US EditionNew Details in Case of Missing Arizona Girl Found Alive After 30 Years
Authorities confirmed Christina Marie Plante alive and closed a 32-year missing-person case after modern cold-case work produced new leads.
- Christina Marie Plante, who vanished from Payson, Arizona, at age 13 in May 1994, has been found alive 32 years later. Now 44, she was located after the Gila County Sheriff's Office announced the breakthrough on April 1.
- Originally classified as occurring under 'endangered and suspicious circumstances,' the case went cold after exhaustive searches failed to yield viable leads. The Gila County Sheriff Office Cold Case Unit later applied modern investigative techniques to develop the breakthrough.
- Captain Jamie Garrett, the investigator who contacted Plante to confirm her identity, revealed that she allegedly ran away with family help to escape her living situation. Garrett noted: "She said that was a long time ago, that was an old life."
- Investigators confirmed her identity, and her status as a missing person has been officially resolved. Out of respect for her privacy and well-being, the Office will not release additional details about her current circumstances.
- The Gila County Sheriff remains committed to "bringing long-awaited answers to families and communities" through its cold case unit. Investigators encourage anyone with information regarding other unresolved cases to come forward.
