A woman who vanished without a trace from Arizona in 1994, when she was just 13 years old, has been found alive after 32 years. Christina Marie Plante was reported missing in May 1994 from Star Valley, Arizona, after leaving her home on foot to go to the stable where her horse was kept.
The Gila County Sheriff's Office announced the discovery on Wednesday, stating that investigators confirmed her identity and that her status as a missing person has been officially resolved. The sheriff's office said that out of respect for Christina's privacy and well-being, additional details will not be released at this time.
According to reports, Plante now works as a private investigator. The case had remained unsolved for decades, despite extensive searches and investigations at the time of her disappearance. The creation of a Cold Case Unit and advances in technology eventually led to a breakthrough.
The sheriff's office remains committed to pursuing unresolved cases and encourages anyone with information regarding other cold cases to come forward.
