Found Deceased TX - Chrissy Powell, 39, San Antonio, Paralegal, didn’t arrive @work, BOLO, 5 July 2022

[bestill]

I keep reading that she left her meds at home, but I really wonder how someone knows that for sure. I take meds and keep some in a separate container for travel and anyone going through my things wouldn’t know for certain if I have my extra container with me, or if maybe I stopped taking those meds months ago on my own.

The meds could be something such as a birth control pill or allergy medicine. Without more details from her family we won't know how critical the meds are. The reason they may be mentioned is to add more urgency to her missing flyer. JMO

I agree, this is very odd. Usually an employer asks a new employee to provide an emergency contact and I would think that for Chrissy that would be her mother. I would think that they would call the emergency contact after Chrissy failed to show up after she said she slept in and was on her way.

If Chrissy didn't provide an emergency contact at her workplace when she was hired, then I would think that the employer would call Chrissy back on her cell phone after Chrissy failed to show up after she said she had slept in and was on her way. Wouldn't Chrissy's mother have heard the cell phone ringing since Chrissy left it behind on the bathroom counter? MSM articles report that it was about 10:30 a.m. (IIRC) that the workplace employee showed up at Chrissy's home. Maybe the mother was still in bed and didn't hear the cell phone ringing, or the cell phone battery was dead?

Given that the employer is a small business/law firm and really were concerned about Chrissy for some reason that we don't know, they handled this differently than most employers would.

Somehow I don’t find their actions wrong at all. The employer said they tried calling again and no answer. Perhaps the job simply didn’t want to bother her elderly mother since odds were that Chrissy wasn’t missing.

I think it’s as simple as one coworker saying they pass by her home when leaving and will just make a stop to check in and let her know everything’s okay with her job and they were just worried about her.

My phone is always on silent and if it’s in my bathroom then no one will see/hear it if it happens to vibrate.

Missing Texas mom Christina Powell: What we know about the San Antonio paralegal missing over a week

Christina "Chrissy" Powell disappeared without a trace on the morning of July 5 after she was last seen hurrying out of her San Antonio home running late for work.

www.foxnews.com

This article mentions her medication, her phone and her watch being left behind. And also that LE told her mother that the car doesn't have tracking on it.

Also from the article:
"We didn’t do anything, because a year ago, July 4, was when she had … when her boyfriend or ex-boyfriend walked out and took the baby," Mobley told Fox News Digital. "So, it was kind of a bad anniversary."

Wonder what her mother was going to say when she changed from "she had ... when her boyfriend or ex..."?

I am wondering if she had an incident July 4, 2021 and that was why the boyfriend walked out and took the baby. Obviously there's a reason that she doesn't have full time care of the baby. Maybe this is why the coworker was urgent in checking on her and her best friend is worried sick about her....JMO

 

[sandmannc]

Her route needs to be traced via home cameras, etc and her car needs to be found.

Is LE investigating at all?

I think we are missing some pertinent background. Is she currently dating? On line dating? What are her friends saying? Has the family created a Missing FB Page? Why would a co-worker go to her home to check on her unless the co-worker was privy to some personal info that made her go check?

Things aren’t adding up.
D
MOO

I think maybe we shouldn't put too much energy into the coworker checking on her.,,.. many years ago....I had just started working for a dentist (about 2 weeks) and got the flu.....one of my coworkers showed up to see how I was doing and bought me some homemade chicken noodle soup. That was like 25 years ago and I will never forget it....it touched my soul and made feel better!

 

[MimosaMornings]

BBM This is interesting to me. She was late for two hours and a co-worker physically went to her house to check on her? I find that surprising. Is there more known by the law firm (that she hasn't worked for very long) about her than is being reported? I'm really curious about this. I don't think I've ever worked for a company that would assume I needed checking on if I were two hours late...JMO

I think Chrissy shared something with someone at work that heightened the need to check on her.

Re: the medication - it could also be that her mom didn't think much about it, until it started to look like she was really missing, for several hours. That is, if you take blood pressure medicine once a day in the morning, you may not worry that that bottle is still in the cabinet if your daughter doesn't show up for work, but when it looks like something major has happened, and she hasn't been found by afternoon, you would worry that she doesn't have it with her to take that night, or the next day. So it could even be something like insulin (which has to be refrigerated), or an asthma inhaler.

It seems like there was something in that morning phone call that made them concerned enough to go follow up when she didn't show up. Maybe she sounded sick or impaired.

Could have been a simple as discussing the July 4th plans the week before. I do think that anniversary date plays into what has happened in some way.

 

[KellyConQueso]

Thoughts and questions from a local:

• Her intention at the point she got dressed was to go the the office. It's hotter than heck right now and there's no way she would dress that way to do anything but go to work. Did something happen between the point she got dressed and the time she walked out the door?
• Why the report about Kerrville? Is that where the Dad that has custody of her youngest lives? There is a camera about every mile along I-10 (https://its.txdot.gov/its/District/SAT/cameras). Did those cameras catch her car going West towards Kerrville (and continue West past the reach of the cameras) rather than East towards her office?
• I don't make much of the co-worker coming to her home. She said she would be at the office, she didn't show, it prompted concern. It's Texas, we're friendly. Similar thing happened with a co-worker of my own. Unfortunately he had passed away from a fall before we got there.
• Medication - I think the whole medication thing is probably a means to increase urgency on the part of police and public. I take blood-pressure medication each day. It is a daily medication and imperative I take it, but I don't face imminent death if I don't.

Personally, I think she did not go to the office on purpose. I hope she is OK and makes it home for the sake of her kids and mom.

I wish we had some concrete answers to your second bullet point about Kerrville.

Regarding what she was wearing, many here have said that they're always freezing in air conditioning. That dark colored top could have been a lightweight linen (or whatever) top over something short sleeved in case she got cold in the car or at work.

I wonder how she could have overslept on her first day on the job after being offered it as a perm position. Complete accident - took a sleeping pill at 1am because her mind was racing from the weekend stress, and couldn't calm down?

Christina Lee Powell is missing and endangered in SA, TX but she's not endangered because she left without her birth control pills. She's considered "endangered" because she needs "vital" medication.

There's a BOLO issued for her 2020 black Nissan Rogue.

She phoned the law firm where she worked to inform them she'd be late. She's seen on her home Ring camera leaving at 10:34am.

Chrissy inexplicably leaves behind 3 important things: her phone, her Apple watch and her "vital" medication.

What I want to know is if her mom knew she had accepted this full-time job? If so, does the mother also sleep late? She describes a brief conversation with her daughter before CLP leaves.

Texas mom disappears without a trace after rushing out of her home

"The father of one of missing Texas mom Christina Powell’s children is "absolutely cooperating" with investigators and is "clearly" not a person of interest, despite her family’s reports that the pair had an argument just days before she disappeared, authorities told Fox News Digital"

"He wanted to be a family unit again and, you know, he was blaming her for them not being together anymore," she [CLP's mother] said. "I don’t think he was involved."

Mobley said her daughter and the man "saw each other often," sometimes as frequently as once a week. They had most recently been together on the Saturday before Powell disappeared, Mobley said.

"Chrissy had told me that they had a wonderful visit on Saturday, but then they argued on Sunday," she added.

When Powell never showed up, a colleague went to her home around lunchtime to check in on her, only to learn from her 12-year-old son that his mother had left that morning. [Her son answered the door and was surprised because he thought she'd left for work. Perhaps the co-worker is also a friend who helped Chrissy get this job.]

She [the mother] and loved ones also retraced Powell's likely path to work, but found no signs of her or a crash.

It's easier to hide a body than it is to hide a nice black SUV. ATT, I'm thinking Chrissy was carjacked when she entered the law firm's parking lot or garage.

 

[borndem]

She was "running late for work" at 10:30 am? So many questions.

Maybe she came in late and worked late for one or some of the attorneys.

Every article I have read about her meds has been different. And if she is considered endangered why is she not on the San Antonio missing persons link? Too many conflicting reports.

I, too, wonder if something in that morning phone call gave the co-worker a bit of concern about Chrissy. Like maybe her tone or demeanor just seemed a bit off. But they figure, I can suss out the situation and talk to her to see if she's really OK when she shows up at work. Then she never did. That may have prompted a home visit. I consider all of my co-workers, especially those I know well on my smaller team, extremely friendly and they care about me and I about them, but I highly doubt any of them would show up at my home if I had not come in. They would probably try calling me again (they likely did try calling Chrissy again), and then if they didn't hear still by the next day, it would probably be a call to my emergency contact. It's possible her co-workers handle things differently but also possible something made them feel something was off in that morning phone call. MOo

Even though I made my first post in this thread today, I've been following this story since my daughter told me about it. [Looks at text messages] That was on WED, the 13th. DD's best friend has a supervisory position at the SA hospital.

I have not seen any discretion re: CLP's meds. Do you mind sharing a link because that'd be a nice thing to check off the list. TIA

One thing I was curious about is that the mother did not file a MP report until the next day even though she knew CLP was missing when the co-worker dropped by on 7/05.

I am not alarmed by CLP's name not being on the MP website. However, what does intrigue is that the SAPD FB page does not mention this case at all. They still have little Lina Kihl's missing person's report pinned at the top of their page.

3rd source on meds
The San Antonio Police Department confirmed that its missing persons unit is investigating the case, saying that a ‘Be On The Lookout’ alert has been issued for Powell’s missing vehicle.
Police say that Powell suffers from a medical condition that requires a doctor’s care, and have classified her as missing and endangered.

If my employee sounded like they were in danger or their health was significantly impaired, I'd call their emergency contact, if they had one, or the police. I wouldn't try to track them down myself. I wish some enterprising reporter had thought to ask why the employer came to her house in the midst of all the part time/full time info.

What I have read is that she has a medical condition that requires medication...which could be anything!

IMO it's surprising that her coworkers even knew where she lived if she was so new to the job. Maybe she was friends with a coworker before she got the job?
Also, I don't think whether or not her medication is critical to her health is necessarily the point of including that detail. The public wasn't also told about her medical condition or if she regularly took medication to work. The worrying part is that the medication was part of her established routine, like taking her phone or Apple watch, and her not making it back in time for several doses now indicates something is not as it should be. IMO her leaving her medication helps the theory that she didn't plan on being gone for so long and didn't just uproot her life and run away (as do all of the other details I've read about her like her being a devoted mother, pet owner, and employee).
