MILTON — A Milton woman whose skeleton was found Friday in Daketown State Forest was stabbed to death, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday. ‘We are treating this as a homicide,’ Undersheriff Michael Woodcock said. Christina N. White left her family home in the Stockade Mobile Home Park on Rock City Road June 30. She was last seen in the Geyser Road-Rowland Street area in the early morning of July 1. Her family reported her missing July 3. She was 19 years old when she was reported missing, but her 20th birthday has since passed. Woodcock said Wednesday that police don’t know when White died.
Based on the condition of her skeleton, they believe she’d been dead in the woods since shortly after her disappearance. Daketown State Forest, 505 acres of mostly pine tree plantations, is about a mile north of Middle Grove on Lake Desolation Road and about six miles from White’s home.
Christina White suffered from bipolar disorder and was in the habit of taking long walks when she was upset. The Rev. Nick TeBordo of the United Church of Cohoes remembered White as a little girl who came to Sunday school every week, often bringing her younger brother and sister with her.
‘I didn’t know the woman she’d become, or was becoming, I should say,’ TeBordo said. ‘I remember a little girl who obviously loved her brother and sister and who loved Jesus.’ He has spoken often with the White family since Sunday, when a forensic dentist matched the remains with White’s records and identified the bones as hers. ‘I know they are coming together,’ TeBordo said.
‘I know they’d been praying since she disappeared.’ Undersheriff Woodcock said a task force of about 20 detectives from the county and state police is still working on the case. ‘We’re concentrating on the town of Milton right now, all the places she hung out,’ Woodcock said. ‘We’re talking to all the ex-boyfriends, friends and family members.’
He said they are looking for anyone who may have seen White to call them at 885-2475 or 885-6761. She was a small, slightly built woman and favored dark, goth-style clothing.
