"After deliberating for less than an hour on Thursday, a Tarrant County jury found a 35-year-old man guilty of aggravated kidnapping for causing his ex-girlfriend to disappear nearly three years ago. A judge then sentenced him to life in prison.

The trial for Typhenie Johnson’s abductor, Christopher Revill, 35, began Aug. 12.

Deborah Johnson, Typhenie Johnson’s mother, said she cried a little after Revill’s sentence was read. Members of the jury, and Johnson’s other relatives, cheered and hugged in the gallery after the sentencing verdict was read."

That's better than I was expecting. I was so worried he would only get 10-20 years because there wasn't a murder charge. Well done prosecutors! Way to go jury! Her mother said it perfectly:
“He’s going to be where he needs to be for the rest of his life,” Deborah Johnson said. “He’s never going to hurt another woman again. Another family does not have to go through this because of him. He’s right where he needs to be.”

I hope he tells someone where he put Typhenie and Taalibah. Let their families have closure and a chance to grieve with a proper funeral. I don't expect him to grow a conscience anytime soon but maybe he will slip up and tell his cellmates. He's got the rest of his life and I bet he will want to brag how he disappeared them eventually. MOO.
 
Is there a more current thread anywhere? Human remains were found near where they've been searching for her.

Does anyone have an updated map to areas that have been searched? @skibaboo do you have one by chance? I was looking at the map and wondering about some areas.

Has his address been listed yet? I can't seem to find it. I'm just curious how much cover that house has. His parents weren't going to cover for him so I'm sure whatever he did was super fast at the house. Was it confirmed that the shirt found in the yard was hers from the day he took her? I'm just trying to put together how the crime was done. He's sweaty when he gets to the police/Typhenie's house. He was young and appeared fit so I feel pretty certain he dumped some items close to her house if not her body too.

We know he wasn't able to move her bc he's been in jail since so definitely not an easy to find place that he went back for later to hide better.

Her brother saw him pull up onto the grass so I wonder what that was about and no DNA was found in the trunk or car. She was in the car or on the side of the house and then came in to gather some of his things. I wonder if he grabbed a garbage bag to put those things in. Then leaves the house and grabs her from the side of the house, puts her in the trunk, and then takes off.

I'm wondering why he would then take her to the house and remove her clothes. I know it was presented at trial that he did, but I'm unsure why he would remove the clothes and then leave them at his house if the train of thought is that he gets home and then gets a call from police to go back. He had no real reason to get there in 25 min. The cops said get back here and an extra minute to get her clothes he left if he's at home at the time doesnt make sense. Not that he's a genius or anything.

The limited time to do all of the things just makes me wonder why he would leave her clothes there unless he had already left to hide her body and thought he could come back later and deal with the clothes. Getting her body out of his backyard had to be a priority since his parents were out at dinner and shopping.

Does anyone know where his phone pinged when the cops called him to come back?
 
Bumping for Typhenie after listening to her Vanished podcast. I’m so glad to see Chris went to jail and was made responsible. But I wish they could locate her.

On the 8th anniversary of Typhenie’s disappearance, her sister Kiesha Crouse and aunt Janelle Hofeldt have joined Johnson in Texas to search yet again.

“We're basically doing searches again. We did two hours today, and we're going out again tomorrow. We have another small crew. We're going to start at eight o'clock. We're going to meet together, and we're going to go through every single bit of what we went through,” said Hofeldt.

*****
“I don’t like the word 'was.' To me, it's past tense. The word is 'is.' She's just a perfect, beautiful young lady,” said Hofeldt.

*****
The family updates a Facebook group for those interested in the search.

They welcome volunteers to join them on Saturday morning. Those interested should meet between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. at 5100 Endicott Avenue in Fort Worth. They are asked to wear closed-toe shoes and pants and to bring an ID, a hat, a walking stick and water.

There’s currently a $30,000 reward for information about Typhenie’s whereabouts. Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Worth Police.
