Christine Starrine Byrd, 42, was last seen on May 27, 1992, at her home on Pineburr Road in Tyler, Texas. She reportedly left food cooking on the stove and a large amount of jewelry, valued at about $25,000, behind. There were no signs of forced entry, which led investigators to consider that she may have known whoever took her.

Authorities have examined possible links between Byrd’s disappearance and the November 1991 abduction and murder of eight-year-old Chad Choice. Investigators suspected that Byrd might have had information related to that case and that knowledge could have played a role in her disappearance. Patrick Horn, later convicted in Chad Choice’s murder, has been considered a suspect in Byrd’s case, though no definitive evidence has tied him or anyone else to her disappearance.

Byrd’s whereabouts remain unknown and the Tyler Police Department continues to treat the case as an active investigation. If anyone knew Christine, her routines, or has information about that time and place, please share what is known with authorities.
