Christina Lynn Roof, 27, of Everett, Washington, disappeared in early spring 1996 after a series of puzzling events in Whatcom County. On March 2, 1996 she was denied entry into Canada at the crossing north of Lynden; she was reportedly en route to visit her father in British Columbia and was under the legal guardianship of her mother because of a diagnosed mental disability. Her last confirmed whereabouts trace to March 1996.

On March 24, 1996 Christina’s silver and black 1986 Mazda 626 was found abandoned at the end of Froberg Road, about 300 yards south of the U.S.–Canada border. That same evening a Canadian resident told the Royal Canadian Mounted Police they had seen a distraught woman identifying herself as Christina standing in the middle of Old Yale Road in British Columbia; officers arriving at the scene did not locate her. An extensive search produced no evidence of foul play and no subsequent contact from Christina.

The sequence — denied border entry, an abandoned car very near the boundary, and an unconfirmed sighting of a distressed woman in Canada — leaves key questions open. If anyone saw Christina around Lynden, Froberg Road, or Old Yale Road in March 1996, please come forward with what was seen or remembered.
