Oh, her poor Mama!
Whittaker’s mother praying for a miracle
Hannibal, MO —
“I knew from the first day something was very, very wrong,” said Cindy Young, whose 21-year-old daughter, Christina Whittaker, has been missing from downtown Hannibal since Friday, Nov. 13.
“They found her phone on the ground on South Seventh Street,” a few blocks from the bar where she was last seen, Young said.
“She has a 6-month-old baby,” she added. “I know she did not run off. She has never did it in her life." “She called me constantly during the day - she wouldn’t go half a day without calling me,” Young said. “I cannot remember one day in her lifetime I have not talked to her on the phone or in person. There have been time she’s had two phones, texting on one and talking on the other.”
As news about Whittaker’s disappearance continues to spread - including informing the Nancy Grace show on CNN - Young is asking for prayers from the public, along with tips from anyone with information that might help find her daughter.....
Missing Hannibal woman may have been spotted in Central Illinois
Hannibal, MO —
Police are investigating a report that a missing Hannibal woman may have been spotted at a restaurant in Central Illinois.
In an exclusive interview with the Courier-Post, a waitress said 21-year-old Christina M. Whittaker came into Raedene’s Country Cafe in Creve Coeur between 4:30 and 5 a.m. Sunday.
“It was definitely her,” said the waitress, Beth Taylor. “I’m 110 percent sure.”
Taylor said Whittaker’s long, red hair had been dyed black or dark brown, but that her facial and physical features matched those in a photo later shown to cafe workers by police.
Taylor said Whittaker came into the cafe alone with no purse or pocketbook and was wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt and black pants.
“She was upset,” Taylor recalled. “She had no coat on. She seemed to be shook up.” Taylor said Whittaker looked over her shoulder several times as if someone was watching her.

Creve Coeur is just across the Illinois River from Peoria.
The person purported to be Christina made a call using the restaurant's phone. The person called later called back to ask who had called and didn't recognize the description of the person. If it was Christina, I wonder if she called a number she knew but didn't realize she was now in a different area code. But, then, if it was Christina, why didn't she just call 911 or ask the restaurant for help???
phishpan --what do you think of all of this? It sounds to me as tho someone else is in control of her & she's frightened.
That's kinda what I'm thinking too. I work at the newspaper here in town and one of our reporters is going to be on Nancy Grace tonight so hopefully that will lead to some more info...
Here's a post on nancy's facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/notes/nancy-grace/urgent-missing-persons-report-issued-for-christina-whittaker/339947990021
Have there been any updates on Christina? I am sure her little baby is missing her mommy.
