Missing Since: 1985-04-23 Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
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. Christine was a good student in 1985 and didn’t have a history of being late or absent from school. She was close to her seven siblings and her parents; her mother was ill and bedridden at the time of her disappearance. There is speculation that she ran away due to a possible pregnancy, but her loved ones stated she had never run before and always kept her family informed of her whereabouts. 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. Investigating Agency Philadelphia Police Department 215-685-1173 Source Information The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Child Quest International Inc.
