17 year old Loudoun County Girl Gone. Missing Since Friday

A 17 Year old Loudoun County girl has been missing since Friday, December 12, 2003. Christa was last seen Friday morning at Dulles Town Center Mall in Sterling, Virginia. She had driven to the mall in a 1993 green Ford Escort Wagon and developed car trouble along the way. She arrived at the mall at approximately 10:00 am, went in to pick up a package and was seen as very distraught by associates in the mall. She was given directions to a local auto parts store in Sterling and left the mall with her package. She has not been seen since.

The car she was driving was found on Shaker Woods at Wiehle Avenue in Reston, Virginia. According to neighbors, the car was left around 11:00 am parked in a turn lane at a 45 degree angle and must have been left in neutral gear as it apparently rolled into a ditch and became stuck later that afternoon. The car was found Saturday afternoon by Fairfax County Police unlocked with the keys in the ignition and her package still in the backseat.

Her family was notified and retrieved the vehicle. Friends and family have had no word from her at all.

Leesburg Police Officer, Corey Smith is heading up the investigation into Christa?s disappearance. Police have actively pursued several leads but have had no luck into locating the missing girl.

Christa is 5?7? tall, reddish brown hair, medium build. She wears braces and occasionally wire-rimmed glasses. She is possibly wearing a yellow and navy blue Tommy Hilfiger jacket and jeans.

Her distraught family and friends are desperately appealing to the public to give any information regarding Christa and her whereabouts to the Leesburg Police Department or any Local law enforcement agency as she is listed regionally as a missing person.

[JustPiper]

I hate when people post and play Freeper's, I hope in this situation tis not true because God does not like ugly!

[Freedom2specul8]

Ditto to that! These parents need all the help and prayers they can get. Can you remember which freepers were trying to start an adult amber alert system? I would have loved to assisted with that..

[Freedom2specul8]

Thanks for that link...am going to check it out for sure.

[Devil_Anse]

I think I do remember something about that. I think it was people on that Alice Donovan thread!

[JustPiper]

I checked amber alert,nothing on Child Find,checked database on Nat. Center for Missing and Exploited Children for VA,no one named Christa. 2700 children go missing everyday and there is no report on her!

[JustPiper]

I'm glad but sad there has been confirmation.

[JustPiper]

Why is she not listed at the National Center?

[JustPiper]

Lady's son Richard was a Freeper miracle ;)

"I figured I wouldn't be able to sleep so I called the Leesburg PD."

That was a good idea. It's always good to get a direct confirmation...if one has doubts. Ya helped everyone..thank you.

[Freedom2specul8]

I think you're right. I'm embarrassed to have forgotten the names. They were on the peterson threads a lot...
