Margaret "Kay-Alana" Turner Part 2: The Shattered Window
12Description
On March 9, 2023, 27-year-old Kay-Alana Turner left a friend’s home in Silsbee, Texas, and headed toward Austin, about four hours away, apparently to see a friend. In the days leading up to March 9, Kay-Alana had not been sleeping well, and she didn’t seem quite like herself. Witnesses in the towns of Hockley and Tomball, Texas, interacted with Kay-Alana in the early morning hours of March 10. She had been asking people if she could sleep in their driveways. By this time, Kay-Alana’s phone had died. Around 6 AM, a homeowner in the Holly Creek Estates subdivision in Tomball, Texas, noticed Kay-Alana’s car in their driveway, and she was asleep inside. The homeowner decided to call someone from their homeowner’s association and other neighbors. They gathered around Kay-Alana’s car and attempted to wake her. Kay-Alana was scared and decided to drive her car away, but they blocked her. Then, an officer from Harris County broke Kay-Alana’s driver-side window. She bolted, first by driving her car through the yard, out through some farmland, and eventually into the woods, where the vehicle got stuck. With deputies behind her on foot, she decided to run. Kay-Alana dropped her phone along the way and later removed her shoes, full of glass from the broken window. In the days that followed, Kay-Alana’s loved ones began to compare notes and came to believe that she was suffering a mental health crisis that night. Despite extensive searches of the area where Kay-Alana was last seen, no trace of her, other than her phone and shoes, has ever been found.
If you have any information about Kay-Alana’s disappearance, please contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office at 713-755-7427.
Update- In April 2024, Kay-Alana’s skeletal remains were recovered by Texas EquuSearch not far from where she disappeared.

RIP Kay-Alana you are home now. My condolences to the family and friends.

unfortunately people aren't well versed in recognizing mental health vs. drugs.. so they immediately assume and look at those people as throw aways..
This is absolutely horrifying, law enforcement knows exactly what happened to her. And those neighbors should be disgusted with their own actions. Heartbreaking, infuriating, and sickening.
Law enforcement knows exactly what happened and they have done something to her period. It’s so obvious - how horrible-
Furthermore, in my opinion, the Houston police are liable for what ever happened to Kay Alana. If somebody picked her up, you would think that she would’ve been taken to a hospital for help. I can’t imagine that she was acting normal at that point. 
This story is horrific. The family needs to get a lawyer and they need to get access to the police video. The police handled the situation absolutely wrong. It was obvious that this person was not in their right mind because people don’t end up sleeping in a stangers driveway. That’s not normal. Blocking her in only terrified her, especially when somebody broke her window with a 2 x 4!! Insane!! also pretty darn obvious that she was experiencing psychotic symptoms due her medications!!
This is so heartbreaking. It's so horrible how the people in that neighborhood and the police reacted and handled this situation ... that poor girl. I hope this gets more media attention and a more thorough investigation happens to bring her home.
I think I just watched a show featuring Kay-Alana. It is a very memorable name. This poor family.
