A junior studying botany and ethnobotany at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, Christine had come to Humboldt County for a planned three-week holiday. She stayed, drawn to the area's natural beauty and a spiritual community. One week before she vanished, she participated in an illegal ayahuasca ceremony. Days later, she was found naked and covered in briar scratches on a stranger's doorstep, speaking of demons. She tested negative for drugs, was discharged, and began making plans to fly home. She was last seen on November 14, walking away from a copy centre on I Street, Eureka. Her belongings and untouched bank funds were later recovered. She has never been found.
