Christina Ann Battin, aged 14, disappeared on June 8, 2003, from her home in Thousand Palms, California. She was last seen the following day at the Red Roof Inn, leaving the hotel with an unidentified male described as approximately 22 years old, with a tattoo on his left arm, driving a blue Ford Explorer. Authorities initially suspected Christina might have run away, but there were growing concerns that she may have met with foul play, especially given the suspicious circumstances of her last sighting.
Christina was potentially a witness in an ongoing child molestation case against Douglas J. Marino, who was arrested about a month after her disappearance. Investigators had hoped to locate Christina to support the case, but her sudden disappearance complicated matters. Despite these connections, her whereabouts remain unknown, and her case is still classified as an unsolved missing person.
Christina is described as 5'4" to 5'6" tall, weighing around 100-110 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She may have dyed her hair brown or red. Her case remains open, and law enforcement continues to seek information that could shed light on what happened
