Cold Case Spotlight

On November 27, 1996, 29-year-old Kristen Wilson was attacked and strangled in her own home by an unknown intruder. She had just finished unloading groceries after a trip to the store when she was ambushed in her southwest Houston apartment. Wilson's parents found her body the next morning. There were no signs of forced entry but the door was unlocked and the victim was nude from the waist down. Investigators believe Wilson fought with her attacker, who may have raped her. If you have any information about the 1996 murder of Kristen Wilson, you are asked to please contact the Houston Police Department Cold Case Unit at (713) 308-3600 or, to remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a reward up to $5,000, contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
