Christina had been hanging out with friends at the popular Legacy entertainment area Friday evening. When she headed to her car at about 4 a.m. Saturday morning, a friend walked with her.
“Her friend went toward his car, and she went towards her car and that was pretty much the last time she was seen,” says Officer David Tilley, a Plano Police Department spokesperson. Tilley says detectives have questioned and released the friend.
Christina’s silver Toyota Celica was later recovered still parked in the garage. Neither her cell phone nor bank cards have shown any recent activity. Police are putting extra officers on the case because they weren’t contacted until late Tuesday night. Due to the holiday weekend, no one was alarmed until she didn’t show up for work.
“When that kind of time frame lapses, you’re always trying to catch up,” says Tilley. “So that’s why we’re putting some extra resources on to get that early jump.”
Police are also asking local businesses to review their surveillance systems to see if their cameras captured Christina’s movements as she passed through the garage. Detectives also plan to retrace her steps into the garage at about the time she disappeared, hoping they stumble onto a clue.
Meanwhile, family members insist that she wasn’t under any undue stress.
“Just regular stuff,” says Morris. “I think she may have had a disagreement with her boyfriend. But, nothing huge that would cause her to disappear.”
Police plan to have teams of officers in the area continuing the search.
