Christine Ann Nelson was 36 when she was last seen in Eugene, Oregon, on August 24, 1986. She rode away on a 1973 Honda 500 motorcycle with Oregon plates and never returned. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation that remains active.

She is described as a White female, 5 feet 10 inches, about 150 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes and wire-frame glasses. Distinguishing marks include a scar on her right knee, scars on her chin and above her right eye, a mole on her chin and a dimple on her right cheek. On the day she vanished she wore a striped shirt, gray pants, a black leather jacket, two-tone black Nike athletic shoes and is believed to have been wearing a gold helmet.

DNA from her mother and sister has been collected to help with future identification. Few concrete leads have been reported and the circumstances of her disappearance remain unresolved. If anyone knew Christine, saw her motorcycle that day, or has information that could help, please get in touch with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office.
