Christina "Tina" was a beautiful twelve year old girl. She was always quiet and shy with a very sweet personality. The simple things in life made Tina happy. She was the youngest of three children. She enjoyed playing basket ball and rollerblading with her older sister. Tina also loved to ride horses and playing with her dogs. On special occasions Tina would bake cakes and cookies for her family. Tina liked to dress in the latest fashion of clothes like the bell bottom jeans with flowers and butterflies. Christina will always be our baby girl and the younger sister. We know all of our questions will never be answered as to why our little girl was brutally murdered. But we do know that Christina is Heaven's gain and our loss. Christina is now one of God's precious angels. Christina will always be loved and missed deeply by her family and friends.

On June 21, 2000 Christina was walking home from a friend's house. Christina never made it home. She was only 200 yards from her home in Dobbin, Texas. A search team was formed with family, friends, community and several search and rescue teams. The search went on for a month from seven miles to fifteen miles extensive search to only find very few clues and no leads to Christina's whereabouts until July 21, 2000, one month later, when authorities got a lead to a person's house whom had been burning trash that never burnt trash before. Christina had been kidnapped and strangled to death and buried in a shallow grave less than a quarter mile from her home. Christina was then dug up and put into his house behind a chair.
