corpse

The mother of the 2-year old child reported missing on Sunday in College Station and the mother’s boyfriend have been charged with fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, records show.

Tiaundra Kae Christon, 21, the girl’s mother, and her boyfriend, Kenny Hewett, 32, were both charged in Galveston County after a warrant was issued in custody in Brazos County Jail for charged with child endangerment and filing a false report to police. She is being held in the Brazos County Jail on $750,000 bond and he is being held in Galveston County on $500,000.

Law enforcement officials announced Wednesday night they had recovered the body of a small child near State Highway 146 in Texas City.

It was not immediately clear whether the child was the 2-year-old who the College Station Police Department has been searching for and was reported missing Sunday morning.

College Station Police Chief Scott McCollum told reporters at a Wednesday evening press conference in College Station that his department had been working with Houston investigators to find the remains of 2-year-old Hazana Anderson, reported missing Sunday, but would not confirm whether Anderson was the child found in Texas City.

“Efforts will continue to positively identify the remains and these efforts will take several weeks,” McCollum said.

The Texas Rangers (DPS), College Station Police Department, Bryan Police Department, and Galveston County Sheriff’s Office are working the case, according to DPS.

Hazana Anderson’s mother, who lives in Bryan, called College Station police at around 9 a.m. on Sunday to report Hazana missing. Christon reportedly told police she went to her vehicle to get a bottle for her daughter, then returned and found Hazana was no longer in her stroller.

Christon was arrested and accused of making false statements to police on Monday. Christon was charged with child endangerment and filing a false report to police. She has been in custody in the Brazos County Jail, with her bail set at $250,000 for the two charges.

Authorities had been asking for the public’s help with any information on the recent activity and/or travels of Tiandra Christon or her daughter.

Christon has been charged with child endangerment and false report to a police officer, according to reports of online jail records.

According to television reports earlier this week, police have been working with local, state and national agency to pursue any leads in locating the missing girl.

As police were searching Gabbard Park for the 2-year-old , they found clothing and an object in a black bag in a nearby dumpster, according to an affidavit. The clothes were the same ones that Hazana was reportedly wearing when she went missing.
