Christine Marie Eastin was 19 when she disappeared the night of January 18, 1971, in Hayward, California. She was last seen about 10:00 p.m. after borrowing her ex-boyfriend’s 1969 Ford Maverick to run errands, including shopping and getting the car washed. She planned to pick up her ex-boyfriend from his job at a Jack in the Box that night but never arrived.

The next morning the Maverick was found locked and parked at Charlie’s Car Wash on Mission Boulevard. Papers from inside the car were scattered on the ground, her purse was locked inside, and the car appeared to have been freshly washed. Authorities quickly suspected foul play, and despite extensive searches there was no sign of Christine.

A 2019 witness reported seeing Christine allegedly abducted by two men at the car wash and described a white van marked West Coast Mirrors, supplying a sketch of the driver. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Christine, saw her that night, or has information about the van or those who worked at or visited Charlie’s Car Wash in January 1971, please come forward.
