Christina Darnell was 18 when she stopped answering calls after an argument with her boyfriend, Eric Dawon Matthews, on August 29, 1994. She had been living in a small Indianapolis apartment with Matthews and caring for their toddler; escalating abuse had earlier driven her to send the child to live with grandparents in Alabama. Three silent days after the fight, her mother reported her missing.

Matthews told police Christina had taken cash and left. No body, no crime scene, and no forensic corroboration followed, and the case stalled. In May 1998 Matthews was arrested in connection with murders in Louisiana; while in custody he confessed to those killings and to two 1994 Indianapolis cases, including saying he had disposed of Christina’s body in a trash bin but could not locate the remains. He was convicted in Louisiana and given life without parole; Christina’s body has never been recovered and Indiana records treat her disappearance as a homicide.

Does anyone from Indianapolis in 1994 remember Christina, the apartment she lived in, or anything about Eric Matthews from that time?
