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.
Odd, no mention of her.
No newspaper, news site sources given.
No missing persons list URL given.

Where?
Useful information (one hopes NOT) for future reference.
Their search is directed to The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children web site. Still no listing for her.
Now stop doubting and say a prayer for the family, please.
Well, I did also say "I do sincerely hope, in any event, that another young girl is has not been taken advantage of in the worst possible way. and "If the story is a bit 'confused'; then someone still has a problem and I hope this is resolved quickly as well."
Well, there does seem to be a problem; I just hope it is not someone taking advantage of 'good intentions'. OTOH, this would actually be better than the problem as presented. . .
Perhaps this sounds. . .'judgemental'; but really it is just for consideration. . .some reasonable 'discrimination' in trying to figure 'what is really happening here'.
