Ordinary Day Gone

On a May afternoon in 1994, a thirteen-year-old girl, Christina Marie Plante, walked out of her house in the Star Valley of Arizona to come to the stable where her horse was housed. She did not come or come back home, and no one could tell why.

Everyone Searched

An exhaustive search that was exhaustive was started by local police, volunteers, and regional resources. The territory was covered with ground teams. Interviews were conducted. All possible leads were pursued. Everything, however, all the searching and all the sleepless nights, could not give a trace of her.

Face Everywhere

The face of Christina was published on posters of missing people throughout the country and entered into national databases. She was on lists and hearts more than thirty years after her name had died away as the world passed on without her.

Case Never Closed

Investigators are plagued by cold cases. The Gila County Sheriff’s cold case team re-examined the case of Christina on a regular basis using new insights, new questions, and technology not available in 1994.

Technology Delivered

The new investigative instruments showed what decades of searching could never show. According to Sheriff Adam J. Shepherd, advancing technology gave new leads that finally helped the investigators locate Christina following a thirty-two-year silence.

She Walked Away

Christina ran out willingly and has been staying with one of her family members. There has been no reported crime, and no criminal investigation into her disappearance is underway.

She Is 44

The young girl of thirteen years on the faded posters of missing has grown up to be a forty-four-year-old woman. She has led a complete life since her disappearance, and it is a life that those who had been searching for her always wished that she was alive.

Privacy Comes First

Sheriff Shepherd is cautious and sparse, and he gives no location, circumstances, or details that he does not need. The office of the sheriff is desperately guarding the story of Christina out of respect for her privacy and health.

Questions Remain

The discovery of Christina alive ends one of the chapters but starts another one. The question that investigators are trying to answer is who brought her up in her thirty-two missing years, so this aspect of the story remains a puzzle and a subject of continued investigation, along with her rediscovery.

Hope Never Dies

The story of Christina can be associated with the families with missing persons records and grey photographs, which is a hope. It is a forceful expression of, never give up hope. Miracles occur day by day, and cold cases are solved.
