Christina Zane was a 20-year-old woman from Mobile, Alabama, last known to have contact on April 28, 1982. NamUs lists her as Missing Person MP35083, with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office identified as the investigating agency.

Police say Gilchrist was the last person seen with her; he made several inculpatory statements and later, at trial, disputed his earlier accounts. A witness, Derenda Henderson, testified that Gilchrist told her he had killed Christina and hidden her body in a swampy, wooded area near Todd Acres Road and Kooiman Road. Christina’s body was never recovered.

Gilchrist was tried, his initial conviction was overturned on appeal, and he was retried in 1989 and again convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Despite that legal outcome, the location of Christina’s remains remains unresolved. If anyone knew Christina, where she lived, or has information about the area near Todd Acres Road and Kooiman Road in Mobile County, please come forward with what you remember.
