In May, a worker found her bones at a Cleveland field, close to where she disappeared seven years earlier, according to Sergeant Jennifer Ciaccia, a Cleveland police spokeswoman.

After the discovery, the bones were taken to a medical examiner to confirm they were Thomas’ bones.

As more questions are being raised, her family is now demanding answers regarding her disappearance and death.

During an interview, Thomas’ mother, Kimberly Osborne, expressed her frustrations and pain to Cleveland 19.

“I was mad, angry, and hurt. I had to tell Kristy’s son. That was the hardest part,” Osborne said.

Osborne takes care of Thomas’ son, who is now 16 years old. When Thomas went missing on June 19, 2015, Osborne knew something wasn’t right.

“I knew something was wrong because she would’ve contacted her son,” Osborne told Cleveland 19.

Over the years, Osborne has been trying to remain optimistic about her daughter’s return, but the chilling discovery of her daughter’s bones has brought her spirits down severely.

“Everyone tried giving me that hope and I got that hope back but now it’s shot down again,” Osborne told Cleveland 19.

Osborne wasn’t aware of her daughter’s disappearance until she received an anonymous phone call. She still doesn’t know who called her that day.

The family now plans to have a proper burial for Thomas.

“It’s a little bit of closure, but it ain’t fully closure until I know what happened to my daughter, and then I can lay her to rest properly,” Osborne told Cleveland 19.

 Penny Mitchell, one of Thomas’ family members, set up a GoFundMe to cover funeral costs.

“We decided to try to take some stress off her mother and her 16-year-old son, who her [Kristy Thomas’] mother is raising, so they have time to grieve. Thank you all for the prayers being sent,” Mitchell posted on the GoFundMe.

Police are still investigating the alleged crime. It’s unclear how long Thomas’ body was in the field, when she went missing, or when she died.

The official cause of death hasn’t been revealed either.

It has been revealed that Thomas was fighting with her then-boyfriend around the time she disappeared. Phone records show that she made a call to a friend who didn’t answer.

The boyfriend, who’s identity isn’t known, has been interviewed by police several times.
