Christine Starrine Byrd, 42, was last seen on May 27, 1992, in Tyler, Texas. She disappeared under unusual circumstances, leaving food cooking on the stove in her home on Pineburr Road. Her personal belongings, including a significant amount of jewelry worth approximately $25,000, were left behind. There were no signs of forced entry, suggesting that Byrd may have known the person or persons involved in her disappearance.
Authorities have explored potential connections between Byrd's disappearance and the high-profile kidnapping and murder of eight-year-old Chad Choice, who was abducted from his home in Tyler in November 1991. Investigators suspect that Byrd may have had knowledge related to the case, which could have led to her abduction and possible murder. Patrick Horn, later convicted for Chad Choice’s murder, has been considered a suspect in Byrd's case as well, though no definitive evidence has linked him or others to her disappearance. Byrd’s case remains unsolved, and her whereabouts are still unknown.
The Tyler Police Department continues to investigate the case, urging anyone with information to come forward as her disappearance is still considered an active and open investigation.Last Seen: May 22, 1992
