Missing Person Photos

A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are unknown. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2 to 5 percent of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. A number of organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and images of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.

Resources for Missing Persons

According to current statistics, 4,000 people in the United States go missing every day. Sometimes a child suddenly vanishes from the bus stop or the local park or even from their own yard or bedroom. Or a teenager doesn�t return home after a walk to the neighborhood grocery store or a bike ride or a party with friends. Other times, an adult is mysteriously absent from their job or neighbors haven�t seen them for several days, and family and friends haven�t heard from them either.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, hazel eyes. Christina has noticeable white spots on her front teeth. Her ears are double-pierced. Her nicknames are Chris and Chrissy.
Details of Disappearance Christina was last seen on April 28, 1979, during the Asotin County Fair in Asotin, Washington. At 2:30 p.m., she called her mother from a friend's house to say she was feeling sick from the heat.
Her mother wasn't able to get her because she didn't have access to a car, and told Christina to put a wet towel on her neck and lie down and rest, and to come home when she felt better. She didn't call again, and her mother assumed she'd recovered and gone back to the fair.
Christina was last seen in the 500 block of 2nd Street sometime between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. When her mother went to pick her up, she wasn't there. Her classmates said she had been on her way home when they saw her last. Weeks after her disappearance, her school papers were found scattered at a farm on the outskirts of Astoin.
Christina was riding her white ten-speed bicycle at the time of her disappearance. It had a basket in the front and distinctive three-inch wing nuts on the front wheels, and was possibly a Schwinn brand. The bike was brand-new, a present for her birthday eight weeks before. It has never been located.
Christina lived with her mother and stepfather at the time of her disappearance, and attended a local Lutheran church. Her parents had divorced when she was a baby. She had several activities planned for the upcoming summer: two camping trips, baseball and spending a month with her father. Authorities don't believe she left of her own accord.
Authorities believe Christina's disappearance may be connected to the 1982 disappearance of Steven Pearsall and the murders of stepsisters Kristina Nelson, 21, and Jacqueline A. "Brandy" Miller, 18, as well as the 1981 murder of Kristin David, a University of Idaho student whose dismembered body was found in the Snake River eight days after she vanished on a bike ride.
Pearsall, Nelson and Miller all disappeared from Lewiston, Idaho on the same night; the women were last seen walking to a grocery store and Pearsall vanished from the Lewiston Civic Theater, where he worked. Nelson and Miller's bodies were found in a canyon in Kendrick, Idaho in 1984. Pearsall has never been located, but he is believed to have been a homicide victim.
Authorities believe it's possible Pearsall witnessed the women's murders and was himself killed as a result. Photos of Nelson, Miller and David are posted with this summary.
Investigators have a person of interest in all those s, a man who has never been publicly identified. He lived at the home where Christina was just before she disappeared and was one of the last people known to have seen her, he was active at the Lewiston Civic Theater, and he admitted he worked at the theater that night. He has never been publicly identified, but he's been interviewed many times by police. He maintains his innocence in the murders and disappearances.
All of the s remain unsolved.
