Hannah Faith Blanchard, a 23-year-old woman from Blue Ridge, Texas, tragically lost her life on March 17, 2025. She was two-and-a-half months pregnant at the time of her death. Hannah was found deceased inside a trailer home on North State Highway 78 in Blue Ridge, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. Her passing has left a profound impact on her family and community, as she was known for her vibrant personality and deep love for her four-year-old daughter, Hazel.
Authorities
responded to a 911 call placed by Hannah’s boyfriend, 35-year-old Carl Stanley Chrisenberry, who claimed he had accidentally shot her. However, investigators did not find his explanation credible. Chrisenberry was arrested at the scene and charged with capital murder of multiple persons, which includes Hannah and her unborn child. His bond was set at $1.5 million. The Collin County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Family members have revealed that Hazel, Hannah’s young daughter, witnessed the tragic event and provided a detailed statement to investigators. Her testimony has been instrumental in shaping the case against Chrisenberry. Relatives also shared concerns about Chrisenberry’s behavior in the past, describing instances where he made aggressive and unsettling remarks.
Hannah’s loved ones are now preparing for legal proceedings while mourning her loss. They have emphasized her joy in motherhood and her excitement about welcoming a baby boy. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to assist with funeral expenses and support Hazel in the wake of her mother’s passing. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to bring justice for Hannah and her unborn child.
