Family says missing woman was pulled into random vehicle in SW Houston​

Community activist Quanell X, along with family and friends of a missing Houston woman came together to pass out missing person flyers to bring attention to her disappearance.

Sara Goodwin, 18, was last seen at the intersection of South Course Drive and Bissonnet Street in southwest Houston. She was apparently pulled into a white 2015-2017 model Honda CRV by an unidentified man on Feb. 6, according to a release.

That same man was spotted in the same intersection allegedly attempting to lure two other women into his vehicle, according to Quanell X.

Goodwin’s cellphone was later recovered on the side of the road, three blocks away from the scene she was taken from.


The Houston Police Department released the following statement about the case:

“The missing persons investigation is an open investigation. From surveillance video, it does show that the missing person willingly got into the vehicle seen on camera.”

Houston man sentenced to 45 years for confessing to killing prostitute, chopping up her body​

Henry David Cossette, 29, of Houston, was sentenced to 45 years in prison for murdering a teenage prostitute in 2022, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced.

"This young woman, who had her whole life ahead of her, was brutally murdered for no reason by a man who then tried to cover it all up," Ogg said. "And then he selfishly put everyone in his apartment complex at risk by starting a fire that could have killed others instead of taking responsibility for his acts."

Cossette was convicted of murder during a two-day bench trial and sentenced by a judge late Wednesday for strangling 18-year-old Sara Ann Goodwin, of Spring, on February 6, 2022. He picked up Goodwin on Houston’s infamous Bissonnet Track and took her to his Alief-area apartment.


Assistant District Attorney Helen Le, a chief in the trial bureau of the DA’s Office, prosecuted the case with Dana Nazarova, a chief in the DA’s Homicide Division.

Le noted that the case for Cossette’s guilt was clear-cut and that it was his decision to let a judge, not a jury, decide the case.

"He tried to burn down his apartment in order to kill himself, and then police and HFD got called out and he told them all he felt guilty about what he did," Le said. "Guilt or innocence was never the issue in this case."

Nazarova added that Cossette does not act or look particularly dangerous, and he probably did not cause the victim much concern when he picked her up.

"A big part of this crime is that he looks and behaves like a normal person that you might see every day," she said. "But you never know what someone can actually do behind closed doors."

She also noted that the victim was just 18 years old when she died.

"This young lady had her whole life ahead of her and did not deserve to lose her life," Nazarova said. "She didn’t have a chance to fight back, and it was this defendant’s intentional acts that killed her — he was on top of her, choking her as she took her last breath."

It's just amazing to me that these days murder is no longer even life in prison but intentional murder is 45 years. Why is this? Anyone?

I guess all are to be happy and impressed by this?

And this was a bench trial.

And TX.

And she was 18. And this was intentional.

When is it he will get out while she remains dead forever?
