Christine Marie Sexton, a 36-year-old woman from Turlock, California, went missing under suspicious circumstances on April 17, 1989. She was last seen leaving the Office Cocktail Lounge after 2:00 a.m., accompanied by friends. Witnesses reported that she had a conversation with a man in the parking lot before getting into her 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and driving away. That was the last time anyone saw her.

Ten days after her disappearance, Sexton’s vehicle was found submerged in an irrigation canal near Turlock Lake. The car's windows were rolled up, the keys remained in the ignition, and some of her personal belongings, including clothing and groceries, were inside. However, her purse was missing, and no further trace of her was found. Despite an investigation, Sexton’s case remains unsolved, with authorities suspecting foul play, possibly linked to her connections with drug traffickers. Investigators believe they know who may have been responsible for her disappearance but have never charged anyone in relation to the case. Her fate remains a mystery to this day.
