Christina Lee White was 12 when she disappeared in Asotin, Washington, on April 28, 1979. She spent the morning at the Asotin County Fair and parade with her mother and younger sister, then went to a friend’s house in the 500 block of 2nd Street to help prepare a horse. Around 2:30 p.m. she called her mother, saying she felt ill from the heat; her mother, without access to a car, told her to rest and then walk to a nearby corner to be met. Christina never reached that meeting spot and was not seen again.

That evening, schoolmates reported seeing Christina between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m., apparently on her way home, still riding the brand-new white ten-speed Schwinn bicycle she had received for her birthday eight weeks earlier. Weeks later, Christina’s school papers were found scattered at a farm on the outskirts of Asotin. No arrests were ever made and the case remains unsolved.

Authorities have said Christina’s disappearance may be connected to a series of disappearances and a 1981 murder in the Lewis-Clark Valley. Investigators identified a person of interest who reportedly lived at the friend’s home where Christina was last seen and who had ties to the Lewiston Civic Theatre; he has been interviewed several times and denies involvement. Does anyone who lived in Asotin or the Lewiston area in 1979 remember seeing Christina, her bicycle, or anyone acting suspiciously that day?
