TAMUT Criminal Justice Program Accepted as Approved Internship Partner with Moxxy Forensic Investigations

TEXARKANA, Texas – Texas A&M University-Texarkana has announced that its criminal justice program has been accepted as an approved internship partner with Moxxy Forensic Investigations (Moxxy). Texas-based Moxxy is a victim-centered organization that provides exceptional Investigative Genetic Genealogy services to investigating agencies. They work with determination and integrity to help agencies bring closure to the countless cases of unidentified human remains and unsolved violent crimes.

As an approved internship provider, A&M-Texarkana criminal justice students may apply for Moxxy’s semester-long internship program. The internship offers students a unique opportunity to work alongside professionals in the field, contributing to meaningful cases and projects that support human identification and violent crime investigations. Interns will develop valuable skills in investigative genetic genealogy, research, case review, and outreach while building connections with experts and investigative agencies, giving TAMUT students a chance to be part of innovative, purpose-driven work that makes a real difference.

Moxxy Forensic Investigations was co-founded by Katie Thomas, an Investigative Genetic Genealogist and A&M-Texarkana graduate. “This is a full-circle moment for me — to return to my roots and partner with my alma mater to create opportunities for students in this community,” said Thomas. “Our internship program gives them hands-on experience in forensic investigations while fostering the compassion and curiosity that drive this work. I’m so proud to help the next generation begin their journey in a field that truly makes a difference.”

“Internships are a valuable part of career development in criminal justice,” said Dr. Tom Jordan, A&M-Texarkana Associate Professor and Internship Director for Criminal Justice. “They serve to bridge a student’s knowledge from the classroom to the field. Interning with Moxxy Forensics allows a student to learn and apply a cutting-edge investigative technique that will only grow in importance for missing person and criminal investigations.”
