<<Torres recalled the panic and confusion when Christina didn't pick up her own daughter or call the rest of her family members before the New Year in 2000. They filed a missing persons report with police. Cynthia said a week later, investigators found her car off of I-37 near Mathis.

"Once they found her car, then I knew something was wrong, I knew something had happened to her," Cynthia said.

Cynthia said there was a handwritten note on her car which read 'don't look for me,' in her handwriting. Later, investigators discovered another note in Christina's work locker which allegedly explained how she wanted to start over.

Cynthia said she was aware that her sister wanted to move away and start anew, but not without her young daughter.

"She would not leave her daughter behind, she would've at least told me something like you know, I'm gonna go out of town or just something you know, just gonna go for a week just to get away, she would've said something," she said.

All of this lead Cynthia and her remaining family members to believe that Christina isn't alive. Although everyone who was close to her was questioned, Cynthia said nothing ever came out of it. >>
