A 16-year-old suspect remains in custody, charged with murder in the death of Tiffany Galvan, whose body was found Wednesday near Benavides Park outside Brownsville.
Galvan celebrated her 17th birthday on Monday, the day she started her senior year at Los Fresnos High School and a day after she had written publicly on her Facebook page that she was having trouble with an ex-boyfriend.
She said on Facebook that she was pregnant and had a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday.
Her mother spoke Friday of her daughter, who had a passion for singing and played the guitar at church on Sundays.
Maria Esther Galvan said her daughter was smart and energetic, a girl who liked to speak her mind but was not aggressive or confrontational. She said she never saw her daughter drink or smoke, and that the teenager followed house rules and made curfew.
"I had a feeling, the kind of feeling mothers get when something goes wrong," the mother said in Spanish of Tuesday night, when her daughter went out and did not come home. "I knew something was wrong."
Investigators with the Cameron County Sheriff’s Department say the suspect in custody is Galvan’s ex-boyfriend and that they believe he fatally stabbed her at least 23 times.
Sheriff Omar Lucio said the suspect is a student at Lopez High School. He has been charged with murder and appeared before a judge Friday in a detention hearing at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Center in San Benito. His name is not being released because he is a minor.
Tommy Ramirez, chief of the juvenile justice center, said the judge at the hearing denied the boy the right to go home with his parents. He will remain confined in San Benito for the next 10 days until his next court date, in which the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office will seek to charge him as an adult.
Drugs or sexual assault have not been detected in the case, according to preliminary reports. Investigators said they have not found the murder weapon.
Galvan’s family reported the girl’s disappearance Wednesday morning to the Brownsville Police Department. Her mother said she last spoke to Galvan at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Her daughter had told her she was at the park with her ex-boyfriend. Earlier that day, Maria Esther Galvan remembers, Galvan had been excited to meet the boy.
"I told her to be back in an hour," she said. "When I spoke to her an hour later, she sounded sad. She did not sound like herself."
Maria Esther Galvan said she called her daughter again later that night and received no answer.
"The phone would ring and ring and no one would pick up," she said. "Then her phone was off."
Her daughter had met the boy, a football player at Lopez High School, on an online social networking site, the mother said. She had dated him for about four months before breaking up with him less than three weeks ago, the mother said.
He seemed like a good boyfriend until her daughter began complaining that he was no longer calling and that he was seeing other girls, Maria Esther Galvan recalls.
"I would tell her not pay attention to him," she said. "I would tell her to forget about him."
On her Facebook page, Galvan openly discusses with friends her troubles with the boy and makes reference to a pregnancy. She tells a friend her ex-boyfriend will have to soon face his responsibilities as a father.
"... Especially because my baby needs a daddy: and no other girl will get in the way of that. I really do not care who he is with but all I know is that when my baby breathes air for the first time, [he] is going to have to man up whether he likes it or not
," she writes to a friend online.
In an interview Friday, Maria Esther Galvan said her daughter was not pregnant, though they had earlier worried that she was. Autopsy results have not been released.
Galvan had hoped to move to Austin for college. She enjoyed the beach and break dancing, friends and family said. She loved to take photographs of herself and her friends. She was deeply religious.
"She was girl with lots of dreams," Maria Esther Galvan said, fighting back tears. "They have taken away her dreams and they have taken away mine as well. They have taken who I most loved, my daughter. ... I’m in immense pain."
Due to an editing error, Tiffany Galvan, a senior at Los Fresnos High School, was misidentified as a freshman.

well, it doesn't matter judicially if she was pregnant or not.
in the state of Texas a "person" is someone that has been born and is alive.
unborn babies (fetuses) are not considered people in Texas - it's a damn shame.

how do you know she was the "good girl" !?!?
maybe she was a caniving ***** that resorted to telling people she was pregnant in order to keep this dude's dick outta multiple bitches.
if she was pregnant, dude needs to die.
if she was lying about the pregnancy, she got was she deserved.

I always look back on this case and it's so sad. I knew this guy since the 6th grade and I am not justifying what he did at all. I just wish he would have told an adult what she was doing to him. Why doesn't the media ever tell his side of the story? cause he was too scared to confused to speak up? its so sad that on that say 2 lives were cut short. Hers cause of his actions and his life cause he'll also never get to experience life. I dont ever like to speak of the dead but I have brother's and I hope they never get cornered to the point that they pull something like this. This girl wasn't pregnant she lied cause she wanted to tie him down when she became toxic. He had left her cause short of 2 weeks of dating she became so toxic. Football practice would end and he had a crazy number of missed calls. He was already dating someone new and she couldn't just let him live his life. He had no right to take her life but i will forever wish he would have asked an adult for help at that time. She knew she wasn't pregnant, why dont people go back to her old status on facebook and twitter and really realize how this girl was. I also have sisters and I hope they never end up pushing a man so far it cost them their life.

The DA is already getting her posts hidden by FB. Any win helps them run for office later.
There are no repercussions for mental manipulation in many many cases. It will all revert back to protecting the unborn, because in those stages, there is nearly never proof of viable pregnancy. Many go without an ultrasound until much further along. In this case, her posts are chilling no matter how you view it. And even a failed 1st trimester may be difficult to detect by autopsy.

Like previously mentioned I dont justify anything or blame anyone. I feel bad for both families. I just really dislike that no one ever brought up how she really was. How no one brought up that she had a different boyfriend each of the 4th months before August which is when this happened. Its even on her twitter account you can see how in may she mentions "chris" and in June " eddie". Javier and her really only knew each other for about a month and a half but he only actually dated her for about 2 weeks of that time. When you pass away everyone just talks about the good you did but never mentioned the bad and crazy thing you did. The timing that they knew each other was so short lived that she knew she wasn't pregnant it was just to get him to talk to her again but non of that is ever brought up. It was easier to sweep everything under the rug and give such a cruel conviction to a child cause thats what he was no matter what anyone see's. He was child who committed a crime. He never got to live an adult life just like she didnt either. Im now in my 30s with kids and my son or daughter ever going through this scares me so much! I always hope they confide in me. No matter how anyone sees it 90 years is crazy I will forever feel there was much more to this case that the DA just didnt want us as the public to see.
