Remains Believed To Be Missing College Station Toddler Found

COLLEGE STATION, TX -- The College Station Police Department (CSPD), along with numerous other local, state and federal agencies, found human remains believed to belong to Hazana Anderson, a missing 2-year-old girl. The remains were found Wednesday afternoon in the greater Houston area, CSPD wrote in a news release on Facebook. Efforts to identify the remains are underway and could take several weeks.

CSPD also found clothes belonging to Anderson, who has been missing since Sunday. The clothes were found in a trash bin in a bag along with an object police declined to identify, KBTX-TV reported.

The department arrested Tiaundra Kae Christon, the child's 21-year-old mother, and charged her with making a false report and abandoning/endangering her daughter Hazana Anderson, CSPD wrote on Facebook Monday morning.

Police also said they found evidence that Christon handled the bag the clothes and object were found in, The Eagle reported.

"Investigators with the College Station Police Department, while interviewing Miss Christon, discovered that she was not providing truthful information regarding the incident," CSPD wrote on Facebook Monday morning. "In addition, the charge of 'Abandoning/ Endangering a Child' was due to Miss Christon placing the child in an environment, 'near a body of water' that posed a potential risk to the safety of the child."

Christon told police that Hazana Anderson went missing Sunday while the two were at Gabbard Park at around 8:00 a.m., Lt. Craig Anderson, spokesman for CSPD, told Patch. Hazana Anderson is described as about 3 feet tall, weighs 28 pounds and has black hair, brown eyes, and a birthmark near her big toe on her left foot.

Christon initially told police that her daughter was snatched from her stroller when she had left to get a bottle from her car.

Anyone with information is being asked to call CSPD at 979-764-3600.
