“We know that Tracy was at Memorial Hospital with a friend on August 7 of 2007,” says Lt. Kayla Miller with Michiana Crime Stoppers. “And then on August 10, Tracy’s family got a phone call from her, and she asked them to pick her up at the corner of Blaine and Lincoln Way in South Bend. She said she was being bothered by someone and family said she seemed like she was afraid.”

Tracy’s family hung up the phone and immediately went to that area. It only took 15 minutes for them to get there, but she was gone. That was the last time they would ever talk to her. Little did they know, just over a month later, their loved one would be found in that exact same area.''

16 years later on Dec. 11, 2023, Christine’s “Michiana Unsolved” piece aired. 48 hours after that, even more was revealed.

“Cold case detectives had a family member reach out and say, ‘I think this is one of my relatives,” Lt. Miller says. “We were able to get DNA collected from them and get that sent to the lab.''
