No human remains found after South Elgin excavation in connection to disappearance of teen girl

SOUTH ELGIN, Ill. (WLS) -- No human remains were found after an excavation in South Elgin linked to the 2016 disappearance of teen Kianna Galvin, the Kane County State's Attorney's Office said Friday.

The South Elgin Police Department and Fox Valley Major Crimes Task Force conducted a forensic excavation at a residence in the 800-block of Revere Road, the state's attorney's office said.

Authorities said ground-penetrating anomalous beneath the surface prompted the excavation.

Kianna Galvin was 17 when she went missing on May 6, 2016.

She told her family she was going to nearby Jim Hansen Park, but never returned home.

A neighbor said he last saw Galvin going into the home the day she went missing.

Galvin's friend allegedly lived in that same house, the neighbor said. The friend's family no longer lives on Revere Road.

South Elgin police said they will continue to work to bring closure in the case.

"While today's search did not uncover the answers we had hoped for, our commitment to finding the truth about Kianna's disappearance remains unwavering," said Kane County State's Attorney Jamie L. Mosser. "We will continue to pursue every credible lead and stand with Kianna's family as this investigation moves forward."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the South Elgin Police Department at (847) 741-2151.
