Christine Marie Ludwig, 43, was last seen on January 17, 2012, at a business in the 1400 block of Bluff Road in Richland County, South Carolina. She also saw her counselor that day; her husband last saw her on January 14 and spoke with her on January 18. After that communication, she vanished and has not been heard from since.

On January 18 her black 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe was found locked and empty in the Bi-Lo parking lot in the 7800 block of Garners Ferry Road in Columbia. There was no activity on her cell phone or financial accounts after her disappearance. She was described as a white female, 5 feet 7 inches, about 130 pounds, green eyes, blonde or red hair, with a scar near her right eye and a tribal tattoo on the right side of her abdomen. She had an unspecified medical condition.

An acquaintance told investigators they met Christine on January 17 and took her to an apartment complex on Forest Drive. The case remains open with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department and Christine is classified as an endangered missing person. Did anyone in the Columbia area see Christine or her vehicle around January 17–18, 2012?
