Details of Disappearance
Monteiro's family last heard from her in May or June 1988, and she was last seen in July 1988 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. She has never been heard from again.

The remains of nine women, all in their twenties and thirties, all of whom had issues with drugs and prostitution, were found along highways in New Bedford in 1988 and 1989. Investigators believe they were murdered by a serial killer.

Monteiro fits this profile and is believed to have been another victim in the series, and so is Marilyn Roberts, who disappeared from the city in April 1988. The murders, and Roberts and Monteiro's disappearances, remain unsolved.

I wonder if Christina could possibly be this UID found in Dorchester? It is believed the UID was born between 1965-1980, and Christina’s year of birth is 1968. The doe’s race is also listed as ‘other,’ described as either biracial, or ‘appearing’ white. This was actually the detail which led to my consideration of Christina upon reading about this particular UID; because I myself had actually mistaken her for being Caucasian when I first came across her Namus profile photo, before realizing her race is actually listed as African American.
