Shocking reports are speaking about a woman who disappeared nearly three decades ago from a small mountain community in Arizona in the year 1994. She was recently found, safe and sound.
The young girl at the time was 13-year-old Christina Marie Plante, who is now 44 years old. She was located and identified this week, bringing the decades-old missing persons case to a happy ending.
Plante was last seen in May of 1994 after leaving her residence in the Payson-Star Valley area northeast of Phoenix to walk a nearby stable where her horse was kept. Her shocking disappearance was classified during that time as occurring under endangered and suspicious circumstances.
An extensive search operation was rolled out at the time, involving the cops, volunteers, and interviews, but none of them produced any kind of viable leads, and the case went cold all of a sudden. But it was never closed formally, and the investigation was soon assigned to the Gila County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Unit.
