Texas Terror Discovery ID describes this episode as when thirteen-year-old Texas City girl Krystal Baker is found dead off the banks of the Galveston Bay, investigators round up a herd of suspects. But with little physical evidence on the scene, it takes a dedicated detective to solve this case. Kevin Edison Smith was convicted of Capital Murder in the state of Texas, which carries an automatic life sentence. He was arrested because his DNA was on file for a prior drug offense when cold case detectives opted to retest the dress Krystal had been wearing. He was spared the death penalty as he is suspected of other Texas murders of missing girls.
During the interview, appellant testified that he picked up a girl he believed to be named “Michelle” and, after she told him she was 18-years-old, he paid her for sex. “Michelle” performed oral sex on him, but “freaked out” after he ejaculated on her. Appellant said that he pleaded with her to be quiet so that others at the gas station nearby would not hear. When she would not comply, he began to choke her with his hands. When pressed about whether he used a ligature rather than his hands, appellant admitted that he grabbed the strap to a bucket and choked her with that. He “freaked out” when he realized that she was not breathing and began to drive. He then dumped her body under the Trinity River Bridge
