Christine was last seen leaving her family's home on Greenway Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 8:00 a.m. on April 23, 1985. She was supposed to catch the Woodland Avenue trolley and go to Bartram High School for the day's classes, but never arrived. Christine has never been seen again. She was close to her seven siblings and her parents; her mother was ill and bedridden at the time of her disappearance. Christine is still listed as an endangered runaway with some agencies, but police believe her case may be related to the disappearance of Allen Briscoe, also a Bartram High School student, who vanished later in 1985. Both cases remain unsolved. Christine's nicknames are Tina and Dinky, She has a surgical scar on her left side from a July 1984 nephrectomy.
