A little unidentified murdered girl was found on a remote sand bar of Galveston Island on October 29, 2007. Lois Gibson was brought in to create an image from the severely decomposed remains in an effort to discover her identity. Gibson used a photo of her daughter, Tiffany, at about the same age as the murdered girl and drew the clothes in which the body was found on that image. The two drawings were released to the world-wide media November 2. On November 5, Sherly Sawyers of Mentor, Ohio, the grandmother of two-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers, called Galveston Police wondering if it was her grandaughter. Soon it was determined that the mother, Kimberly Trenor, who recently moved to Texas with Riley, was involved in the little girl's death along with her husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler. On December 1, 2007, a DNA match confirmed Riley Ann Sawyers was indeed the little murdered girl. Trenor, 19 and Ziegler, 24, are both held on $350,000 bail with charges pending.
