She married her husband at the age of 16. Very difficult to find any information on her. No idea on the cause of death. Not a peep in the news as far as I can tell.

She had a fatal stab wound to her throat, her breasts had been mutilated, but she had not been raped.

Investigators are not without some leads. They have been able to determine two persons of interest, though one is in a federal penitentiary and the other is homeless and believed to be in the Fort Worth area.

Thank you!

“We think this is someone who was known to her, probably well known to her. The person who did this had a severe anger issue. The motive for her murder may only be known to him. The profile that we developed led us to believe that the killer was heavily involved in drugs in that day – Angel Dust, heroin – and he probably didn’t have much of a criminal record at the time,” Bess said. “He could have gone on to continue that type of behavior and never committed another crime.”

"Robbery obviously was not the motive as Christie was taking home a large sum of cash from the store until banks opened the next day so she could make a deposit. The money, as well as all of her personal possessions, were still in the car.

Though her murder is random and without a motive, Bess does not believe her murder is the work of a serial killer.

“It doesn’t match,” he said.
