Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP18217) and 4 other sources
On a cold and snowy Christmas Eve in 1983, 31-year-old Christine Ann Civille was last seen in Conway, Washington. She was living on a houseboat on the Skagit River at the time. Reports from that day indicate she was with her boyfriend in a small boat on the North Fork of the Skagit River, heading towards their houseboat near a place called Fish Town. The motor on their boat reportedly froze up, and Christine was let off on a sandbar near the end of Landing Road. The temperature was brutally cold, estimated to be between 0 and 10 degrees. She was expected to walk to her car and then go to a home in LaConner. Christine was wearing a blue down-hooded jacket, green wool overall pants, unbleached wool sweaters, and rubber 'Iron Duke' boots with lug soles. She also wore eyeglasses with silver wire rims.

The circumstances following Christine's departure from the small boat remain unclear. She never made it to her car, and tragically, has not been heard from since that frigid evening. Extensive search and rescue efforts were launched in the wake of her disappearance but proved unsuccessful in locating her. Investigators found some of her personal belongings, including her car keys, in the area where she was reportedly last seen. This discovery suggested that she did not get far from the riverbank. The Charley Project, a database for missing persons, notes that few details are available in her case, highlighting the mysterious nature of her disappearance. The Skagit County Sheriff's Office has maintained an open investigation into her case over the decades.

The case of Christine Civille is a haunting one, marked by the lack of concrete evidence and the harsh conditions on the night she vanished. The official narrative states she disappeared near the Skagit River, but no proven circumstances are available to explain what happened to her. Her case is listed among the unsolved missing person files by the Skagit County Sheriff's Office, a somber reminder of a life interrupted. Despite the passage of time, the investigation remains open, with her DNA on file for comparison should any new evidence emerge. The ambiguity and lack of resolution in Christine's disappearance continue to leave a void for her family and the community, a poignant story of a woman who vanished into a cold winter's night.
