Christine Lynn Slinger was born on December 1, 1989, in the eastern Ohio area. Christine was always close to her family and friends growing up.

As a young adult, Christine would go on to have two children, a girl and then a boy. The girl’s father would ultimately get custody of her, but it seemed that custody did transfer back to Christina shortly before she vanished.

Her son has a different father, and little is known about him.

On August 20, 2017, Christina was visiting her mom’s house in Massillon Township, Ohio. Around 7:30 p.m., her daughter’s father- Steven Stafford- picked her up and was planning to take her back to his home in New Philadelphia, Ohio where their daughter was currently at.

Christina kissed her mom goodbye, and they both said their ‘I love you’s”. Christine walked out the door smiling at her mom, just before the front door closed, Christina said, ‘I’ll be back!’.

But Christina didn’t come back. In fact, Christina was never seen or heard from again.

Since we don’t know too much about her life growing up, let’s go back and start with her disappearance.

Where is Christine Slinger?
