Christine Anne Guthrie was 32 when she was killed after leaving a Portland party on February 23, 1991. She went with John Fautenberry from the apartment of a man named Wes Halbrook to the Silver Sands Motel in Rockaway Beach, where the motel owner Anna Modrell saw them. After a few days at the motel they began returning to Portland. During that drive Fautenberry led Guthrie into a remote wooded area, allegedly to show her something, and shot her three times in the back of the head with a Jennings J 22 pistol. He then took her bank card and used it to withdraw cash in the days that followed.

Guthrie’s body was not found until April 1, 1991, near the logging community of Timber, Oregon. Fautenberry was arrested on March 16, 1991, in Juneau, Alaska, for the murder of Jefferson Diffee; during interrogation he confessed to Guthrie’s killing and to several other murders across multiple states. Does anyone have information about Guthrie’s last days or recognition of the motel owner’s account?
