A Harris County grand jury re-indicted Quan Flowers on an aggravated kidnapping charge; detectives say they’re still gathering evidence to pursue murder charges

Overview

  • The Harris County grand jury indicted 41-year-old Quan Flowers on an aggravated kidnapping charge Friday in the 2024 disappearance of 29-year-old Kalie Goodwin.
  • Investigators executing a search warrant recovered evidence they say shows Flowers assaulted Goodwin and removed her from a residence tied to the case.
  • Goodwin’s body has not been found and law enforcement believes she is likely deceased, and detectives are continuing searches to locate her remains.
  • Police built leads using digital forensics including cell-tower data, a CashApp account tied to a vehicle, and license-plate reader hits that placed the car near where Goodwin was last seen.
  • The case has involved coordinated work across Baytown, Houston, Fort Bend and Harris County authorities, and prosecutors have previously secured a Fort Bend indictment as they prepare for further charges and seek public tips.
