Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22547) and 4 other sources
On a summer day in Tacoma, Washington, on August 26, 1994, a 27-year-old woman named Christine May Willis seemingly vanished. At the time of her disappearance, she had red or auburn hair and brown eyes. Christine was a resident of the Puget Sound Mini-Care Group home located at 2118 S. Ainsworth. On that particular day, she informed others that she was going out for a walk.

Clad in an orange shirt and turquoise stretch pants, Christine left the group home and was never seen or heard from again. Her departure for a simple walk turned into an enduring mystery that has left her loved ones without answers for decades. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are sparse, with no clear indication of foul play or a voluntary departure. The case was reported to the Tacoma Police Department on the same day she went missing, sparking an investigation that has unfortunately grown cold over time.

The official investigation into Christine's disappearance was handled by the Tacoma Police Department. Despite their efforts, the case remains unsolved, one of many cold cases in the Tacoma area. The lack of significant leads or any new evidence has left the investigation at a standstill. Christine Willis's case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving a void in the lives of those they left behind. Her story is one of unanswered questions and the enduring hope that one day, information will surface to explain what happened to her after she left for her walk.
