A young woman’s life was cut tragically short, her last moments likely spent in terror,” Acting U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham said.

A Texas truck driver will spend life in prison after being convicted of kidnapping and killing a Dallas woman. Investigators say phone data, surveillance video, and search history helped them track him down.

A truck driver who kidnapped then murdered a Dallas sex worker faces an automatic life federal prison term. It took an hour for a federal jury to convict 28-year-old Naasson Hazzard of kidnapping resulting in death.

Family members have identified the victim as 25-year-old Caleigha Zangari, a U.S. Army veteran from California. They say at some point she became a victim of human trafficking and ended up in Dallas as a sex worker.
