GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #3 *Arrest*

[LizardQueen74]

Quite a few of Christina's friends on FB work at restaurants/bars. Their night doesn't get started until they get off work. Not sure if this helps any.

This is an excellent point. Maybe he joined the festivities late after a shift? I believe she was having a Girls' Night Out earlier and it extended to staying w/her friend - then changed to going home. Not sure of the comings/goings of who joined. I'm hopeful LE has this info. It would be totally helpful to our speculating. *sigh*

One minor thing that bugs me too....those that are familiar w/the area know there are multiple parking garages. Not to mention those coveted spaces in front of the shops (on both sides of Legacy). The odds that they were parked not only in the same garage, but both on the first floor....on a Fri night of a holiday weekend? I try to meet coworkers for lunch in the area and we never are parked that close. I don't know what to make of it other than...what luck/coincidence? hmmm

C'mon guys...we're on this forum b/c we are true crime junkies. At least, I will freely admit I am. As my husband said, "I've only watched maybe 1/100th of the crime stuff you watch. And - I know. The last person seen w/the victim within minutes of a disappearance? Odds are not good."

Google Occam's Razor if you're not familiar.

I'll add the JMO caveat. There is no good or happy answer - other than she ran off by herself and is safe or in hiding. I just don't see that happening.

Wasn't he seen on the camera driving away in his own car?

That's a big ? There are inconsistencies on what video they do have and don't have. They have definitely not released any videos of cars leaving. Maybe someone else knows better... Anyone else have a clearer understanding?

At this point I believe Christina's family, LE and TES are completely aware of everything that was happening in Christina's life. If and when the family chooses to speak to the Main Stream Media about any personal demons that Christina might have been struggling with then I would feel comfortable in discussing what role those demons might have played, if any, in her disappearance. Personally, I would not want to risk saying anything that might put her life in more peril than she might already be in at this moment right now. She is a beautiful young woman who had just graduated college and just beginning to live life as an independent adult. She is missing. Her family wants her home and so do we.

Ah, never mind. Drug addiction is prevalent, and people will go on binges for days and weeks on end and some people overdose. Since it could be a viable option to look at, I guess I'm just stupid and don't know what I'm talking about.

The bars close at 2am....my friends and I frequently were at these places (Martini Park, NYLO, Down Under Pub) until close. If we were in Frisco and they closed earlier, we moved to Plano for some more time. At 2am when everything closed it was either go home or friends offered you to come over and crash. I lived at Univ Park at the time and it was not smart to drive that far at that time - although, I did too make that late night trek to be in my own bed. Just not at 4am.

I don't find the late night/bar hopping odd. I don't find crashing at someone's place odd. She was not originally going to go home, so being at her friends at 4a and then changing her mind, while not completely logical, is not odd. This guy deciding to leave at the same time she changes her plans.... to "not" walk her to her car? JMO

I don't believe we know if the place where the "party" was held was where she had planned to spend the night. If I'm wrong, would someone link me to where it says she was going to stay there.

Thanks for your reply. I did feel like she was a little flaky when she kept outing her own sister as a heroin addict.

 

[bwt42]

To those posters commenting on going to a friends house to sober up, would you characterize that experience as a "party"?

 

[Topcat]

I just want to step back a second and ask if her car had any "personalized" features on it(dashboard ornament,bumper sticker/window permit, etc)? My reasoning is if she did not then nobody would be able to ID it as hers(unless they knew her tag #). Also who would know she had changed her plans to stay with friends and leave to get her dog (especially at 4 am) ? My point is a stalker would have to know her car and know she was leaving at 4 am. If there weren't many cars in that garage at 4 am and someone was sitting in a car, would her friend hear a car start up/a car door close/see headlights come on? How many hours till daylight?

Now they are using drones. I can't understand why they are focusing on the area around the mall. Why would they think she would still be there? Think about it: A girl heads to her car in the parking garage at 4 am and then decides to go walking around the neighborhood instead? Does that make any sense? No. It's obvious she got into a car, willingly or otherwise, and could be anywhere now. I just don't understand all the searching around the mall.

I think if they found something they considered valuable, they would have LE check it out. In my experience as a volunteer, they use volunteers to weed out other areas while they focus on specific places themselves. They don't want volunteers contaminating evidence or missing something.

I agree... 1st floor parking inside the garage on the kick off to a 3 day weekend??? hhhmmmm!!!

Not hard to spot a Toyota silvery blue Celica 2 door.. of those that knew her.

We call it an after party, but in my experience they're all pretty low key. It's usually just a lot of "did you see that guy doing that thing.." etc. Talking about the night, MAYBE having a beer or smoking marijuana. NOT saying that's what they were doing, just saying my experiences. (sorry to keep reiterating that)

"girls night out"? I believe she left the bar around one in the morning to attend a "party" attended by males & females. She planned to spend the night away from home. The party lasted several hours. Only one person has come forward that attended this "party" & he did not discuss what went on there. Curious as to what occurred at this party & who was there. There's silence for a reason. JMO

Christina's sister kept outing Christina out??

 

[ssiegmund]

Police have said the guy who walked her to her car is not a person of interest. I think if they say that, they mean it and they have good reason to think that he is not a person of interest.

I think the group hanging out at someone's apartment after bar hopping is considered a "party". Not a planned party, but still a party. I don't think that's really relevant, unless someone left before her?

I feel a lot of time and resources are being spent searching this area when it's unlikely that she is still there.

You very well could have those details better. I'm not totally clear on the "agenda" for the evening. My understanding on the latter part of the evening was that she was not planning on going home and had changed clothes....then something happened (call/text) and she decided to go home. At which time, this friend/acquaintance decided to join her to walk back since they were parked in the same parking garage.

 

[txyorkiemom]

I thought it was phone calls. Is there another article that says texts now?

Christina's Parents said her last 15 calls went to her boyfriend in this published piece.

Investigators said there were no signs of foul play or a struggle near her car. Her last 15 phone calls went to her boyfriend, whom she lives with, but he never reported her missing, Morris' parents said.

They realized she was missing when her boss called.

Au contraire my dear Sal. You are not stupid and I dare would never say as much. You are wise in the ways of the world as am I. I am awaiting the release of the ID program. The private detective will look into this much more accurately than me as an armchair detective and many miles removed from the scene of the crime. Let's not cause the family any more pain than they are already experiencing for we have not walked in their shoes. Praying for the searchers to tread lightly, carry a BIG stick and bring Christina home.

Huumm
several years ago when my oldest was out doing the party scene and her "group of ex HS friends" ... I found several hookahs and smoke shop supplies at her apt when I was moving the rest of what was left of her belongings out of her apt.
My daughters apt was apparently the after party crash place. My daughter now admits that there was not a lot of good things that occurred over there.. Judgement was always impaired and "shady"people showing up that she never knew but was told by friends of friends they were "chill" (i think that means cool)
After her wounds were no longer infected and she was out of the hospital that is when little by little she opened up about how after one night "chillaxing" (I think that means after party) she woke up 2 days later to find her apt door open and her electronics ,leather couch ,food and purse gone..
I will let it stop there ... but this is why I am feeling so compelled to figure this case out..
I too have had too close of a call ..and my daughter violated.

Me too. She said it like 5 times and in a annoying way. Like we get it lady, you said that your last two comments on the page. Each time she talked it sounds so different. I automatically ignored her after her first two comments.
