Plano police searching for woman who disappeared from Shops at Legacy
September 4, 2014

PLANO -- Police are searching for a 23-year-old woman who disappeared from a popular shopping center over the weekend.

Officer David Tilley tells News 8 that Christina Marie Morris, who lives in Fort Worth, was last seen leaving a friend's apartment with another friend and walking toward a parking garage at the Shops of Legacy in Plano just before 4 a.m. Saturday.
It took two days for friends and family to connect the dots and realize she wasn't returning anyone's calls. Police were made aware of her disappearance on Tuesday.
 ::snipping3::
Tilley says Morris' car, a Toyota Celica coupe, was found in the parking garage of the shopping center. He adds that her cell phone is dead, but investigators are trying to locate the last connection it made.
Police also plan to check Morris' bank records and surveillance video from the parking garage.
 ::snipping3::
Police say the search will resume Friday. But they're waiting on investigators to narrow down what other areas need to be searched.

Plano Police Continue Search for Missing Woman
September 5, 2014

 ::snipping3::
According to police, Morris had been visiting friends on the 5700 block of Scruggs Way. She was last seen early Saturday morning walking with a friend into a parking garage a few blocks away at 5715 Legacy Drive.
Police said officers checked the area and found Morris's silver Toyota Celica.
Morris's employer told police that she has not been to work and detectives determined that she has not contacted friends or relatives. Police said she has not returned home and all attempts to locate her have been unsuccessful.
On Thursday, the Morris family was at the garage where her car was found.
"It is just tough," said Christina's father, Mark Morris.
The family said Christina Morris is always in touch with them, but hadn't been as much the past few days.
"We didn't think anything of it because it was Labor Day weekend. People have things going on," said Anna Morris.
Thursday evening, a search team of more than 50 volunteers, mostly made up of friends, fanned out to scour a wooded area selected by Plano police.
The search area is bounded by Parkwood Boulevard and Hedgcoxe Road and is located a short distance away from the parking garage where Morris' car was found.
Police requested the team of volunteers to help locate any potential evidence or belongings of Morris' that may have been discarded by an assailant.
"Hopefully we're gonna find her alive. That's the main hope that we have. But there's always the unknown," said Quinn Meredith, who referred to Morris as a "friend-of-a-friend."
Meredith volunteered to use his all-terrain vehicle to search the fields and along the tree lines.
One group of volunteers located some clothes in a field, which will be tagged as potential evidence, according to David Tilley, with the Plano Police Department. The clothes, however, do not match the description of what Morris was last known to be wearing.

Surveillance footage released of missing North Texas woman
September 5, 2014

Plano police released surveillance camera video that captured the final minutes a 23-year-old North Texas woman was seen before she disappeared last week.

Christina Morris was last seen early the morning of Aug. 30 in a parking garage at the Shops at Legacy in Plano after leaving a friend's apartment.

Morris had gone to Henry's Tavern at the Shops at Legacy and then to a nearby apartment for a party. Around 3 a.m., Morris and a friend walked to their cars in the parking garage, but went their separate ways.

Morris' car was later found in the parking garage, still locked, but there was no sign of her.

No one has heard from Morris since that day, and her cell phone appears to have been turned off or run out of battery.

Plano police said they are investigating the case as a suspicious disappearance.

Missing woman's mother: 'She is my everything'
September 6, 2014

PLANO -- Christina Morris' mother is back at it -- going business to business -- hoping someone at the Shops at Legacy in Plano saw something that will help bring her daughter home safe.
 ::snipping3::
She says her daughter drove to Plano from Fort Worth to be with friends. One of them walked her back to a parking lot around 4 a.m., but they didn't walk her all the way to her car.
Morris never made it home. Her car was found in the same spot.
 ::snipping3::
She told News 8 Friday that her daughter's last 15 calls the night she disappeared were to her boyfriend, who she lives with in Fort Worth.

"Us, as parents, do not understand why he did not pick up the phone and let us know that our child never made it home," her mother said.


She says it took her days to realize something wasn't right.

"He said he's ashamed. He says he's upset. He wished he would have called us," she said.

Morris missed work this week, and phone calls weren't returned, so her mother called police. And while the family is left wondering who took Morris and where -- women who work in the area say they're watching their backs.

"There are a lot of gals who work here and I think this is going to be in the back of their minds for a long time," Lash Lounge employee Vanessa Dickinson said.
 ::snipping3::
Plano police are taking a hard look at video from surveillance cameras in the area, but Morris' mom says the images are so grainy, it's hard to make out much.

What she can see, she says, is her daughter walking into the parking garage, but never coming out.

Family and friends decided to meet at 11 p.m. Friday to retrace Christina's steps and also hand out small cards with her picture on it.

They hopefully are questioning her friend who was in the surveillance camera video with her.   That friend looks like a guy.  His car needs to be gone over, IMO.

Absolutely agree, Klaas. 

But I'm wondering about the boyfriend too.  Where was he?  If she was supposed to be on her way home, and he was there, what took so long?!!!  I haven't read a lot about this, but I'm pretty sure I read they live together in Fort Worth?

“We’re basically four days behind the eight-ball already in trying to locate her,” Tilley said, since Morris was not reported missing until 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 2. “We’ve not been able to locate her by telephone and are in the process of checking bank records. The last bank record we saw was from Friday night.”

Plano police have released a brief clip of the garage surveillance video showing Christina and a friend walking into the parking garage just before 4 a.m. Saturday… and shows them parting ways.

“He goes to the right to his car. He gets in his car and he leaves,” says Officer David Tilley, a Plano Police spokesperson. “She went the other way. From there, we don’t really know what happened.”

According to Plano police, the friend that accompanied Christina into the garage was questioned multiple times and has cooperated with every request. He is not considered a suspect.

In looking back on her FB, it looks like Christina had been in a long term relationship before her current boyfriend.

No idea if it's the same Hunter or not.  But wondering if maybe he'd been a roommate of the couple before he and Christina's relationship?

Thinking of possible love triangle or jealousy issues.

Search Continues for Texas Woman Who Vanished After Party
Sep 6, 2014, 11:17 AM ET


The search continues today for a Texas woman who vanished after attending a party a week ago.

Christina Morris was last seen in the parking garage of a shopping center in Plano, Texas. Friends and family have posted flyers and retraced her steps since her disappearance.

"Christina, wherever you're at, I miss you so much," her mother, Jonni McElroy, said through tears.

Surveillance video captured Morris, 23, walking with a friend in the parking garage at 4 a.m. last Saturday. But Morris was never seen leaving the garage.

<snipped>

Investigators said there were no signs of foul play or a struggle near her car. Her last 15 phone calls went to her boyfriend, whom she lives with, but he never reported her missing, Morris' parents said.

They realized she was missing when her boss called.

"We were already behind the curve on this because [of] getting it four days late, so we had a lot of catching up to do," said David Tilley with the Plano Police Department.

Police said Morris' bank accounts haven't been accessed and her cell phone is off. Their best leads are the drivers of three cars seen in the parking garage that same morning.

"You can't tell any of the cars apart, which is really frustrating because I feel like that could be a big lead of ours," McElroy said. "Please, if you have her, I need my daughter back. I need her back. I'm begging you."

Police said the friend of Morris who was last seen with her isn't a person of interest.

Family seeks answers in woman's disappearance
Christina Marie Morris last seen going into parking garage in Plano, Texas
Author: By Shelby Lin Erdman and Carma Hassan CNN
Published On: Sep 06 2014 12:42:07 PM CDT   Updated On: Sep 06 2014 01:31:54 PM CDT

Morris, 23, lives in Fort Worth but was visiting friends in Plano, about 50 miles away, when she disappeared on August 30, according to her family. Relatives reported her missing on Tuesday night, four days after she was last seen.

Morris' parents filed a missing persons report on their daughter late Tuesday, according to police.

Morris was last seen by a friend, who walked her to a parking garage at the Shops at Legacy mall just before 4 a.m., but he did not walk her all the way to her car, police said.

She appears on surveillance video walking into the parking garage with the friend, police said.

"The guy ... is a friend of hers from high school. They had been at a friend's apartment hanging out and walked back together," Plano police spokesman David Tilley said Saturday.

Police said Morris' cell phone is either dead or turned off. "We have been able to track the phone's last known location and that was in the Shops at Legacy," Tilley said.

Her boyfriend, Hunter Foster, put out a plea on his Facebook page this week asking for help finding Morris. "I'm worried sick and will do anything to get any information on the last time anyone has seen or talked to her please help and pray that she is ok," he said in a posting Tuesday. "Police are involved and we are going to find her and whoever has taken her or whoever she is with."

 ::snipping3::

While no signs of foul play have been reported, Plano residents, particularly those who frequent or live at the Shops at Legacy, are concerned.

"The majority of all incidents that we have that are crimes against another person have not been stranger on stranger. The offender has been a known offender," Tilley said. "That doesn't mean that this cannot be that small percentage, however we have nothing to prove one way or the other at this point."

Tilley advised people, especially women, against walking to a vehicle or across a parking lot alone, especially late at night.

"There's safety in numbers," he said. "You have to be aware of your surroundings. ... This stuff can happen in an instant."

Plano PD is also working with North Texas Transit Authority (NTTA) to get license plate numbers on vehicles that may have used the Tollway around that the time Morris was last seen.

 ::snipping3::

“She’s gone off the radar before, but every time she’s … at least contacted me, my mom or my dad,” said Jake Morris, Christina’s younger brother. “My mom came into my room while I was doing homework and told me she heard from [Christina’s] work that she hasn’t shown up and no one’s heard from her. … I started thinking about it and it’s different ... Nothing like this has ever happened.”

Christina is a salesperson and company photographer at Great Expectations, a Fort Worth professional dating service, Jake said.

“She’s always punctual and on time,” he said. “It feels like a part of [me] is missing. We’re so close that it just feels empty. She’s a bubbly, lively person. She’s very small, and that’s kind of scary also, but she’s a good person.”

    Hi all, I've been anxiously waiting to contribute to this thread and finally was approved by the mods.

    I am an old friend of Christina's. We used to hang out a lot back in the day and I saw her randomly at school after we lost touch. I am in shock because I ran into her the night she went missing. What are the chances of that? I hadn't seen her in almost three years prior.

    I got to the Shops a little after 11pm and I actually saw her walking from the same garage as me near Henry's. At the time, I didn't know it was her, but I remember her flowy outfit. She walked into Henry's right before me with two girls.

    I want to say around 11:30 or 12, we saw each other near the bar near the patio. We were catching up a bit when two guys approached us. One talked to me and the other to her. The one talking to me said, "I see you're not holding a drink!" I replied, "It's over there on the table." I can't remember what else he said, but I didn't want them talking to us so I told him my boyfriend was right behind him (he really was). The guy was a smart ass and said, "Oh, do you want me to meet him?" This whole time, I didn't hear anything the other guy said to Christina. After his smart ass remark, the conversation went flat and Christina said, "I'm going back to my friends." I gave her a huge hug and whispered in her ear, "Those guys are so annoying!" And she said, "I know!" We parted ways and said our goodbyes.

    I texted her mom and told her the gist of this small ordeal. Is this really significant? Most likely not, but I figured anything helps to retrace some steps. I truly think that this was not a random person and that someone she knows was involved. But the tiny chance this is significant, I'd want it to be known.

    I really don't think she would have driven home drunk. Christina is really responsible and I truly have nothing bad to say about her. When we were closer, she worked a lot. I'm pretty sure she paid her way through college herself, which is impressive for someone that graduated from a great university on time.

    There was no signs she was distressed about anything. She seemed happy and normal.

    Not only does this hit close to home because she is a friend, but for those that don't know her, this is crazy to happen in Plano. Plano is one of the safest cities in the country! The Shops are a common hang out for Plano folks and has always felt safe. I can't tell you how many times I've driven there alone and met up with friends and walked back to my car alone.

    It's been a week and I'm scared, anxious and obsessed with this right now, to be honest. I just want her home safe.

    To address the karma comment and avoid any conspiracy theories on that since it has been mentioned before on the thread...you can see she was calm replying to that comment. The guy who commented that is a friend of her ex-boyfriend. Not to get into too much specifics, but they had a messy breakup and that's where that comment came from. I assure you this is all irrelevant to this case. Also, her ex is not someone that would be a person of concern.

    I have not addressed LE directly, but I texted Christina's mom all the details, as well as briefly spoke with her on the phone last night. She is of course actively looking for her daughter and I'm sure my information has been passed along to LE.

    Like others have said, this area is under high surveillance. If the cameras were as blurry where they couldn't see anything inside the parking garage (the released video seemed quite clear to me, so it makes you wonder), there are cameras at every light in the area. I have hope that LE is just withholding information as not to jeopardize the case.

Search expands for missing woman in Plano
Lauren Zakalik, 10:51 p.m. CDT September 6, 2014

PLANO — There is nothing easy about this search.

"I will crawl," declared Jonni McElroy, "I will crawl through these weeds... whatever I have to do to find her."

On Saturday, the thunder rolled and the rain came down in Plano, but it didn't stop McElroy from wading through thorns and six-foot weeds as she tried to find any sign of her missing daughter, Christina Morris. The 23-year-old from Fort Worth vanished more than a week ago from the Shops at Legacy in Plano.

There are missing person fliers plastered all over the area, but to McElroy, that's not enough — so she searches.

"I have a lot of anxiety going on right now," she said. "I want to find something, but I don't want to find something. It's scary."

Saturday was the third full day that friends and family searched for Morris. They started a little after noon near the intersection of Preston and Hedgcoxe roads, northeast of where Morris was last seen.

"There's loads and piles of dirt we've looked under," said family friend Kim Brown, who came to search from Houston. "We dug in one that looked like a grave."

No idea if one has anything to do with the other, but I remembered seeing this when I read about the search tomorrow...  I'd google mapped the distance when I first read it and it's about 12 miles from where she was last seen.

If the text is right. That scares me. It seems to me that there are a lot of drownings here in Texas at the lakes. More so than I remember in California. But how did she get to Lewisville Lake if she left her car in Plano. But if what this guy says is true why not call the police rather than putting out there on social media.

Very strange.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

When I was in County Jail many years ago, they took 2 mugs of me too. But one was with the height chart behind me...the other was in front of a concrete wall.

Sarah Riordan I think searching the lake areas is a great idea. Should do trinity next. I dont believe she is in plano. Better chance of finding her in fort worth, where the bf lives, or at least on the way to fort worth, starting with lake lewisville. He could have picked her up in plano, since her car is still there and there were 15 calls to him right before she came up missing. he failed to mention her disappearance, and also acted like they were still together happily to friends and family once the word got out about christina missing, when she had been crying at work friday, bc she found out he was cheating and they were actually in a huge fight. I think he or someone he knows picked her up, so moving away from plano and towards fort worth seems more logical

McElroy says she thinks info she received saying her daughter had been at Lewisville Lake prior to disappearing in Plano were a "diversion"

    Hi all, I have sporadically been reading all the new posts on here. I was able to go search with everyone today, but I left early and am home now. Some of y'all are reading too much into things, so I would like to clear these thoughts up.

    We met at Lake Lewisville and looked around for about an hour, and then we had a meeting. Yes, Christina's mom believes we were diverted there, but her gut instinct is she would be in Allen. She grew up there, as did most of her friends. It would make sense if someone she knew is involved that there would be evidence in that city.

    I also learned today that Christina WAS NOT at Lake Lewisville Friday or even after she was seen on camera at 4AM in the garage. This was believed by everyone prior, but she was actually at the lake on WEDNESDAY with her boyfriend. This is another reason why it was deemed less important to search there today. I believe it would be less likely that she would go back there after 4AM, but they still have people there searching. Before our meeting there, everyone searched all the dumpsters which had not been cleared out since before Christina had disappeared. They found nothing. The picture of Christina in a black swimsuit under that sheer top was most likely taken that Wednesday she went to the lake, but that is just my opinion.

    We met at Allen High School -- we did NOT search the high school. This was just a central location where we could organize and split up. We did search all the parks and creeks close by, as well as drive to other locations in Allen. We found no clues whatsoever.

    As far as the parking garage surveillance goes, they were not able to identify any of the cars because they were so grainy. I was told that there are two other cameras in that garage, but they were not working. This too is not confirmed, but just something I heard today.

    One thing that I have learned today being around her closet friends is there is so many details that are left out of the public, social media, this thread, etc. There are also many things that have been reported wrong. I wish I could clear all of these up, but I believe this may jeopardize the case. I will say that I think the police know what they are doing and are privately handling the investigation as not to scare away any perps.

    If anyone would like to help, they are still searching the Allen area and expanding to other lakes, forestry, etc. in Dallas. I believe some of my friends are on their way to Lake Lavon, where they all used to hang out before. Everyone is physically and emotionally drained and would appreciate any help we can get. Thank you.

He could have picked her up in plano, since her car is still there and there were 15 calls to him right before she came up missing. he failed to mention her disappearance, and also acted like they were still together happily to friends and family once the word got out about christina missing, when she had been crying at work friday, bc she found out he was cheating and they were actually in a huge fight. I think he or someone he knows picked her up, so moving away from plano and towards fort worth seems more logical

Story of missing Christina Marie Morris Truly bizarre disappearance with so many strange twists ...

Who walks a girl back to her car and does not make sure she gets into the car and leaves? When you walk a girl to her car who is not your girlfriend/spouse/etc you generally do it for two reasons: 1) make sure they get to their car safe 2) plan on hooking up with said girl. Who is to say that he walked her to her car?

Also, anyone know if the stairwells had cameras?

The fact that the boyfriend did not report missing is a real red flag. Who does that? Is this a case where the boyfriend stalked her and waited in the parking garage?

Way too many questions. People don't just vanish unless some one knows where the cameras are and used the zones where there was no surveillance coverage.

BBM  Exactly!  Walk them back to their car, watch while they get in car, make sure it starts and then be sure they're able to leave.

UPDATED [4:05 p.m. Sept. 8]: Where is Christina Morris?

Christina Morris was last seen around 3:55 a.m. Aug. 30

Updated (4:05 p.m. Sept. 8 ):

Despite volunteer searches yesterday at Lewisville Lake and Allen High School, no clues have been found to indicate the whereabouts of Christina Morris.

Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman, said it's his understanding that Morris' boyfriend, Hunter Foster, was in town over the weekend to help distribute flyers.

"He's been totally cooperative," Tilley said. "We've talked to him several times."


Also joining the investigation is Texas EquuSearch, a search and rescue organization dedicated to searching for missing persons.

"We have communicated with them already and given them a lot of information based on what we've got to try to help them determine where to start looking," Tilley said. "I think right now they're actually looking at maps, looking at the area and trying to get some ideas. They are highly trained in the search of missing or deceased persons. ... We've told them the areas we've already searched and from there they'll determine [where to look next]. It's a mounted search and rescue team; they can cover a lot more ground."

While Texas EquuSearch and volunteers continue to search high and low for any sign of Morris, Plano PD is following up on tips they're getting through Facebook, social media and news media.

"We're going to continue following up on those tips, and the primary investigators are going to continue on with their indepth investigation speaking to the people that were originally there," Tilley said. "[We're] going beyond the recent, going back a little further. Maybe someone had a beef with her awhile back. ... There's still a lot of area to cover. We have not, by any stretch of the imagination, reached a dead end."

Tilley said law enforcement agencies in Frisco, The Colony, Allen, McKinney and other local areas have been made aware of the investigation.

"We do believe in miracles, but we're not going to sugarcoat anything. It doesn't look good after this amount of time," Tim Miller with Texas Equusearch said.

PLANO — A new batch of volunteers gathered Tuesday morning at a church as the search for 23-year-old Christina Morris continues.

The search for the Fort Worth woman, who was last seen at the Shops at Legacy in Plano on Aug. 30, resumed in areas difficult to cover by foot -- such as the wooded areas around the shopping center.

MORE: Stories about the search for Christina Morris

A highly skilled search team from Houston that's helped with high-profile cases, like the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, has come to help. Holloway was a teenager who vanished from a high school graduation trip to Aruba.

"We do believe in miracles, but we're not going to sugarcoat anything. It doesn't look good after this amount of time," Tim Miller with Texas Equusearch said.

Morris disappeared Labor Day weekend after a night out with friends. Surveillance video from a parking lot at the Shops at Legacy shows her walking to her car around 4 in the morning, but never coming out. Her car was found parked inside.

Miller says he knows what Morris' family is going through.

"My own daughter disappeared -- was gone 17 months and, unfortunately, her body was found along with three other girls," he said. "I made a promise to God and Lord that I'd never leave a family alone."

Miller says he's using every resource possible to find Morris. He's sending out teams on foot, ATV's and horseback. They're concentrating on isolated areas.

He's also planning on flying a drone, and says if breaking the law gives Morris' family a better shot at finding her, it's worth it. He says drone airplanes have already helped him locate the remains of 11 people.    ::snipping3::

He says that He and Christina moved in together in August 2013 after dating a year but they broke up in October after she started dating Hunter Foster (his best friend).

Anna Morris, said her stepdaughter would have told her if she was going to take a spontaneous trip.

“She didn’t hide things,” she said. “She would have let us know for this exact reason.”

Anna Morris said she has helped raise her stepdaughter since she was 3.

“She’s unforgettable,” she said. “She’s a tiny little thing, but she has a huge presence. She’s lively. She’s loved.”

Anna Morris lives with her husband in Allen, where Christina went to Allen High School with her ex-boyfriend Aaron Logan Prendergast.

‘Everyone wants her home’

Prendergast and Morris moved in together in August 2013 after dating for a year, Prendergast said. But they broke up in October when Morris started dating his best friend, who is her current boyfriend.

“They started dating while we were still living together,” Prendergast said.

Plano police have said the current boyfriend is not a suspect.

Prendergast said he has communicated with criminal investigators twice since Morris disappeared and believes that she must have left the parking garage with someone else because her Toyota Celica coupe was still there.

Police said the car shows no sign of foul play.

Morris and her boyfriend live in the 4000 block of Lafayette Avenue near Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth.

The couple co-owns an urban clothing line called Trust None Street Wear.

Ariel Hammer, a close friend and former roommate of Morris’, said she had an instantaneous bond with Morris when they met four years ago. She said Morris and her boyfriend were just starting to get the word out about their clothing line.

Hammer said she last saw her friend a month ago.

At the same time, Christina Morris' boyfriend, Hunter Foster, is a wreck. As he sat down for interviews, clearly overwhelmed by all that is happening, his body was shaking and his voice was cracking.

"I just want her to come home and be alive," he said.

Foster said he regrets not being there early Saturday morning when Morris vanished. She had spent Friday night and early Saturday morning out with her girlfriends. Surveillance images show Morris with a friend walking through a garage at the Shops at Legacy.

"If I would have been there, none of this would have happened," Foster lamented.

Texas EquuSearch helps look for missing woman

September 9, 2014, Updated September 10, 2014

Updated [4:20 p.m. Sept. 10]:
Texas EquuSearch director Tim Miller announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the use of a drone in the search for Christina Morris.
The drone is en route from Austin, and is scheduled to be launched tomorrow morning, weather permitting.
Storms are expected in the area tonight through Friday, which Miller said may hamper search efforts.

PLANO — The search for Christina Morris finished another day on Wednesday without any credible leads. Searchers on foot, by horseback and all-terrain vehicles covered nearly 20 square miles in Plano and Allen.

"I can say that we're frustrated, but we're not ready to quit," said Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch.

Morris has now been missing for 12 days. For Anna Morris, the young woman's stepmother, it's too long.
 ::snipping3::
It's Tim Miller's job to think about time, and he knows it's not on his side. But on Wednesday night, an important tool came in — permission from the FAA to use a drone-mounted camera hundreds of feet in the air to help in the search.
"We'll be looking at a lot of photos, and if there's something that seems out of line that shouldn't be there, we'll blow it up and get really good images," Miller explained.
 ::snipping3::
Equusearch is working closely with Plano police.There are tips coming in, but so far it has led to little.

"They get the right lead, we get the right spot, and we can bring some kind of closure to this," Miller said.

According to the only Fort Worth police report from her address in the past year, Morris, who lives in the 4000 block of Lafayette Avenue near Camp Bowie Boulevard, reported a theft from her house March 25.

According to the police report, she let a male friend of eight years stay there between 3 a.m. and 3 p.m. Morris told police that her friend had a “drastic personality change” that came out of nowhere and started calling her “Nick” before asking for a shower.

Because she didn’t have water or electricity, a neighbor let him shower at his or her place, but after starting the shower, he took off down the street, the report says. According to the report, Morris returned home to find her purse stolen and her home ransacked. All her belongings were later recovered behind a frame store on Camp Bowie, with the exception of her Social Security card, the report says.

Where is Christina?

I read about this case every day, in the news, on Facebook, and have discussed it with a few people that are privy to things that I don't see. 

The fact that Natalee Holloway is mentioned in pretty much every article about TES's involvement in this case only makes the uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach worse. 

My memory is long, Tim Miller. 

I'd really like to know how Investigation Discovery got involved here.  If TES is working closely with LE (as I assume they are), how will a film crew's presence affect this ACTIVE investigation and search for evidence in Christina's disappearance?

The tireless efforts of the countless caring volunteers that make up TES are awe inspiring.  But any case that features Tim Miller riding in with talk about breaking the law if necessary and initial searches coinciding with the arrival of a film crew will set my hinky meter off.  I semi followed the drone controversy from the beginning, and based on my knowledge of it found Tim's portrayal of the whole thing in relation to this case purposely melodramatic.

Texas Equusearch had applied for and received a COA to conduct a search and rescue operation for a missing woman.  The COA applies from September 11, 2014 through sunset on September 15.  According to the statement, the FAA granted the COA in less than 24 hours, as they had originally told Texas Equusearch they would do if an emergency existed.

Other things I've seen and have heard are being instructed bother me too.  Every person willing and able to search in a responsible manner should be searching for Christina IMO.  It has been two weeks.

"My biggest hope is we don't have to be here tomorrow...my biggest hope," Miller said on Tuesday afternoon.

Hope is renewed as another group and more volunteers step in. When News 8 asked how long the group will continue to search, Miller said, "We're in for the long haul."

    Plano Texas Police Department Kristen, unfortunately we don't have any updates. We do not know where she is and that is the reason we need everyone's help in locating her. Trust me, if we had any indication of her whereabouts, we would not be letting these search efforts take place. I don't get all the most recent updates so keep an eye on the Find Christina Facebook page or the Texas Equuseach website for those.

Search Continues for Missing Fort Worth Woman
By Catherine Ross, Johnny Archer and Ellen Bryan

Wednesday, Sep 10, 2014 • Updated at 11:33 AM CDT

 ::snipping3::

Steven Nickerson was with Morris before she went missing and said she seemed a little upset that night, but he didn't know what was wrong. He said she insisted on driving back home to Fort Worth, but he never realized it would be the last time he saw her before she was reported missing.

"She was loved by everyone. She was the nicest person I've ever met, great personality," said Nickerson. "I don't see anyone that could lay a finger on her."

Holding Out Hope: The Search for Christina Morris
Posted 5:40 pm, September 14, 2014, by Selena Hernandez   

PLANO — 15 days, countless searches and still no sign of Christina Morris.

The 23-year-old from Fort Worth vanished over Labor Day weekend. She was hanging with her friends at the Shops at Legacy in Plano.

Questions in her case continue to mount; the evidence, as of now, is still limited.

 ::snipping3::

Now, Morris’ mom, Jonni McElroy, tells NewsFix Texas Equusearch suspended its search by air on Sunday. The tactical team is now pouring over hundreds of pictures captured by its ‘Super Bat.’

McElroy says Plano P-D assures her this case is still a priority, and she remains hopeful.

Monday begins a new week, and a new game plan, for a mom desperate for answers and relentless in her efforts to find them.

I don't understand it all, but thought it was interesting.   ::MonkeyConfused::

Most interesting to me was the inclusion of Christina's ex-boyfriend's brother and father in the mix.  Hadn't seen any mention of them before.

Search suspended as Plano PD seeks info on Morris investigation

Family, friends remain hopeful despite 'setback'

 Posted: Monday, September 15, 2014 4:54 pm

Brittany Feagans, bfeagans@starlocalmedia.com | 0 comments

Texas EquuSearch may have temporarily suspended active searches for 23-year-old Christina Morris pending new evidence from the Plano Police Department, but friends and family are not giving up.

While disheartening that no new evidence was found through extensive searches by foot, horse, ATV and drone, Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman, prefers to look at it as a positive.

“I met with the family on Saturday because Tim [Miller, Texas EquuSearch founder and director] was going to have to break the news to them that they’re calling off the search [for now],” Tilley said. “It was devastating to the family, but I said ‘You can look at this as a negative that now this group is leaving, but I prefer to look at it as a positive.’ They searched a lot of open area and they didn’t find anything.”

Although frustrating for loved ones who desperately want answers, there is also relief that nothing bad was found and hope that Morris is alive.

 ::snipping3::

The Texas EquuSearch website emphasizes that although the team has headed back to Houston for the time being, it is not a termination of the search.

“The Texas EquuSearch team will reactivate and return to Plano to search for Christina when investigators obtain more credible and significant information,” the post stated. “We ask that everyone please keep Christina’s family, friends, the Plano Police Department and her whole community in your thoughts and prayers.”

Tilley said after the search team disbanded he received a call Sunday from another EquuSearch member asking for permission to search an additional area. After gaining access from the property owner, a drone was used to scour the area. Even though nothing new was discovered, it goes to show how Morris has become everyone’s daughter, sister and friend.

 ::snipping3::

“We’re getting a lot of tips from the community … and I think they’re doing exactly what I ask them to do, which is report anything suspicious that might be associated with her disappearance,” he said. “We’re getting a lot of random tips [and] people are trying to help, which is the main thing that we want. Since we don’t know where she is, we’re eliminating areas that she’s not.”

Detectives and officers have thoroughly canvassed The Shops at Legacy, covering almost every single apartment and townhome on the north side of Legacy Drive. Tilley said there is no indication that Morris every went to the south side of Legacy Drive, and that her boyfriend, Hunter Foster, was not with the group Morris was hanging out with the night she was last seen.

 ::snipping3::

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Plano PD at 972-424-5678.

Plano police spokesperson David Tilley says Equusearch's decision to step back from active searches does not impact his department's efforts. "We're using every resource we've got. We're following up on every lead, and we're following up on every tip."

Tilley says that Equusearch has provided an "invaluable" service to the investigation. "They've covered a lot of open land that would have taken us weeks to cover, and they've eliminated a lot of areas where we know she's not," he says. "It gives us that much more hope that she might be alive somewhere."

What’s Next? Equusearch Suspends Christina Morris Search

Posted 5:35 pm, September 15, 2014, by Robert Wheeler,
Updated at 09:00pm, September 15, 2014   

PLANO, TX — The fields are empty in Plano — no drones searching overhead  and the command center at Legacy Church is shut down. For now, the search for Christina Morris, who has missing more than two weeks, has been called off.

 ::snipping3::

“They will come back if the Plano Police Department finds a new area that needs to be searched. They will be here in four hours, no problem,” Christina’s mom Jonni McElory said. “They were helping with the search, but my heart will be the leader to find her home.”

Until Equusearch arrived, she’d been searching 24/7 with family and friends, and she has no plans to call off the search.

“Its time to get in overdrive, keep searching. We are actually going to meet up with some people at six o’ clock and try to get a search team on our own. That’s our plan to do it tonight,” McElroy said

 ::snipping3::

“I really believe she’s inside somewhere,” McElroy said. “Do I think she is perfectly healthy? Absolutely not.  I believe she’s still alive.  I can feel it.  And I am not giving up believing that until somebody proves me wrong.”

JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL

What Happened to Christine Morris?
; Shocking Video: Ray Rice Knocks Out Girlfriend; NFL: We Didn`t See the Video Until Today

Aired September 8, 2014 - 19:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... as much as we can when it`s for valid reasons.

JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST; Tonight, breaking news in a bone-chilling mystery. In a desperate race against time, a beautiful 23-year-old Texas woman -- that lady right there -- vanishes into thin air nine days ago, but it takes four days before she`s even reported missing.  Over Labor Day weekend, Christina Morris walked into a parking garage. She has never been seen again. Tonight, I`m going to talk exclusively to her mother and father. What happened to this stunning, popular young woman?

Good evening. I`m Jane Velez-Mitchell, coming to you live.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The frantic search for Christina Morris.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We just want to find Christina.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This parking garage surveillance video capturing the last known images of Morris, walking with a friend at 4 a.m. She was never seen leaving the garage.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That`s all I can see. I don`t see anything else going on in the world right now, but her.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Cops say Christina Morris drove about 45 miles from where she lives with her boyfriend in Ft. Worth, Texas, to Plano, Texas, to spend some time with friends. Christina went to a tavern and then to a friend`s apartment.

Now look at this crucial surveillance video of Christina at the end of the evening, at about 4 a.m., walking back to her car, which is parked at a shopping center parking lot. She is with a male friend, somebody she`s known since high school.

Cops say Christina and her friend parted ways, the friend drove off, and Christina vanished. Her car was discovered right there in the parking lot, still locked up. Investigators say they do not consider this friend to be a suspect.

Christina`s devastated family spoke to "Good Morning America."

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JONNI LEE MCELROY, CHRISTINA`S MOTHER: Christina, wherever you`re at, I miss you so much.

Please if you have her, I need my daughter back. I need her back. I`m begging you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: What happened to this beautiful young lady? We want to help. Call me: 1-877-JVM-SAYS, 1-877-586-7297. Join my conversation. Go to my Jane Velez-Mitchell Facebook page or talk to me on Twitter, @JVM.

Our fantastic Lion`s Den expert panel fired up and ready to help solve this mother`s crisis, but first out to my very special exclusive guest, the missing woman`s mother, Jonni Lee McElroy.

If I may call you Jonni Lee, thank you so much for joining us. I know this is a hellish surreal nightmare that you`re going through. We want to help.

We want to jog somebody`s memory, get your daughter`s face out there. So let me ask you: how did you first learn, ma`am, that your daughter was missing?

MCELROY: I first learned -- I started to notice, and it was weird, that I haven`t gotten text messages back to my replies for a couple days. Me and her always will send messages. I will send her "Good morning, sunshine, hope you have a wonderful day" or "I love you the mostest."

And then about the third day, I get a phone call from one of her best friends let me know that she was very worried about Christina, because she had not heard from her either. And then her boss was very kind of frantic that Christina didn`t show up for work for two days, because Christina has never missed work.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, let`s give some background to our viewers. Christina lives with her boyfriend. Even though she didn`t go home for about four days, he did not report her missing.

Now, the day after Christina`s parents reported her missing, he, the boyfriend, posted a plea for help on Christina`s Facebook page, writing, quote, "I`m worried sick and will do anything to get any information on the last time anyone has seen her or talked to her. Please help and pray that she`s OK," end quote.

Now, according to Christina`s Facebook page, this young man you`re seeing right there is her boyfriend. I want to stress he is not considered a suspect, and he has been involved in the search for Christina. We`ve tried unsuccessfully to reach him. He is invited on our show any time.

I want to go back to you, Jonni Lee. There may be a very reasonable explanation, but why didn`t her boyfriend report her missing as day after day passed?

MCELROY: As he has told us, him and Christina did get in an argument on the phone, a fight, boyfriend-girlfriend fight, that evening. And he assumed that she wasn`t going to come home and needed to stay a few days with a friend and cool down.

But as I and her father and stepmother, as our loved ones, have told him, we`re very upset. It was a wrong move, plain and simple. He knows it was an idiot move. Excuse my -- you know, bluntly how we put it. He has really let me know that he knows he has to live with that mistake the rest of his life now. He`s very hurt and ashamed.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: He has been involved in the search for your daughter.

MCELROY: Absolutely. Nonstop

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Cops say Christina`s phone has been turned off since she was reported missing nine days ago. Her bank accounts have not been touched at all.

Her last 15 calls were reportedly to that boyfriend of hers, Hunter. That seems like a lot of phone calls.

So my question is -- and I want to go back to you on this, Johnny Lee. She goes to Plano, which is about 45 miles away. Now you have explained why he didn`t accompany her. They`d had a little falling out.

MCELROY: Correct.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Was she planning on driving back home to Plano that night, because that`s 4 in the morning? That`s an at least 50-minute drive, maybe an hour. That seems like a long way to go at that hour.

MCELROY: No, she was not, but she did get into an argument on the phone with Hunter, with her boyfriend, excuse me, not too long before that. And it upset her so much that she wanted to go home and wanted to get her dog and also because she did have to be at work early in the morning.

So she was not planning originally to go home that evening. She was -- already had changed her clothes and was planning on spending the night at her friend`s house.


VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, that`s a very interesting point, because can you establish, then, that the boyfriend was back in Ft. Worth, Texas, when she`s talking to him?

MCELROY: I`m not -- I`m not aware of that yet. The police investigators would be the only ones that know that at this time, and they have not divulged that information to us at this time.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And again, we tried to reach the boyfriend. We`re not saying he`s a suspect, but you know, I have to bring in Mike Brooks, HLN law enforcement analyst. In a case like this, you always have to start with those who are closest to the person that vanished.

MIKE BROOKS, HLN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: That`s where you start. I`m sure law enforcement, by now, has hopefully subpoenaed his cell records and have interviewed him.

But it still bothers me that, even though that there was an argument, Jane, that it took that long for him to reach out to anybody. Because that`s where she would come and go, and that`s where she lived. That`s where her belongings where. And she was holding down a job.

But the other thing is the person who she was with at 4 a.m., when we see them on the ramp in that parking lot at the legacy in Plano, the Legacy Shops in Plano, what was discussed between them? You know, and when was the last call that she made of those 15 calls that she talked to her boyfriend? What time was that and what was said?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, police say Christina`s car never left the Plano parking lot at this mall. Listen to this from "Good Morning America."

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We checked around the area where the car was. There was no signs of any foul play.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Now I want to go to Marc Klaas, president and founder of Klaas Kids Foundation, who is an expert. There`s three cars here that were seen on the deck in the area of this garage where she vanished. What I don`t understand is they said they`re having trouble identifying these vehicles. If they had video of her going into the garage, wouldn`t they have surveillance video of any car that came out of the garage? Shouldn`t they have other surveillance video that would indicate who else was in the area at the time?

MARC KLAAS, PRESIDENT/FOUNDER, KLAAS KIDS FOUNDATION: Jane, I would think in this day and age, particularly given the fact that young women are very vulnerable in parking lots in the dark of night, that there would be multiple surveillance cameras throughout the lot that would be able to pick up almost anybody from any angle at any time. At least that`s been my experience in the recent past.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I want to bring in Lisa Bloom, legal analyst, Avvo.com. You and I have covered so many of these difficult cases. We have to consider possibilities. Is there -- I think that there`s a very good possibility this was a stranger abduction.

LISA BLOOM, LEGAL ANALYST: That is certainly a possibility. We can`t rule anything out at this time.

I have to say I`m a little bit more suspicious of the boyfriend than perhaps you and the mom are. I don`t know him. I understand he`s not a suspect, but his story doesn`t make any sense. You wait four days. Let`s say that you did have a fight. We know that she was a diligent employee.

She always showed up for work. How is she supposedly getting clothes for work? How is she getting her things? He doesn`t think about that on day one, on day two, on day three?

He only reports this after her boss calls and is concerned.

Also, if they had a fight, show me the evidence beyond the phone calls. Phone calls only show that there was a call made. It doesn`t show what was said. Where are the texts? Every person in their early 20s is texting constantly. Show me the texts between these two. So I`d be taking a pretty close look at him.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I want to give Jonni Lee McElroy a chance to address all this. Again, I want to stress that this boyfriend is not considered a suspect. He`s invited on any time. We`ve been making attempts to reach him. My understanding is that we couldn`t find his own Facebook page. He may not have one. And that in fact, he posted his statement on your daughter`s Facebook page, begging for help.

What about some of the issues that Lisa has raised?

MCELROY: That is correct. He does not have a Facebook page. Christina, I know he knew all of her pass codes. She`s always been very open with that with him.

As of the -- his phone, he voluntarily has taken it to the Plano Police Department, and they have analyzed it and investigated every single phone call and text messages and conversation. They did find out -- I think they were looking into his whereabouts for certainty on that.

When it comes to the surveillance cameras, absolutely. I`m mad. I need to understand why a nice area like that with high-end shops, high-end restaurants, high-end town homes -- I didn`t see a problem seeing my daughter perfectly in the camera walking into the garage. There are other cameras in that area in the garage. I really need to understand why I can`t see cars perfectly, a license plate number. I need answers to that.

Absolutely.

Somebody has taken my daughter and I need answers. I need answers of the vehicles that were taken out of that car -- out of that garage. I feel like they would be a big start to this investigation.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I understand exactly what you`re saying. In this day and age where once somebody vanishes, money is no object. Throw everything at it. Caution to the winds. But the cheap technology that`s available, especially in a garage, we should be able to see every second of her journey in that garage and anybody else who might have BEEN with her.

We`re not done with this. We`re going to take calls that are lining up right on the other side. We want to help this desperate mother find her precious daughter. We`re just getting started. What are your theories? What can we do? Stay right there.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MCELROY: I miss you so much.

Please if you have her, I need my daughter back. I need her back. I`m begging you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: On the eighth day of her disappearance, the search for Christina Morris grew more exhaustive and exhausting.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We just want to find Christina.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Before she vanished, Christina went out for a fun night over Labor Day weekend with friends. Friday, August 29, she drove about 50 minutes from her home in Ft. Worth, Texas, to Plano. Her first stop was Henry`s Tavern in a shopping center called The Shops at Legacy.

She went to a party there then went to a friend`s apartment. At about 4 a.m. Saturday morning, she and a close male friend she knows from high school went back to the shopping center where their cars were parked. They were caught on surveillance walking into the parking lot. Then Christina vanishes. Listen to this from ABC`s "GMA."

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We were already behind the curve on this, because getting it four days late, so we had a lot of catching up to do.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Straight out to Michael Board, WOAI News Radio out of San Antonio, what do you know about the search?

MICHAEL BOARD, WOAI NEWS RADIO (via phone): Well, the latest in the search, Jane, is that the famed Texas EquuSearch, the group that searches for missing people, have arrived. Today they met with Plano Police, and tomorrow morning, they will bring their massive resources to this search, which will be a big boon to the area.

One thing specifically that police really need to search in this that`s going to become part of this investigation is around this area there are a lot of toll roads. Anybody who drives through the Plano-Dallas area knows that there -- you can`t avoid toll roads in this area. If there were other cars that were in that parking lot and we can look at the license plates on those, that`s going to be part of this investigation. They can check the
toll roads to see if those license plates showed up. That might give investigators a location to start searching.

And one final thing, Jane. This is an area where a lot of young people like to go out, socialize, go out to the bars. We know that she was out at one bar in particular that evening before she went to her friend`s apartment. I wonder if, at that bar, she was maybe approached by someone who saw her again later in the evening and went up to her.

Investigators need to look at that bar, see who she was talking with, see if she was approached, maybe by a guy that was trying to pick her up that evening. If she had spurned them at the bar earlier, maybe that person was coming back at her at 3 a.m. when she was coming back for her car.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Excellent points, all of them.

Let`s go out to the phone lines. Jennifer, Pennsylvania, what are your thoughts? Jennifer, Pennsylvania.

CALLER: Well, my question is her friend that walked her to the car, would he not have waited to make sure that she got into the car and that she was safe, that the car started, that there were no problems? Isn`t that what most gentleman, most friends do for other people, especially that time of the morning?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, yes. Here`s the surveillance video again. It`s about 4 in the morning. She`s walking with a male friend that she reportedly knows since high school back to the parking lot.

And I want to go back to this missing woman`s mother, Jonni Lee McElroy, joining us exclusively tonight. It`s the first thing I thought of.

Wouldn`t a man -- and again, he is not considered a suspect. The investigators made it clear.

But it seems odd. It`s 4 in the morning. We all know parking lots are dangerous for women alone. And yet, he seems to get in his car and leave,

and she`s left there and never apparently makes it into her car.

MCELROY: Absolutely. I think it`s total -- totally unacceptable. I can`t believe it. I`m very, very livid. It`s hard for me to believe that -- that a gentleman at all, friend, whoever, did not sit and watch a young, beautiful, tiny female get into her car and drive off first. It`s just -- I`m baffled.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: What has this been like for you? I know that there`s no words to describe what you`re going through emotionally.

MCELROY: Exhaustion. My mind is going 100 miles an hour. I feel like I`m just being tugged and pulled every direction, because I`m just desperate to find her, as we all are.

As a mother, I just -- I can still feel her touch. I can still see her smile. I can still hear her laughter. It`s -- it`s just -- it`s hell. If you want to be blunt, it`s hell.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I know you`re in hell right now. And I`m so sorry. I`m so sorry you`re going through this. As many of our Facebook and Twitter comment -- commenters are saying, why does this keep happening? Let`s find her safely. Let`s find her safely.

We`ve got more on the other side. We`re going to bring in another expert, Brian Claypool. We`ve really got to figure this out. There`s something, some clue somewhere. Somebody knows something. They need to come forward.

 ::snipping3::

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We just want to find Christina.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Any kind of evidence, maybe an earring or something to say that she was actually here.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: This beautiful 23-year-old last seen on this surveillance video walking with a male friend into a parking lot in Plano, Texas. She`s never seen again. I want to go to Mark Morris, another exclusive guest, the father of this beautiful missing woman.

Mark, what troubles you about this video?

MARK MORRIS, FATHER OF CHRISTINA MORRIS (via phone): Well, I just don`t know how you can walk into a parking garage with a little girl and not -- not walk her to her car. And I heard you say that they were close friends. They`re just -- they just went to school together. I don`t know that I`d say they were close friends. It`s not somebody she hung out with. He was just -- he was supposed to be walking her to her car.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, have police told you anything?

MORRIS: They haven`t. No.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Mike Brooks, HLN law enforcement analyst, you`ve been hearing all the evidence. What do you think? Is this a stranger abduction? Is this somebody who knew her? Is it a guy she might have snubbed at the bar?

BROOKS: There are just too many questions that -- that I want to know the answers to that they have not -- you know, it sounds like law enforcement is not talking to the parents about it. But keep in mind, law enforcement is playing catch up, because it was four days that she went missing.

So hopefully in this bar where she was -- where she was at the shops, there are cameras there also that will help answer some of those questions.

Right outside there, you`ve got Legacy Avenue. Then the next road over is one of those toll roads, Jane. So hopefully, there is video there.

Sometimes department of transportations around the states will have cameras, but they don`t record. They just monitor.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Right.

BROOKS: So, you know, hopefully, they`ll be able to get something.

But this picture right here just bothers me. Why did he not make sure he got to the car? You know, any real man would make sure that a woman that time of the morning got to the car safely.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Brian Claypool, criminal defense attorney, your thoughts?

BRIAN CLAYPOOL, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, Jane, you also have to look at interviewing all the people that were at the other party at the apartment. We haven`t heard from those folks. Find out who she talked to, who she interacted with there, as well, to see if there might be any suspects.

And then also, you know, I would take a look at the surveillance of cars entering that garage earlier in the evening to see whether you could possibly detect whether those cars actually exited. Because it`s quite possible that somebody pulled in the garage. Maybe then they saw her get out of her car, and then they were following her that evening. And so that might be another angle to take.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: What I want to know is, if that`s the only exit and entrance to the garage, then what goes in most come out.

CLAYPOOL: Right. Exactly.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And whatever vehicle came out after she disappeared could have her. And they need to track down all those vehicles.

We`re out of time. But I want to go back to Jonni Lee McElroy. My heart goes out to you. We`re going to stay on top of this story. We`re going to do everything we can to find your precious daughter. We are praying for you and your family. And please keep us posted.

MCELROY: I will. Thank you so much.

Missing Woman Christina Morris Updates And How To Help!
By Uptown Dallas Girl | September 18, 2014

 ::snipping3::

I sat down with Jonnie McElroy, Christina’s mother desperate for answers on Wednesday, September 17. Two whole weeks after her daughter went missing. “I am in mission mode, I am going to find my daughter.” her mother stated. “It’s frustrating as a mother to not be given details about my own child’s whereabouts, we need awareness, we need help.” she goes on to say.

What We Do Know:

-Christina was with 4-5 of her friends the night of the disappearance. They all parked close to each other but Christina rode with them after leaving the bar to get something to eat before returning to her girlfriend’s apartment in the Shops.

-None of the articles of clothing she was wearing, cell phone and wallet have been located.

-There has been no activity on her bank account since.

-Her phone has been off since the disappearance. Her mother tried to reach her during this time frame and said it went straight to voicemail every time. She still calls every day just to hear her voice.

-Christina went to high school with the gentleman that was last seen with her.  Jonnie tells me that she knows all of Christina’s friends but never met this particular gentleman.

-A search for Christina spread across the Plano and surrounding areas and turned up nothing. This search has since been suspended.

-People from all over, including Equusearch and the same search team that helped with the Natalee Holloway case, came to help with the search.

-The people with Christina that night, and her boyfriend who was not, were questioned and cleared as persons of interest.

-Christina was NOT incapacitated while walking to her car. The video clearly shows Christina walking and talking perfectly normal.

-There are 13 cameras in that parking garage and only 1 caught footage.

-Christina’s boyfriend Hunter is not a suspect and is devastated by the disappearance.  He was at home and police and witnesses confirm. Christina’s mother even stated, “Hunter is an emotional wreck right now.”

-She did not get in her car at all after the surveillance video showed her walking to it. Nothing was found in her car that was shown on her at the time of the surveillance video. Police suspect she never made it to her car.

-None of the people questioned were given lie detector tests despite most offering, including her boyfriend.

-She was reported missing after 4 days by her boss, when she did not show up for work. “Her boss went nuts because she knew that was so unlike Christina.” Jonnie says.  It was Labor Day weekend which explains the delay in report.

-There is nothing to trace her cell phone. It has been dead since she was reported missing.

-Christina did not run away. I witnessed first hand past text messages between Christina and her mother full of silly pictures and “I miss yous” and they were the best of friends. This disappearance was not voluntary.

-There was a girl found beaten and raped in the same garage this past Saturday. She was still alive but left for dead. It is unknown whether the two instances are related.

What We Don’t Know:

-Who the gentleman IS that walked her to her car?

-Why authorities won’t release that gentleman’s picture or name.

-Said gentleman has not had any form of contact with the family of Christina. He has not helped in any of the searches, or offered up any information that may help. Alongside not even a phone call to her mother expressing his worry.

-If a stranger picked her up, the echos in that garage are quite loud. Why hasn’t anyone come forward if it was a forced assault?

-Why the FBI has not been involved after two weeks with no answers?

-If anyone saw or heard anything, no matter how irrelevant at the time, with all the coverage why are they not coming forward?

-What she said to her boyfriend Hunter via text 15 minutes before the surveillance video. Her mother is still waiting on that data.

NEW INFORMATION-as of 9/18

-Christina sent a text at 3:36am to her boyfriend who was at home asleep that said “I can’t find the keys to the house.” after no response at 3:58am, 1 minute after the surveillance footage was taken, she sent another text to her boyfriend that said, “Can you please leave the door unlocked?”  –As said by her mother “This means she must have gotten a ride with someone.”

Vigil Held for Missing Woman Christina Morris
By Ben Russell

Thursday, Sep 18, 2014 • Updated at 10:33 PM CDT

Nearly 200 people, including family, friends and strangers gathered Thursday night, lit candles and prayed for the safe return of Christina Morris.

Morris, 23, was last seen in the early-morning hours of Aug. 30 at the Shops of Legacy shopping center in Plano.

"Man, I miss her. I miss her every day, every second. I need her," Morris' mother, Jonnie McElroy, told the crowd through tears Thursday at Allen High School.

Surveillance video from the shopping center shows Morris and a man, who has been described by family members as a friend of Morris' from high school, approaching a parking garage. Plano police have said their detectives have questioned that man, as well as several other people, and that no one has emerged as a person of interest or a suspect in Morris' disappearance.

 ::snipping3::

None of the searches have produced clues in Morris' disappearance.

"We need everybody and anybody that knows something to please come forward, please. We beg of you," McElroy said Thursday. "There's a person out there [who knows.] There has to be. Obviously somebody knows something."

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

There have been reports circulating across social media of an incident that occurred at the Shops at Legacy last Saturday evening alleging a female was drugged and sexually assaulted.

We will continue to look into this incident and we are asking for anyone who might have information related to this post to contact us at 972-941-2148.

    I don't believe any police officers have searched my apt, which is quite close to where christina went missing. I do know that we received a letter last weekend from property mgmt that all units would be inspected, and someone was in my apt last Monday.

Missing woman's friends gather in remembrance

Christina Morris described as determined, driven


Posted: Monday, September 22, 2014 1:54 pm | Updated: 2:03 pm, Mon Sep 22, 2014.

Friends of Christina Morris gathered Wednesday night to share stories about the pint-sized girl with big brown eyes, an infectious smile and a larger than life personality at a meet-up at Celebration Park in Allen, the missing woman's hometown.

Eight of Christina's closest friends participated in the event, which was recorded by Investigation Discovery crews for a documentary they're creating about her disappearance from the Shops at Legacy more than three weeks ago.

From her passion for skateboarding and her love of electronic dance music and Marilyn Monroe to her artistic nature and penchant for talking with her hands, Christina's friends vowed to make sure their comrade is not forgotten, wherever she is.

"We want to keep the awareness going," said Teighlor Stegman. "We've had so much support, [even] from random people all over the country and I feel like we need to keep her story going and not let people forget about her. That's why I'm so open to talking to people [about her]."

Although the occasional tear was shed, the majority of the conversation was focused on humanizing Christina to those who don't know her, while sharing stories and laughs.

"She worked at Nordstrom with me for a long time and she loved fashion; that was her way of expressing herself. She even had insurance for her clothing," said Haley Milam with a laugh.

 ::snipping3::

Kelly Lange, who lived with Christina and their friend Ariel Hammer while the missing 23-year-old attended University of Texas at Dallas, said Christina's creativity was shown in her pride and joy – Trust None Streetwear, a skater-esque clothing company she runs with her boyfriend, Hunter Foster.

"She made the website, took all the pictures, did the screen printing ... She was so creative," Lange said. "She would always say she's a master doodler. When she's on the phone or doing homework she would still doodle all over everything."

When the conversation shifted to Christina's disappearance, her friends talked about how they weren't initially concerned, as Christina was notorious for letting her phone battery die.

"She could never keep her phone charged," Lange said. "I got her an external charger for Christmas, but she probably didn't charge it [or had lost it]."

Hammer said she figured someone would hear from Christina the next day when her phone was charged, but as time passed, loved ones realized no one had heard from her since about 4 a.m. on Aug. 30, and that nonchalance turned to concern.

 ::snipping3::

"We're not going to give up," Hammer said. "Anytime you need support you can literally call her and she'll sit for hours. I remember so many times when we lived together I would just go in her room and it didn't matter to her if she was asleep or not. I would crawl in her bed and if I needed to vent she would just sit there and [converse] with me and make me feel so much better. It's amazing to have someone like that."

Stegman couldn't agree more.

"I think that's why she had so many friends, because she connected with all of them on such a big level," she said. "She connected with every person that she met."

 ::snipping3::

"She didn't listen to gossip or stereotypes, she would just go and talk to that person and just touch them in a way that she's touched all of us," Lange said. "With her big smile and her big personality in this tiny little girl."

Plano PD responds to public’s frustration about missing woman

Investigation still considered hot despite lack of released information

Ever since Texas EquuSearch packed up and headed back to Houston a few weeks ago pending credible information from the Plano Police Department, the public has grown understandably restless with the lack of information released regarding the investigation into Christina Morris’ disappearance.

Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman, said the information his department believes will be helpful to them in solving the incident has been released to the public. Other information has not been released for two reasons: the information will not be beneficial to the public in helping Plano PD solve the case, and most importantly, law enforcement still has to protect and preserve evidence and the release of information.

“If this does turn out to be a criminal offense, we don’t want somebody to walk away and not be held responsible for their actions because we let information out,” he said. “The people who need to know the inside details on this are the detectives working the case. The people that determine whether or not a case goes cold are the detectives, and it’s still considered to be very hot and very active right now.”

Concerned residents have flocked to social media to discuss their frustration and unease, but Tilley said just because there has been less publicity surrounding the case since Texas EquuSearch’s departure does not mean detectives are giving up. In fact, quite the opposite has happened.

“We still have as many people working this case today as we had [Sept. 3] when we got the report,” he said. “We have not shut down any manpower. We’re still working seven days a week. I understand in the general public’s mind they’re not hearing any new information so [they think] it’s starting to die away, but I can tell you from our investigation’s side, it’s not.”

 ::snipping3::

“As each day goes by, our level of concern rises,” he said. “The belief that foul play could exist increases, but again – we can’t responsibly say foul play has occurred when we don’t have any proof to support it.

“Until we have proof that a person is responsible for this, we’re not going to have a suspect. Until we have some type of proof that foul play exists, we’re not going to call this a criminal case, but just because we’re not calling it a criminal case doesn’t mean we’re not investigating it as one, because we are.”

Tilley said Plano PD has kept in contact with Morris’ family throughout the investigation and that they’ve been very understanding and patient.

“It has touched nobody’s heart as much as it has that family,” he said. “Nobody wants this to be solved and her found more than her family. Nobody has more expectations out of us than her family, and if that family understands where we’re coming from and what we’re doing even though they might be frustrated – and we are too – they are understanding how much we’re working on this and how much dedication is being spent on it and they’re not complaining.

“Our first and primary responsibility is to that family to find Christina and determine if a criminal offense has been committed, and if so, prosecute the person. We’re not here to look good in the public’s eye, we’re here to work for this family and do the best job we can to find Christina and bring her back to this family.”

“Not having any evidence in terms of how she left that parking garage that’s been a challenge,” Officer David Tilley said.

Still, cops insist the right clue could come along and make all the difference.

“We’re talking to anyone who might have any information at all of something even in the past,” Tilley explained. “We’re still a long way from this thing turning cold.”

Hundreds attend safety seminar following N. TX woman's disappearance
September 24, 2014

Plano police still have no leads on Christina Morris, the 23-year-old woman who disappeared Aug. 30 from a parking garage at the Shops of Legacy.

Her disappearance has prompted hundreds to want to learn how to better protect themselves.

Many attended a personal safety seminar Wednesday night to learn how criminals pick their victims, how to be a less attractive target, and how to avoid dangerous situations.

Morris' face is still plastered across storefronts in the shopping center where she disappeared, and more than a dozen Plano officers and detectives remain committed to the case.

“We are making some progress,” said Officer David Tilley with the Plano Police Department. “At this point in time, we're still looking at a missing person, but we have to treat this as a serious case… there's a lot of information we're not releasing because we have to maintain the integrity of this case.”

Surveillance video in the early morning of Aug. 30 shows Morris old walking to her car with a friend into the parking garage.

Despite searches on foot, horseback and ATV, she has not been seen or heard from since.

Police won't speculate on what she could've done differently; they only want to educate others about how to protect themselves.
 ::snipping3::
Plano police asked FOX 4 not to reveal specific tips so as to give ideas to criminals, but they urge residents of any city to attend public safety events where they live.

“We're going to continue to work hard, and our ultimate goal is to find Christina and we're going to bring her home,” said Tilley.

Lost to Found: P.I. Gives Thoughts On Finding Christina Morris

Posted 2:25 pm, September 25, 2014, by Robert Wheeler,
Updated at 02:51pm, September 25, 2014   

PLANO, TX — The weathered posters for Christina Morris are a reminder to folks in Plano the 23-year-old is still missing. Morris seems to have vanished without a trace, and Plano PD has yet to come up with a clue to solve this case.

“There are two things you have to consider — was this a random act, or was it planned? And at this point it could be either one,” Private Investigator Andrew Fisher said.

Even though he hasn’t been involved in this search, Fisher says he’d start with all the security cameras — and there are plenty at The Shops at Legacy .

“It would take someone a couple of days to gather up that photo evidence and put it together that would allow the examination of license tag numbers of people coming and going at our particular point in time,” Fisher explained.

 ::snipping3::

Back in Plano, Fisher says if he was investigating Christina’s case he’d re-interview the folks who knew her best.

“The boyfriend is a good guy to go to, he knows something, he is going to know something.” said Fisher. and then there’s criminal background checks, phone records and  emails

“We’ve got to eliminate people, that tells us where we are.” said Fisher

fisher knows time is not on Christina’s side, she`s been missing for almost a month now.

“We’ve got to get down to things that we know, and right now we don`t know a lot but we got a good place to start.” Fisher said.

One Month Later: Christina Morris’ Mom Refuses to Give Up
Posted 9:25 pm, September 30, 2014, by NewsFix Web Desk,
Updated at 08:52am, October 1, 2014

PLANO, TX – The first anniversary is always the worst.  For the folks who love Christina Morris, Wednesday marks the first month since she disappeared.

It’s been a 24/7 roller coaster ride for Christina’s mom, Jonni McElroy, who single-handedly organized family and friends to search for her.

“The frustration, I have good days and I have bad. I definitely haven’t lost faith, hope at all,” McElroy said.

 ::snipping3::

The house Christina shared with her live-in boyfriend is quiet, and no one at the dating service where she worked was willing to talk about the day they reported her missing — 30 days ago.

Six-second surveillance video is the last time Christina Morris was seen alive, heading to her car.

With other cases around the country solved by security cameras, you have to wonder, did any of the cameras at The Shops at Legacy catch anything suspicious or a possible suspect?

As time keeps passing, with no sign of Christina, her mother can only wait and hope.

Good morning my precious Pooky, Yep,I know its not fair that Im writing you this instead of telling you in person this morning. Its just not right at all. Mommy and Daddy went and packed up all your stuff last night at your place and brought it home with us . We wanted to make sure you have everything you needed right here for when you come home. The weather was a little cooler last night. I prayed that who ever has you and were ever you are gave you a blanket to keep you warm. If not you felt the warmth of my love and hugs instead. Mommy, loves you and misses you so much sweetie. All we can do is keep praying and have faith in God, that we will soon be back in to each others arms. I know I ask you every day to stay strong, If you start to feel weak please know Im staying strong for both of us and I will find you. We will find you. So keep on holding on to faith and our love. Mommy will see you soon as always today would be nice. Ps love you the mostest. Your one determined Mom that giving up is not a option. Xoxoxox

Does anyone know the exact model phone and camera she had? I would like to print off some copies of them to pass out when we search so people know what to look for. Thanks


Kim Ward Brown It was an iPhone 5 with a green case on it. I'm pretty positive it was confirmed that she did not have her camera with her after all. But she had her small black backpack that she used as her purse with her as well.

Reward increased in Christina Morris case
October 9, 2014

PLANO, Texas - There is now a $10,000 reward available for information about Christina Morris, the Fort Worth woman who disappeared after an evening with friends in Plano.

Morris was last seen on Sept. 2. A friend walked her to the parking garage at The Shops at Legacy, but turned around before she got to her car.

Her car was found still locked in the parking garage the next day and no one has been able to contact her since then.

Plano police found no evidence of a crime. Volunteers who searched the area on foot and using drones also didn't find anything suspicious.

Reward increased for woman missing from Plano since Labor Day weekend
By Valerie Wigglesworth vwigglesworth@dallasnews.com
1:09 pm on October 9, 2014

The reward for information about a Fort Worth woman missing for more than a month has been increased to $10,000, Plano Police officials announced Thursday.

 ::snipping3::

Her case is classified as a missing person investigation. The reward is for information that leads to the arrest and indictment in Morris’ disappearance “if it is determined that a crime has been committed,” police say.

An anonymous donor provided the additional reward money to the North Texas Crime Commission, which coordinates the Crime Stoppers program.

Anyone with information about Morris’ whereabouts should contact the Plano Police Department at 972-424-5678.

Thanks to donations from supporters, the reward for information about missing woman Christina Morris is now $10,000. Plano police officer David Tilley announced the news in an October 9 release. The new funds double the original $5,000 Crime Stoppers reward.

Although it was previously characterized as an anonymous donation, Morris' family says the money was raised through their support network for Christina.


Morris, 23, disappeared without a trace August 30 from the Shops at Legacy in Plano. When traditional police methods failed to yield any leads, an independent search and recovery team used ATVs, horses and even drones to look for her. No clues have revealed the young woman's whereabouts.

"There's nothing that's leading us in any positive direction," Tilley says.

Surveillance video shows Morris left a friend's apartment at the Shops at Legacy in Plano around 4 am on Labor Day weekend. Since then, no one has seen or heard from her. Calls to Morris' cellphone go straight to voicemail, there's been no activity on her bank account and her car was found nearby without any signs of foul play.

Christina's family is currently in Allen holding up signs asking where she is to the last person who was with her which was EA or Enrique. He is the person seen on CCC walking with her to the parking garage.

Thanks iluvmua.

I am still somewhat suspicious of the boyfriend but ... since the get-go my mind keeps going back to the friend who walked Christina to the parking garage.  Why has the friend never been identified?  Why is there no release of surveillance of the friend's vehicle leaving the parking garage?  Why has the friend never spoken to media?  When you consider all the media coverage encompassing the boyfriend why has the friend been given a pass?  Did he lawyer up?  Did he refuse a polygraph?

Considering the protest by family members compelling the friend to come forward ... I believe that there must be unanswered questions encompassing this witness.

Reward for missing Plano woman receives $15,000 boost
October 20, 2014

PLANO – Police announced an anonymous donor has contributed $15,000 to the reward fund for information about a woman missing since Aug. 30.

The total reward is now $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of a person if it is determined a crime is committed in the case of Christina Morris.

Morris was last seen in surveillance video walking to her car in a parking garage at the Shops At Legacy in Plano Aug. 30. She never made it home.

Crews of volunteers both locally and with Texas EquuSearch have been searching for signs of Morris since her disappearance, but have had no luck in finding the woman in the weeks since.

Plano police spokesman David Tilley said there have been no new developments in their case and it is still being investigated as a missing persons case

Christina Morris Reward Raised to $25,000

Monday, Oct 20, 2014 • Updated at 3:24 PM CDT

The reward for a 23-year-old woman missing since Aug. 30 has been raised to $25,000.

Surveillance video from The Shops at Legacy in Plano shows Christina Morris walking with a man identified by family members as a friend of Morris' from high school.  The pair can be seen walking through a parking garage, after which Morris was never seen again.

Plano police have said their detectives have questioned that man, as well as several other people, and that no one has emerged as a person of interest or a suspect in Morris' disappearance.

A reward of $10,000 had been offered by Crime Stoppers for information leading to the arrest and indictment of a suspect, if it's determined a crime has occurred.  On Monday, that reward was increased by an anonymous donor to $25,000.

“I went to his house to talk to him, and he told me his lawyer wouldn’t let him say anything,” Christina’s father Mark Morris said.

“Not one time did he say that he was sorry what happened or anything,” Christina’s mother Jonni McElroy said.

BTW, on the Help Find Christina Morris facebook page, Someone asked Christina's mother if EA could see christina's car from his car and she replied with yes.

And also somebody posted on the WFAA facebook page that LE knows who the suspect is (not the boyfriend) but they are having a hard time charging him without any evidence and that the reward money is for the recovery of christina's body.

“They walked into the parking garage together. He leaves, she doesn’t,” he added.  “I know my daughter. I know she would’ve made him walk her to the car.  It doesn’t make sense.”

“He hasn’t helped out with one search.  Have some compassion, think if it was your brother or your sister,” McElroy said.

Plano PD says they don’t have the evidence that makes this a criminal case.

“All the people that were with Christina that evening, we’ve talked to.  Some of them, we’ve talked to multiple times. We haven’t cleared anyone that was with her that evening,” PIO David Tilley said.

The family had previously refrained from identifying the man "out of respect for his privacy," but they broke their silence this weekend with signs and a peaceful demonstration outside his Allen home. Christina's mother, Jonni McElroy says it felt empowering to finally call him out. She says he initially lied about walking Christina to the parking garage.

Very frustrating...   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Just feel like we don't have the whole story.  I've read a lot, but have hesitated to post most of it because I don't know the sources...or if any of it is true or not; and I've been hoping it's all just talk.  But the timing of some of the rumors and other things happening around the same time have really made me wonder how much of it is true.  One (of the things happening) being...TES coming in, Tim Miller saying he's there for "the long haul" and then leaving after searching maybe two full days? 

The first thing that really bothered me was the delay in reporting Christina missing.  Not one of the "friends" she was with that night wondered why she hadn't called to say she'd made it home?  Did any of them try to contact her in the days before she was reported missing?  Her bf and none of her friends wondered where she was for four days?

And now we're reading that the facts that were stated about Enrique Arochi being parked in a different area than Christina were not true?  Wow.

 ::MonkeyConfused:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Someone knows what happened, and they need to give her family the answers!

“We have a lot of people that we have talked to, and none of those have been cleared of not knowing information that might help us in our investigation,” he said. “That doesn’t mean they took part in any crime, and it doesn’t mean they knew anything about a crime; it just simply means they may have information to provide to us that they might believe is irrelevant but we might think is very important information to have. … There’s nobody that we have spoken with that we have said, ‘We will no longer need to speak to you again.’”

A lot of the theories I've read suggest a possible drug overdose.  But...where is she?

We know from her boss that she was crying that day at work about her bf cheating on her.  After several attempt and not being able to reach him did she decide to do something that she hadn't done in a while and did too much?

I'd like to think that if any of the theorists have confirmed knowledge of drug use and/or addiction, that maybe someone cared enough about her to encourage her to go into rehab; that could still be a happy ending!  But it's hard to believe a decision like that would have been made and acted on at 4am in a parking garage.

This is some of the statements I've read, that I keep thinking about...I have no idea if the statements are true or not.

Kristin Felder Nettles I know for a fact it is true. She might not wanna be found....ooorrrr....this could bring up other cenario s. What if she got in the car and did some heroin and then overdosed.....they might have dumped her somewhere. It could be anything.

I have been told that I often suspect a conspiracy when there is none but ....

1.  It would be interesting to know the family of the EA (Enrique Arochi) has any influential connections.

2.  It makes sense that the intentional obstruction of a missing person investigation would be considered a felony.

3.  It makes sense that the intentional obstruction of a missing person person investigation implies that EA at the very least knows something.

4.  If the allegations by Christina's family pertaining to EA's changing story reflects the truth the implication is that Plano police officer David Tilley is not being truthful when he stated on September 8th that EA was cooperating.

Reward climbs to $25,000 in case of missing Dallas-area woman Christina Morris
October 20, 2014


<snipped>

Although police are not naming any persons of interest or suspects in Christina's disappearance, her family says it wants to talk to the last person seen with her.

According to them, a fellow Allen High School graduate was the man seen on video surveillance walking with Christina in the parking garage at the Shops at Legacy. She would never make it to her car.

Plano police public information officer David Tilley says he could not confirm who was with Christina the night she went missing.

"We are not confirming any names that have been brought up. At this point in time, we don't have any evidence that a crime has been committed. What we have is a missing persons investigation," Tilley says. "We don't have a suspect because we don't  have a crime."

CultureMap Dallas is not naming the man because he is not a suspect. Christina Morris' stepmother, Anna Morris, says she's not accusing the man of anything. She just wants to talk to him.

"We have tried to speak to him to find out what he knows, and he won't speak to us. He said his lawyer told him not to talk to us," Anna says.

The family had previously refrained from identifying the man "out of respect for his privacy," but they broke their silence this weekend with signs and a peaceful demonstration outside his Allen home. Christina's mother, Jonni McElroy says it felt empowering to finally call him out. She says he initially lied about walking Christina to the parking garage. "He told police they parted ways at the sidewalk, but we know for a fact that wasn't true," McElroy says. "When the video tape came out, he changed his story."

McElroy believes he knows more details that he hasn't shared.

Reward raised, family of Christina Morris desperate for answers
Anonymous donor elevates Crime Stoppers reward to $25K for information

Posted: Monday, October 20, 2014 5:31 pm | Updated: 5:50 pm, Mon Oct 20, 2014.

 ::snipping3::

Desperate for answers, friends and family spent the weekend picketing outside the Allen home of the man they said was last seen walking with Christina into the parking garage at the Shops at Legacy before she vanished.

Plano PD is not confirming the identity of the man, whom they consider a witness.

Christina’s family is interested in speaking with this man, considered to be a high school acquaintance who often appeared at social gatherings with a mutual group of friends.

“We just want to encourage him to talk, to tell us what he knows,” said Anna Morris, Christina’s stepmother. “We’re living a nightmare, and for all we know he has got the key … to us finding her before it’s too late. We just need him to tell us … what tiny, little thing he may know may be that piece of information that’s keeping her from us right now. We are asking for help.”

According to Mark Morris, Christina’s father, Christina and the man were parked near each other – not across the parking garage as originally thought. Plano PD did not confirm, but said the family made the necessary prearrangements and informed the Plano and Allen police departments about their plans to picket.

Allen PD drove by several times during the picketing to make sure everything was done in a lawful and peaceful manner.

Christina Marie Morris Missing: Abduction Was Her 'Own Worst Nightmare'
Posted: 10/27/2014 5:21 pm EDT Updated: 10/27/2014 6:59 pm EDT

A desperate search is on in Texas for a missing young woman who family members say has experienced the one thing she feared the most – abduction.

"What is happening to her right now has been her own worst nightmare since she has been little," Jonni Lee McElroy told The Huffington Post on Monday.

McElroy's daughter, Christina Marie Morris, 23, was last seen at a parking garage in the early morning hours of Aug. 30, after a night out with friends in Plano.

"She would never have gone into that parking garage by herself," McElroy said. "She never, ever would walk out to her car at night unless someone walked her out."

Morris was, in fact, captured on surveillance video, at about 3:55 a.m. on the morning of her disappearance, entering a parking garage with an acquaintance at The Shops at Legacy in Plano. What happened to the young woman after she entered the garage remains a mystery.

According to McElroy, the man captured on the video is 24-year-old Enrique Arochi, a high school classmate of her daughter.

"He's not someone she regularly hung out with," McElroy said of Arochi. "She had not seen him since high school."

Contacted by HuffPost on Monday, the Plano Police Department did not dispute Arochi was the person captured on video with Morris, but they also did not call him a suspect or person of interest in the case.

"I can tell you that nobody has been ruled out," Plano police spokesman David Tilley told HuffPost.

McElroy said Morris had been club hopping with friends in the hours leading up to her disappearance.

"She hadn't seen her friends in three months because she lives in Fort Worth now," said the young woman's mother.

According to McElroy, her daughter graduated high school a year early and in 2013, received a degree in business and marketing from the University of Texas, in Dallas. She moved to Fort Worth shortly after graduation, to work for Great Expectations, a dating website.

"She met her friends around 9 p.m. the night before she disappeared," McElroy said. "One of the girls is friends with Enrique and had invited him to come with them."

Morris, according to her mom, enjoyed the night out and planned to spend the night at one of her girlfriends' apartment, but decided to go home after a text message dispute with her boyfriend, who was back at her place in Fort Worth.

"She was upset and wanted to go, so Enrique volunteered to walk her to her car," McElroy said.


She added, "Her friends said she did not have much to drink. She suffers from severe migraines, so she's not a big drinker at all."

Morris’ silver Toyota Celica was found in the parking garage four days later, presumably not moved since she had left it there.

The surveillance video that captured Morris and Arochi walking to the parking garage, where his vehicle was also parked, does not indicate either of them are intoxicated. They are not swaying and both appear to be coherent.

"They walked into the parking garage and, according to him, they split and went in opposite directions," Tilley said. "He said he went to one side of the garage where he was parked and she went to the other side of the garage, where her car was parked. A lot of people have said that is not the case – what he is saying is not correct – but we don't know. We don’t have any evidence to support either way."

Tilley said police have obtained additional surveillance videos from the area, but are not releasing them at this time.

"The video has been withheld, as far as from being released, in case this does turn into a criminal investigation," he said.

Plano police said detectives have questioned Arochi and he was initially cooperative, but it remains unclear if he is still talking to police.

"We initially were talking to him and all the people that were with Christina that evening," Tilley said. "They were all cooperative from the initial part of the investigation, but at this point in time, we're not commenting on what cooperation level they have extended to us."

Arochi did not return calls for comment from HuffPost Monday.

Morris’ family, as well as Texas EquuSearch, a missing person search and recovery group, have conducted multiple searches for Morris, but to date have found no sign of her.

"Christina is a beautiful girl," McElroy said. "I am afraid she may have been sold for prostitution. I believe she is still alive -- I feel that. I know I would feel it if she wasn’t."

Missing Woman’s Mother Angry At Police, Possible Witness

October 30, 2014 6:29 PM

Ken Molestina

PLANO (CBSDFW.COM) - It’s been two months since a 23-year old Fort Worth woman, Christina Morris, went missing after walking into a Plano parking garage.

Morris’ mother is demanding answers from police and the man who was last seen with her.

Jonni McElroy says she hasn’t given up hope that her daughter will be found alive. She says she just wants someone to come forward with information.

“I ask myself why. Why has nobody come forth? Why we have no clues. I ask, Why her?”

McElroy is now turning her attention to the young man seen in the last known video of Morris as she walked out of a parking garage at Plano’s Shops at Legacy. The man is identified as Enrique Arochi, a friend of Morris, who has not been named a suspect or person of interest by police. McElroy, however, believes he knows something about her daughter’s disappearance.

“I feel like the one person that walked her to the parking garage has to know something,” said McElroy.

 ::snipping3::

Arochi’s attorney told CBS 11’s Ken Molestina that contrary to what the Morris family believes, he is cooperating with police and has been interviewed several times.

 ::snipping3::

Plano police released a statement to CBS 11:

“The Plano police department currently has two detectives assigned exclusively to this investigation. The investigative team has many other detectives and officers at their disposal for any assistance they need. The investigation remains a high priority case for the department.

The department says there are still no leads.

Last Person Seen With Missing Woman Speaks With CBS 11
October 30, 2014 8:35 PM

Jennifer Lindgren

COLLIN COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) – For the first time, the last known person seen with Christina Morris spoke exclusively with CBS 11 News about the events that happened before her disappearance.

Enrique Arochi graduated from Allen High School with Christina Morris. He says the two were acquaintances, and had mutual friends.

Arochi says he and Morris were part of a larger friends drinking and dining at the Shops at Legacy in Plano on Saturday, August 30.

Just before 4 a.m. Sunday, he and Morris walked together into the shopping center parking garage. The surveillance video captured by security cameras is the last known footage of Morris. The 24-year-old recounted the events after getting to the parking garage. “So we walked and we split and after I saw my car, I went to my car. I don’t know where she went, or if she went to her car. I just went to my car and left.”

Arochi says he does not remember their parting words, or if Morris ever made it to her car. “I honestly didn’t see anything. I was just walking to my car.”

When Morris never showed up for work on September 2, her family called Plano police. Her Toyota Celica was located in the parking garage where the 23-year-old left it.

In the weeks that followed, Arochi says Plano police spoke with him four times. He says detectives also questioned his brother three times, and performed a forensic search of his own car.

Arochi is not a suspect in the case or a person of interest. Plano Police have no suspects at this time, and no evidence that a crime was committed.

 ::snipping3::

Arochi says he has not spoken with Morris’s mother, despite protests Morris’s supporters have staged outside Arochi’s parents’ home in Allen.

“Now they’re protesting in front of my house, asking for answers which I don’t have. Everything I’ve said, I’ve told police. Everything I know I’ve told police,” said Arochi.

 ::snipping3::

The case is also gaining national attention. Arochi says he and his parents have received threats from people all over the country.

“I’m here. I’m not hiding anything. We just don’t want to talk to anybody because I don’t feel like it’s necessary unless it’s with the Plano detectives, or FBI or whoever,” said Arochi.

Arochi says the investigation caused him to lose his job as a manager for Sprint.

He says the stress has taken a toll not only on him, but his parents.

“I’m just really concerned about our safety,” said Arochi.

He says he wanted to tell his story, to clear his name.

“I had nothing to do with her disappearance,” said Arochi, adding he does not know where Morris is.

But the man says if someone knows anything—and Plano police suspect someone does have information—Arochi hopes they’ll come forward.

“I just want them to come forward. It’s not only affecting her family, it’s affecting a lot of
people around us. It’s just not fair if someone’s holding onto that piece of information that may lead to where Christina may be. I just want them to be honest and come forward.”

What wasn't fair to Christina's family was that Arochi initially lied to investigators. 
Doesn't it seem if he were innocent he would want to speak to her family, let them know what her last words were before she went missing, her state of mind, her demeanor?
He would want to reassure them, not hide from them.

Absolutely!  Helping with the search for her would have made sense to me too, if he's completely innocent and concerned about Christina.

Why did he lie?

Searching his car three times, keeping it 11 days the last time, and returning it without the passenger seat belt, floor mats, etc.... tells me LE has reason to believe Christina was in his car.

Enrique Talks: Last Person Seen With Christina Morris Finally Speaks Out

POSTED 9:18 PM, OCTOBER 31, 2014, BY ROBERT WHEELER, UPDATED AT 01:58AM, NOVEMBER 1, 2014

 ::snipping3::

“We never really talked, that night we barely crossed conversation,” Enrique Arochi said.

He was a classmate at Allen High School, and ended up at a party with Christina. It was almost 4A.M. when they both left.

“They’re treating me as a witness. Right now, I’ve cooperated with them since day one,” Arochi explained.  He was stunned when he learned Christina was missing. “My first thought is I hope they find her, I hope she comes back.”

Although police are not naming any persons of interest or suspects in Christina's disappearance, her family says it wants to talk to the last person seen with her.

According to them, a fellow Allen High School graduate was the man seen on video surveillance walking with Christina in the parking garage at the Shops at Legacy. She would never make it to her car.

Plano police public information officer David Tilley says he could not confirm who was with Christina the night she went missing.

"We are not confirming any names that have been brought up. At this point in time, we don't have any evidence that a crime has been committed. What we have is a missing persons investigation," Tilley says. "We don't have a suspect because we don't  have a crime."

CultureMap Dallas is not naming the man because he is not a suspect. Christina Morris' stepmother, Anna Morris, says she's not accusing the man of anything. She just wants to talk to him.

"We have tried to speak to him to find out what he knows, and he won't speak to us. He said his lawyer told him not to talk to us," Anna says.

The family had previously refrained from identifying the man "out of respect for his privacy," but they broke their silence this weekend with signs and a peaceful demonstration outside his Allen home. Christina's mother, Jonni McElroy says it felt empowering to finally call him out. She says he initially lied about walking Christina to the parking garage. "He told police they parted ways at the sidewalk, but we know for a fact that wasn't true," McElroy says. "When the video tape came out, he changed his story."

McElroy believes he knows more details that he hasn't shared. "We're not saying he did it, but he had to have seen something," she says.

I have been told that I often suspect a conspiracy when there is none but ....

1.  It would be interesting to know the family of the EA (Enrique Arochi) has any influential connections.

2.  It makes sense that the intentional obstruction of a missing person investigation would be considered a felony.

3.  It makes sense that the intentional obstruction of a missing person person investigation implies that EA at the very least knows something.

4.  If the allegations by Christina's family pertaining to EA's changing story reflects the truth the implication is that Plano police officer David Tilley is not being truthful when he stated on September 8th that EA was cooperating.

Man last seen with missing woman breaks his silence
Morris family remains frustrated that Enrique Arochi won’t talk to them

Posted: Monday, November 3, 2014 2:32 pm

Brittany Feagans, bfeagans@starlocalmedia.com

More than two months have passed without a trace of Christina Morris, and her family’s frustration increases every day.

On Thursday, about 100 supporters attended a candlelight vigil at Bishop Park at the Shops at Legacy to stand strong in solidarity for the missing woman.

“The support has been great from everybody, people I don’t even know,” said Mark Morris, Christina’s father. “What we really wish though is that Enrique [Arochi] would talk [to us]. I’m not accusing him of anything, but he has to know something. It just doesn’t make sense. It eats at me every day.”

Arochi is the high school acquaintance seen on video surveillance walking with Christina to their cars in a parking garage around 3:57 a.m. on Aug. 30, the last time Christina was seen. He has spoken with law enforcement multiple times and is not considered a person of interest in her disappearance, according to Plano PD.

 ::snipping3::

“I’m not hiding, I’m just protecting myself at this point from all the threats [and] all the dirty messages I’m getting,” he said. “I just want them to know that I’m really sorry about what they’re going through, and I wish I would have walked her to her car that night so none of this would have happened. I pray for them every single day, me and my family do. When I go to church, I kneel down to God and say, ‘Please let them find Christina so this can all be over with.’”

Arochi said he had never really hung out with Christina prior to Aug. 29, when a group of mutual friends went to bars at the Shops at Legacy and then a nearby Whataburger for food. He said after eating, he decided to leave, and Christina went with him.

“We parted when I saw my car,” he said. “I just got in it and left, and there’s proof that I left right away because of the Toll Tag [booth] that I drove by 11 minutes after leaving. It was on Custer [Road], so it was pretty obvious I was heading home.

“I had to work [Aug. 30] at 8 a.m.; that’s why I went home that night. … I had to be up by 7 a.m. [Law enforcement] went to make sure I was at work. They took the cameras from my job.”

And Christina’s loved ones aren’t the only ones affected by her disappearance: A Sprint store manager, Arochi said he was given a leave of absence until “things kind of blow over” because detectives went to his work.

“It’s affecting us tremendously,” he said. “I don’t even feel like going outside is safe anymore because they’ve been sharing my pictures on Facebook. They’ve even been sharing the picture of my car, I mean that to me is a little too much. That’s invading my privacy. That’s why I decided to come out and show my face, because they’ve already done it so it’s kind of too late to step back and not do it. … I’m not acting as a victim, but I just want people to know my side as well.”

Arochi’s mother, Elisabeth, expressed her concern for both the Morris family and her own.

“We’re all interested in finding Christina,” she said, translated from Spanish by Arochi. “It hurts me as a mom what her mom’s going through, but it also hurts me how they’re treating Enrique, who is an innocent person. We’re praying as a family and between friends so this girl can be found. Stop harassing Enrique … because it affects all of us.”

The Arochi family may have broken their silence, but this has done little to ease the frustration of Christina’s loved ones.

“I’m so angry these last few days,” said Jonni McElroy, Christina’s mother. “Why have [Enrique and his family] not come to us as a family? We have reached out to them. You can say you’ve cooperated with police all you want, but he really didn’t – he lied from day one. He lied about where he was parked, he lied where he walked into, plain and simple. That’s not called cooperation. The police may not be able to say that, but I can.”

Arochi said he did reach out to Christina’s mother after she was reported missing on Sept. 2.
“I called her mom right away,” he said. “She told me she was going to call the police, and I said, ‘Well give my number to them. Whatever I can help with I’ll be more than willing to do it.’ I even told her ‘You can call me whenever you want to.’

“The first day that I went up there [to the police station], after the … interrogation they asked me, ‘Are you willing to let us look at your car and take pictures of it?’ and I [agreed]. They took pictures of my car and asked me to take my shirt off, and I agreed to it. They took pictures of my back and my stomach to see if I had any scratches, and obviously I didn’t. The second time they took my car for an hour, and the third time was for 11 days. That’s when they took it apart. I guess because the first two times they didn’t do a forensic test, the last time was when they did. They just wanted to make sure she never got in my car. They gave me my car back and said, ‘Hey, I’m sorry about everything that you’re going through,’ and I haven’t talked to them ever since. They haven’t tried to reach out.”

When asked why he has not participated in searches or passed out flyers, Arochi said, “I didn’t really know her. I wish I would [have] and I would want to, but I just don’t feel like their family would take it in a good way if I do show up. I feel like they would be on me, especially now.

“Of course I would like to talk to them and to comfort them, but I just don’t want to put myself in that spot. I already talked to the authorities, so I don’t feel like it’s necessary for me to tell my side of the story because they’re going to be asking me, and they’re going to be aggressive, because that’s how I would be if my girl was missing, too. I don’t have a daughter, but I can understand their emotions.”

 ::snipping3::

Still, Arochi said he has no idea what happened to Christina after he left that parking garage.

“I wish I knew. I wish I heard something or would have stopped or something,” he said. “[People] assume; they come up to conclusions that they think they know. Somehow they think they’re detectives and they want to solve the case. … [Detectives] searched my car multiple times for DNA. They did a forensic test on it and they took it apart. I’m still here for a reason. They’re treating me as a witness, not a suspect, because that’s what I am, if anything.

 ::snipping3::

Anna Morris, Christina’s stepmother, said the family began picketing outside Arochi’s Allen home a few weeks ago after attempts to reach him privately failed.

“We only did what we could legally and peacefully do after he refused to speak with us,” she said. “Our intent was never to harass him or his family, it was only to persuade him to give us the information we need. We have never made accusations about him and only used his name after weeks of silence. We have absolutely nothing to do with any threats he may have received – his phone number was shown on his non-private Facebook page. He says that he cooperated with police, but he does not say that he changed his story more than once.”

Arochi said statements like this are why he does not want to speak with Christina’s family.

“I don’t see how they would know if I’ve only talked to the detectives,” he said. “That’s why I don’t want to talk to them, because they’re obviously going to change things on me. But how would they know if I’ve only talked to the detectives? Obviously if there was an inconsistency with the detectives they would be on me, because that’s pretty sketchy to be changing stories all the time. I went to talk to them four times – four days in a row, and my story was consistent, according to [police].”

 Christina's mother, Jonni McElroy says it felt empowering to finally call him out. She says he initially lied about walking Christina to the parking garage. "He told police they parted ways at the sidewalk, but we know for a fact that wasn't true," McElroy says. "When the video tape came out, he changed his story."

Mom Reveals New Details About Christina Morris Case
Tuesday, Nov 4, 2014

After talking to Plano police, the mother of a Fort Worth woman missing since Aug. 30 said she thinks the man who was with her daughter that day is hiding something.
Jonni McElroy talked to NBC 5 about the detailed conversation she had with Plano police Monday concerning the disappearance of her daughter — 23-year-old Christina Morris — and the man with whom she was last seen, Enrique Arochi.

“We’ve learned that Enrique has lied since day one,” McElroy said.

McElroy said police told her Arochi's phone history was cleared before police confiscated it.

"He was trying to erase information. That is the way I look at it," she said. "Why do you need to erase every single thing from the phone?" ....

“He said he never parked in the parking garage, he never walked Christina to the car, until that was proven on the tape that he walked Christina to the car in the parking garage,” said McElroy.

Police Search Home, Car Of Man Last Seen With Christina Morris
November 4, 2014 12:55 PM


PLANO (CBSDFW.COM) - Plano police have searched the home and car of the man last seen with missing Fort Worth woman Christina Morris.

 ::snipping3::

According to the warrant, which was executed last month, police searched Arochi’s 2010 Chevrolet Camaro for bodily fluids, hair and DNA evidence. The warrant does not say what was found.

Police also say Arochi has made many false statements over the course of the investigation, which have hindered detectives, including lying about contacting Morris’ boyfriend right after she disappeared.

Arochi’s phone shows that calls and text messages were sent to Morris’ boyfriend after her disappearance.  However, Arochi has told police that he let Morris borrow his phone and that she placed the calls and texts.

Arochi had bruising to his “bruising to his right forearm” and “abrasions to his right hand” following Morris’ disappearance and told police that he had punched his car fender.  But police say that story was inconsistent with the damage the auto repair shop found.

Arochi’s coworkers also told police that he was walking with a limp and had a visable bite mark the day after Morris disappeared.

PLANO, Texas -
Police in Plano have searched the home and car of the man last seen with Christina Morris.

According to a search warrant affidavit signed Sept. 26, officers went through Enrique Arochi's home in Allen and his 2010 Chevrolet Camero looking for bodily fluids and trace evidence related to Morris' disappearance. ....

The search warrant says Arochi lied to police about where he parked his car that night.

Surveillance video suggests he and Morris were parked “within close proximity of each other.”

Cell phone records show he called and sent text messages to Morris' boyfriend after her disappearance. When he was first questioned by police, Arochi told officers he didn't talk to Morris while walking her to her car. He later said he must have let her use his phone, according to the affidavit.

Arochi consented to a police search on his car on Sept. 4. The affidavit says the “interior appeared to be extremely clean and to have been recently vacuumed.” There was fresh damage to the front right fender of the vehicle.

Investigators noted Arochi had a bruise on his right forearm and cuts on his right hand. He explained he got them a few days earlier when he punching his car because he was angry. But the affidavit says “the damage was inconsistent with Arochi's explanation of how the damage occurred.”

“The most likely way Morris could have left the parking garage undetected was in Arochi's vehicle,” the search warrant says.

PLANO, Texas - Police in Plano have searched the home and car of the man last seen with Christina Morris.

According to a search warrant affidavit signed Sept. 26, officers went through Enrique Arochi's home in Allen and his 2010 Chevrolet Camero looking for bodily fluids and trace evidence related to Morris' disappearance.

 ::snipping3::

During a press conference, Morris' mother said she wants Arochi to be truthful with police about what really happened that night.

Arochi's parents told FOX4 they believe he has been unfairly singled out and said there is no proof that he's involved.

The search warrant said Arochi lied to police about where he parked his car that night. Surveillance video suggests he and Morris were parked “within close proximity of each other.”

Cell phone records show he called and sent text messages to Morris' boyfriend after her disappearance. When he was first questioned by police, Arochi told officers he didn't talk to Morris while walking her to her car. He later said he must have let her use his phone, according to the affidavit.

THE SEARCH WARRANT AFFIDAVIT - IN A NUTSHELL

Police: Man last seen with Morris interfered with investigation
November 5, 2014


PLANO — Documents filed by Plano police say that the man last seen with 23-year-old Christina Morris made false statements about several important aspects of the case, and probably left a Plano shopping center with Morris in his car.

On Wednesday police said Enrique Arochi isn't a suspect in the disappearance of Morris, but they did call him a suspect in interfering with a public duty investigation.

The allegations were made in an affidavit that police used to obtain a warrant to search the man's car for any evidence of what may have happened when Morris vanished from a parking garage at The Shops at Legacy in Plano during the early morning hours of August 30.

<snipped>

A friend who was part of the group that night told police several of them parked in the garage. According to her, the cars belonging to Morris and Arochi were parked "within close proximity of each other."

When confronted, Arochi told police, "I must have parked there."

Investigators said a co-worker of Arochi reported that on the day after Morris' disappearance, Arochi was limping and complaining that his ribs hurt. He also had a bite mark on his arm. Arochi, the affidavit said, told his co-worker that he'd suffered those injuries in a bar fight the previous night.

Police said Arochi originally told them he hadn't called Morris' boyfriend, Hunter Foster, after he and Morris left a party near the shopping center and began walking to their cars.

Evidence showed, however, that Arochi's phone had been used to contact Foster at 3:50, 3:53 and 3:55 on the morning of her disappearance. When presented with that evidence, police said, Arochi told them that he loaned Morris his phone and she must have contacted her boyfriend.

At 3:58 a.m., a surveillance camera captured images of Arochi's 2010 Camaro leaving the parking garage.

Authorities said that when they searched Arochi's car, it had been cleaned and vacuumed. The affidavit also says "fresh damage" was found on the front right fender of the Camaro.

According to the warrant, Arochi said the damage to his vehicle occurred when he became angry while having trouble turning his tires several days before Morris' disappearance. He told police he became frustrated and punched his car several times.

They said Arochi told them the blows to the car explained why he had cuts on his right hand and a bruise on his forearm.

"The damage was inconsistent with Arochi's explanation of how the damage occurred," the warrant states.

The affidavit also says that a gas station surveillance camera that night showed Arochi inspecting his car, wiping down the passenger door, and cleaning the windows and backside of the vehicle with a squeegee.

Police also said that Arochi mis-stated the route he took home. According to police, he first told authorities he exited the shopping center heading east on Legacy Drive, where he then entered Central Expressway and exited at Bethany Road toward his Allen home. However, the report states that toll tag records showed he took the Sam Rayburn Tollway and traveled through Custer Road at about 4:08 a.m.

"It frightens me," said Anna Morris, the missing woman's stepmother. "It terrifies me. It does strengthen the belief that he obviously knows something that happened in that garage."

Arochi denies Morris was ever in his vehicle. He has said he was confused about which parking garage he used because the garages look identical and he has a poor sense of direction.

Man Last Seen with Christina Morris Arrested for Stealing

POSTED 5:35 PM, NOVEMBER 5, 2014, BY ROBERT WHEELER

WYLIE, TX — Things are heating up for Enrique Arochi — the last person seen with Christina Morris. We’ve learned he no longer works as a Sprint Store manager in Wylie because he was arrested for stealing a phone.

“He took a phone from the Sprint store. He completely used a different phone for a couple different days after the disappearance of Christina,” a former co-worker, who wants to remain anonymous said.

Wylie PD arrested Arochi with the phone. He was later released on bond.

“When they recovered the phone, the phone had been wiped clean,” Christina’s stepmother, Anna Morris said.

And that may not be the only thing that got cleaned up.

Cops say they found another video of Arochi at a gas station, just hours after he was seen walking into the Shops at Legacy parking garage with Morris. Plano PD won’t release it, but say Arochi is seen using a squeegee to clean the trunk area of his car and wiping off the passenger door with a cloth.

After allegedly cleaning his car, he showed up to work looking like he’d had a rough night.

He came in at 11, looked hungover, looked like a big mess, and had a big bruise on his arm,” Jacob Talamantes said.

Tuesday we told you how Plano PD released a search warrant that shows another co-worker says Arochi had bruises and a bite mark.

“At first he said he got into a fight at a bar, over his car. Later he changed his story that he was working on his car and that the rim fell on him.”

not sure if, "traveled through" means got off and traveled on custer,or passed the custer exit
and traveled on through on the SRT

on pg 3, 3rd para from bottom,EA says he used legacy dr, and central exprs
to his home but his toll records show he used sam rayburn toll, and passed
off ramp at custer road. JMO, LE knows where EA got off toll rd
shops to custer road
https://goo.gl/maps/xK5Ai

this shows he didnt need to use any other road but legacy to get home, if he
was only going straight home no stops, and the kroger store, is close to his home
shops to EA home  to kroger

Wylie Police Report Arrest of Man Last Seen With Christina Morris
Man Last Seen with Christina Morris Arrest Record
Thursday, Nov 6, 2014


On Tuesday, NBC 5 uncovered the details of a warrant obtained by the Plano Police Department to search Arochi's vehicle.

Then on Wednesday, Wylie police released an incident report from September in which Arochi was arrested and accused of stealing a Samsung cell phone from the Sprint store in Wylie where he worked. The phone was listed as “stolen” and “recovered” by Wylie Police, who also released Arochi’s mugshot.

Arochi posted bond Sept. 22.

Christina Morris’ stepmother, Anna Morris, and mother, Jonni McElroy, mentioned the arrest during a press conference they had called on Tuesday morning.

McElroy said she’s been told by police that the phone was returned to the Sprint store “wiped” of data. Plano police did not confirm that information.  ...

Carlos Quintanilla, a spokesman for the Arochi family, said he’s “disappointed” to learn about Arochi's Wylie arrest, but said that it does not connect Arochi to Morris in any way.

Fundraisers held to aid in search for Christina Morris

FORT WORTH, Texas -
The search continues for the missing Fort Worth woman who disappeared over two months ago.

New information led a team of volunteers to Lake Lavon on Saturday in attempts to locate 23 year old Christina Morris. She was last seen August 30 at the Shops of Legacy in Plano.

Family members of Morris say the search was taking place, although would not specify exactly where or what they were looking for.

Jonni McElroy, Christina's mother, has been saying it-since day one. “We're not going to give up. My saying is there is no option.”

McElroy continues, “We need to make sure that we really need to find that evidence to match up with other stuff that police have been working on. To get the case rolling.”

Volunteers covered new grounds near Lake Lavon based on new information released earlier this week.

It involves Enrique Arochi, the last person to see Christina alive in a parking garage at the Shops of Legacy.

Grand Jury To Hear Case About Missing Fort Worth Woman
November 17, 2014 5:33 PM

Bud Gillett

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - A Collin County Grand Jury is set to take up the case of Christina Morris, the Fort Worth woman missing since August and last seen in Plano. Grand Jury records indicate the panel is looking at the last man known to have been with her.

Subpoenas indicate a Grand Jury will hear the case December 4, and Christina Morris’ mother is grateful the investigative process is picking up momentum.

“My heart is literally shattered right now,” she told CBS 11 News as she bundled up to begin another walking search for clues Monday afternoon. Jonni McElroy is still searching. Searching for her daughter who disappeared nearly three months ago.

“I still believe she’s alive until I’m otherwise proven wrong. If I am proven wrong and she’s not then she deserves a proper burial… everything,” she said.

The subpoenas show the Grand Jury wants information on and interviews with Enrique Arochi, also known as Enrique Arochi Gutierrez. He is seen in parking surveillance garage video with Morris in the early morning hours of the last known day she was seen alive.

Plano Police Conduct New Search for Christina Morris

Wednesday, Nov 19, 2014 • Updated at 4:59 PM CST

Plano police are searching Wednesday afternoon for missing woman Christina Morris, nearly three months after she was last seen.

Detectives were on foot searching in Allen in a wooded area west of U.S. Highway 75 between West Bethany Drive and Chase Oaks.

Detectives Search Field For Missing Woman Christina Morris
November 19, 2014 4:10 PM

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A story continues to develop in Collin County. That is where police have executed at least one new search for missing Fort Worth woman Christina Morris.

CBS 11 News found investigators from the Plano Police Department searching an area just off U.S. 75/Central Expressway, near the Watters Creek shopping center. The open field sits between the cities of Allen and Plano.

Between 15 and 20 detectives spent some time walking through high grass, thicket and a creek bed. They left the area without finding any trace of the woman who’s been missing for nearly three months.

Police told CBS 11 the search does not mean they have any evidence Morris is dead or alive. 

They said the efforts are part of a regular search pattern that detectives have been conducting since Morris disappeared in August.

 ::snipping3::

The latest search area is about four to five miles from where Morris was last seen.

CBS 11 approached detectives as they left the area Wednesday, but they would not comment.

After the search CBS 11 spoke with Morris’ mother, Jonni McElroy, who said she’s glad authorities are looking for her daughter. During the conversation McElroy also told us that she is actually out today conducting her own search, the same as she has done almost every day since her daughter vanished.

It is a moment Jonni McElroy cherishes and needs every morning.

"Every morning, I will never miss a letter to her until I find her. I will never miss a letter," Jonni said about her daily Facebook post addressed to her missing daughter, Christina Morris.

For Jonni, it's not just words in a post, but a conversation they have.

"She's reading it, she's reading it;" the mother said. "Maybe not physically, but she's reading it in her heart."

Her daughter has been missing close to three months now. Searches continue for Christina Morris. Plano police searched a creekbed for clues on Wednesday, but came up empty.
Jonni McElroy plans to leave North Texas for Tulsa, where her husband and stepchildren live. After three months, she said she's not giving up or moving on, but fighting from home.

She will be taking some mementos with her that belong to Christina: a bible with Christina's name inscribed, a photo she cherishes, and skateboarding shoes a mother couldn't stop caressing.
"This hurts the most. When I touch these, I feel very close to her... Very close," she said.

But leaving North Texas on Saturday will still hurt.

"It's going to be very emotional, even though I'm only four-and-a-half hours away," Jonni said.

Every letter ends the same way: "I will always love you the mostest."

Canines assist search for Christina Morris
Three MARK9 Search and Rescue dogs join hunt for missing woman

Posted: Monday, November 24, 2014 1:09 pm

by Brittany Feagans

Nearly three months after her disappearance, a canine search and rescue group has joined in the hunt for 23-year-old Christina Morris, last seen about 4 a.m. on Aug. 30 in a parking garage at the Shops at Legacy.

Based in Mesquite, MARK9 Search and Rescue provides search services to any fire, police or government agency that requests its assistance in the Metroplex. Dogs and handlers are specifically trained to assist in search and rescue efforts for people who are lost, missing or in danger.

“We only go out if called or asked by a police or fire department or another official agency,” said Chris Holmberg, MARK9 president and canine handler. “Christina’s family called and asked, and I explained that we can’t just show up and search – we have to be OK’d to do that because we don’t want to get in the way or mess up an investigation.”

After the Morris family gained approval from the Plano Police Department, MARK9 was able to get involved to help locate the missing woman.

“We are welcoming any assistance we can get, but we have asked organized search parties to communicate with us ahead so we can provide them information on how to handle potential evidence if located, and also so we can reduce the risk of duplicating search efforts,” said Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman.

On Sunday, three canines – Gypsy, an Australian Shepherd, and Hope and Faith, both German Shepherds – joined an organized search led by Barkley Sutton.

“The way they use their senses and the way we use our senses are just so different; it’s amazing,” Holmberg said. “The way it was always explained to me was if I walk into a room and somebody’s cooking beef stew, when a dog walks in they smell the beef and they smell corn and green beans and the different individual spices, but they smell them all separately.

That’s why when you ask them to find a specific individual they can go do that, because they have so many more scent receptors to pick up those different smells.”

While she couldn’t get into specifics about the search for Morris, Holmberg said her organization is dedicated to locating missing persons.

“If they want us to come out, we are more than willing to be there,” she said. “I just could not imagine more of a nightmare than one of my children missing and not knowing what happened to them.”

Founded about 20 years ago by Max and Fleta Kirk, MARK9 has participated in numerous search and rescue operations, including high-profile cases such as Arlington 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, whose 1996 abduction and murder led to the creation of the AMBER Alert.

In May, the group assisted in the recovery of retired Dallas Police Department Assistant Chief Gregory Holliday, whose body was discovered in a Dallas creek.

Holmberg said MARK9 has received 10 calls for assistance in 2014.

 ::snipping3::

The MARK9 team trains for urban, wilderness, disaster, water and HRD, or cadaver, searches.

 ::snipping3::

MARK9 dogs are trained to search for both living and deceased victims, with a “hope for the best, train for the worst” motto. As the dogs are friendly, MARK9 does not search for criminals.

Search Intensifies For Christina Morris
Search intensifies for woman who went missing in Plano
By Johnny Archer

Sunday, Nov 30, 2014 • Updated at 11:26 PM CST

November 30, 2014 marked three months since a Fort Worth woman vanished from a shopping center in Plano. The search for her will intensify this week when a team of cadaver dogs will be brought to North Texas from Houston.

“I can’t believe we are at this point,” said Anna Morris, Christina’s stepmother. “I really believed she would be home for the holidays.”

For three months Christina Morris is nowhere to be found. Her family's pain grows stronger and stronger.

“We're supposed to protect her,” said Anna Morris. “We're supposed to stand in front of her and anything that's going to harm her. And we can’t find her.”

Morris disappeared August 30, 2014 from the Shops at Legacy in Plano. Surveillance video from the shopping center are the last images of Morris alive.

Morris’ family hired a private investigator. But just like police, Paula Boudreaux is having difficulty finding hard evidence.

“It is very frustrating because you have people with information who don't want to talk,” said Boudreaux. “Everybody is afraid.”

Family, friends mourn 3rd month without Christina Morris
November 30, 2014

DALLAS -- It's been three months since Christina Morris was last seen walking to her car at the Shops at Legacy in Plano, during the early morning hours of Aug. 30.

Cameras captured her leaving with a friend. She walked out of the picture, and never returned home.

Five days later, searches started, once her live in boyfriend reported her missing. Her family from Fort Worth said she would not just disappear. There were searches on foot, in water, by drones. They found nothing.
After three weeks, friends gathered in Allen to prayed for Morris, maintaining faith that she's alive and promising to never stop looking.

Sept. 30 marked one month gone.

The original reward for information about Morris gets help from donors, growing from $5,000 to $10,000, then $25,000 for anything that would lead to the arrest of her attacker. Tips come in everyday, but there were no solid leads for another four weeks.

We checked in with Morris' Stepmom after two months gone.

"I believe someone knows something about what happened in that parking garage that morning," said Anna Morris. "I don't understand why we can't get that information."

In the next week, there was new information, relating to the man last seen with Morris. Plano Police said Enrique Arochi may have obstructed its investigation into her disappearance.

"I feel like they're wasting their time on me when they could be looking at someone else that's actually the suspect or the person who actually did it," he said.

Private investigator weighs in on Morris disappearance
Second cadaver dog team joins search
Brittany Feagans, bfeagans@starlocalmedia.com | Updated 44 minutes ago

As the three month anniversary of Christina Morris’ disappearance came and went with still no sign of the missing woman, the search has intensified for the Allen native, last seen on surveillance video walking into a parking garage at The Shops at Legacy in the early morning hours of Aug. 30.


Five dogs from the Houston-based Special K-9s Search and Recovery team will join the hunt for Morris today, making it the second canine group to get involved in the investigation, said Paula Boudreaux, the Morris family’s private investigator. MARK9 Search and Rescue, from Mesquite, joined late last month.

“When you die, you immediately start decomposing. It’s a sweet smell, and only the dogs can pick up that smell,” said Boudreaux, hired by the Morris family in mid-October. “Dogs can smell it for up to 30 years, because the smell is given off for [that long].”

Cadaver dogs may indicate the worst case scenario, but Boudreaux said she still hopes to find Christina alive. In May, her diligence helped bring Andrew Pena home, a Plainview man who’d been missing for six weeks when Boudreaux joined the search. Feared dead, Pena’s family had been planning his funeral when the investigator found him alive in another state.

“When I fall into something, I fall in deep,” she said. “My goal is to find the person, dead or alive. That’s my job:  to bring them home one way or another. I like the hunt, and I’m a good tracker. It’s all about putting together a puzzle.”

That puzzle has proven to be particularly difficult in Morris’s disappearance, since little evidence has been uncovered and people aren’t talking, Boudreaux said.

“I need information. If you don’t give me information, I can’t help,” she said. “One thing I have a hard time on this case is there are so many different people involved and it’s hard to figure out which places have been searched. I was [searching] one day, and then an hour later, I found out they already searched there.”

According to Boudreaux, law enforcement typically doesn’t like working with PIs, but Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman, said the department has a good relationship with her.

“It’s not a bad thing to have another person from the outside looking into it, as well, that has investigation experience, and let them go down their own route of investigation,” Tilley said. “It doesn’t hurt to have a couple of different angles being looked at. She’s been really good about if she has information that she thinks is important, she will contact us and make sure that we’re aware of it. She’s been very responsible.”

 ::snipping3::

One person the seasoned PI can’t seem to figure out is Enrique Arochi, the last known person seen with Morris before she disappeared.

“From the look of him and the way that he acts … there’s something not right about him. … He wasn’t being truthful, and my question would be, ‘Why?’ If you’re innocent, then sit down and talk to people,” Boudreaux said. “Don’t just go hide in your house – that’s ridiculous. The other day, I found out he had turned his phone off when he was on [State Highway] 121 between the Shops and Custer. And then the damage to his car, the scratches and bite marks on his arm, the limping. You think about things like that. I’m a straight shooter; I’m going to tell you how it is. If you look at his eyes, they jump really fast left to right when he’s talking. That’s abnormal.”

Boudreaux said that in her career as a PI, every person she has looked for disappeared under circumstances involving drugs, money or sex. She believes Morris’s disappearance is somehow drug-related.

“[The people she was with] like to party, and I think it all stems from drugs,” she said. “I’ve tried to tell these people that do drugs that I don’t really care about the drugs. I don’t care what you’re putting in your veins or down your throat. I want Christina, and I want you to tell me things. Then you can go back to popping your pills or whatever.”

And for the people she believes know more than they’re letting on, Boudreaux said it’s time to talk.

“I think they’re just being quiet because they’ve been hounded,” she said. “I think there are a few people who are hiding something – what, I don’t know. I think they need to get off their high horse. What if this was your mother or your [sister] or your daughter?”

Dogs get positive hit in search for Christina Morris
December 5, 2014

PLANO, Texas -
A private investigator out searching for Christina Morris in Plano said her dogs got a positive hit on Friday.

Paula Boudreaux told FOX 4 that her cadaver dogs reacted to what she thinks is a trace of blood in the Shops at Legacy parking garage. It was near where she said Enrique Arochi's car was parked on the night Morris disappeared.

Arochi was the last person to see Morris on Aug. 30. Surveillance video shows them walking together into the parking garage.

Arochi originally told police they parted ways before Morris got to her car, but a search warrant affidavit suggests that was not true.

Plano police have not named Arochi as a suspect or charge him with any crime. In an interview with FOX 4 he denied any involvement in her death.

Police were not involved in Friday's search. Boudreaux is working independently for Morris' family.

She and her dogs also searched in two other locations, including a neighborhood around Highway 121 and Exchange Parkway, but both turned up empty, she said.

Boudreaux plans to continue searching Friday afternoon and throughout the weekend.

It's not yet clear if police will return to the parking garage because of her findings.

Boyfriend of Christina Morris faces drug charge
December 10, 2014

Federal agents have arrested 15 people in connection with illegal drug activity at a club in Northwest Dallas.

One of the suspects is Hunter Lee Foster, 23. If that name sounds familiar, he is the boyfriend of Christina Morris, the Fort Worth woman who vanished in Plano last August.

The drug case against Foster, however, is unrelated to the Morris case.

The U.S. Attorney's office unsealed indictments Tuesday in the drug conspiracy crackdown.

Foster spoke with News 8 three months ago, at which time he expressed remorse for failing to alert authorities and family members to Morris' disappearance more quickly.

Foster and 11 of the 15 suspects are in federal custody. Foster faces one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. If convicted, he is subject to a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a $1 million fine.

News 8 asked the mother of Christina Morris, Jonni McElroy, for her reaction to Foster's arrest.

"I'm sick to my stomach," she said. "Do I still think he's responsible for Christina's disappearance? No. I just hope this gets people interested [in Christina's case] and to speak up."

Christina Morris' boyfriend among 15 indicted in drug sting
Posted: Dec 09, 2014 9:16 PM CST
Updated: Dec 09, 2014 10:46 PM CST

The boyfriend of Christina Morris, a woman who's been missing for more than three months, was indicted recently in connection to a drug sting.

FOX 4 first exposed alleged drug abuse at a local night club in September as part of a news station investigation, and now, 15 people have been indicted after a Dallas police and federal investigation.

Among those arrested and indicted was Morris' live-in boyfriend, Hunter Lee Foster.

Foster, 23, faces a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

The indictment says on Aug. 1, Foster was working with others to deal molly, a form of ecstasy.

Foster and Morris lived together in Fort Worth.

Morris disappeared after a night out with friends.

She was last seen Aug. 30 walking with a friend to a parking garage at the Shops at Legacy in Plano.

Her disappearance has been the focus of numerous police and volunteer searches around Collin County.

Morris' stepmother, Anna, talked with FOX 4 Tuesday night about the news.

She says she hopes this does not cause a distraction in the effort to find Morris.

“They're separate,” said Anna. “They're separate cases, and I don't want people to assume that because Hunter has been arrested for these crimes that Christina was somehow involved or put herself into this position, because that is just not true.”

Most of the 15 people indicted face federal charges of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says the drugs involved everything from cocaine to heroin, and guns were seized during the arrests.

Thanks Green Eyes.

There were so many red flags that implicated this guy from the get go.  Why did the arrest take place now?  Could it be that Enrique Arochi may be talking?  Could it be that a behind the scenes plea deal implies Christina's family will receive a measure of closure?

Nevertheless ... my prayers are with with the family as they endure this Christmas season without Christina.

Thanks again.

Janet

Plano police arrest Enrique Arochi for aggravated kidnapping in Christina Morris case
BY TERESA GUBBINS  12.13.14 | 1:05 pm

Plano police have arrested Enrique Arochi, 24, of Allen, and charged him with aggravated kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of Christina Morris, the Fort Worth woman who has been missing since August 30.

A police spokesman said that they found DNA evidence of Morris in Arochi's car. "The basis of this arrest stems in part from results of DNA samples that were collected earlier in the investigation," said spokesman David Tilley.

Tilley said that they still don't know where Morris is but that it appeared she was in Arochi's car.

Arochi was arrested at around 7:50 am at his Allen home in the 1200 block of Harvard Lane, and his 2010 Chevrolet Camaro was towed away.

Morris' live-in boyfriend Hunter Lee Foster was arrested on December 9 on a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance for sales of Ecstacy, but his arrest is unrelated to her disappearance.

BREAKING: Aggravated kidnapping arrest made in connection with Christina Morris (Updated)
Plano PD still searching for missing woman

(Update: 1:57 p.m.)Plano police say that Arochi has been transferred to Collin County Jail after he was arrested this morning and charged with aggravated kidnapping. A search warrant was also executed at the Arochi household, according to Tilley.

"We collected the evidence based on the search warrant based on his vehicle," he said. "It’s a little bittersweet; our primary goal, what we wanted most, was to find Christina. Clearly, if her disappearance was a result of a criminal act, we want to be able to determine that. We now believe that is the case."

While Plano police are not releasing what DNA evidence was found in Arochi's car, officials say it was instrumental in the charges filed against the man last seen with Morris. Tilley said that as the investigation unfolds it is possible that other arrests may be made and additional charges may be filed.

"We still believe somebody out there has some information and they’re just not coming out with it," Tilley said. "The thing we want to stress more than anything else, is this is one step further in the process of this investigation. The biggest piece of the puzzle that needs to be solved for this family is finding ... Morris."

(Original Story 10:13 a.m.)
At 7:50 a.m., Plano Police Department detectives executed an arrest warrant on Enrique Gutierrez Arochi, 24, at his Allen home.

Arochi was arrested without incident and has been charged with aggravated kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of Christina Morris.

"The basis of this arrest stems in part from results of DNA samples that were collected earlier," said Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman. "We still do not know where Christina is ... but it appears that she was in [Arochi's] car."

Tilley did not say what sort of DNA evidence was collected, only that it came back positive as Christina's DNA.

"We're very, very active right now in this investigation," he said. "This is by no means over.

At this point in time with an arrest made the investigation just magnifies even that much more."

The Plano PD Crime Scene Unit remained at the scene at the 1200 block of Harvard Lane in Allen. A tow truck removed Arochi's 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.

"I’m glad they got him and I’m glad he’s not at his house anymore feeling like he’s got away with something," said Mark Morris, Christina's father. "Hopefully he talks now. He’s looking at a long time in jail."

The Morris family found out about the arrest when detectives arrived at their home to deliver the information firsthand.

“We just didn’t know what to think at first when they were coming here, whether they found Christina or what was happening – it was just a big whirl,” said Anna Morris, Christina’s stepmother. “We are very glad for these developments. It’s what we’ve suspected from the beginning, but we still don’t know where Christina is. I’m hoping we’ll find that out soon.”

While it is unclear where in the car Christina’s DNA was located, Arochi has long denied that the missing woman was ever in his car, per interviews and a search warrant affidavit executed in September.

“[The detectives] have been really good and I have a lot of faith in the Plano Police Department and always have,” Mark said. “I’m glad that the DNA evidence has come back to give us some answers hopefully. This is something we’ve thought all along and now this kind of proves it. He has just consistently lied nonstop. I’m glad we’re getting somewhere now, and I’m hoping that she’s somewhere that she’s still OK.

http://www.ice.gov/factsheets/detainer-faq

December 28, 2011

Q: What is an immigration detainer?

A: An immigration detainer (Form I-247) is a notice that DHS issues to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to inform the LEA that ICE intends to assume custody of an individual in the LEA's custody.

An immigration detainer serves three key functions: 1) to notify an LEA that ICE intends to assume custody of an alien in the LEA's custody once the alien is no longer subject to the LEA's detention; 2) to request information from an LEA about an alien's impending release so ICE may assume custody before the alien is released from the LEA's custody; and 3) to request that the LEA maintain custody of an alien who would otherwise be released for a period not to exceed 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) to provide ICE time to assume custody.

Q: Why does ICE issue detainers?

A: Detainers are critical for ICE to be able to identify and ultimately remove criminal aliens who are currently in federal, state or local custody.

ICE relies on the cooperation of our state and local law enforcement partners in this effort.

Q: What if the LEA needs the individual to remain in the United States for prosecution or other law enforcement purposes?

A: Local law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are advised that once individuals are in ICE custody, they may be removed from the United States. If the LEA wants an individual to remain in the United States for prosecution or other law enforcement purposes, including acting as a witness, the agency should notify the local Field Office or the ICE Law Enforcement Support Center at (802) 872-6020.

Q: Where does ICE's authority to issue a detainer stem from?

A: By issuing a detainer, ICE requests that a law enforcement agency notify ICE before releasing an alien and maintain custody of the subject for a period not to exceed 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, to allow ICE to assume custody. This request flows from federal regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 287.7, which arises from the Secretary's power under the Immigration and Nationality Act § 103(a)(3), 8 U.S.C. 1103(a)(3), to issue “regulations … necessary to carry out [her] authority” under the INA, and from ICE's general authority to detain individuals who are subject to removal or removal proceedings.

Man last seen with Christina Morris arrested
Jobin Panicker, Lauren Zakalik and Jenny Doren, WFAA 6:52 p.m. CST December 13, 2014

PLANO — A missing person mystery now more than three months old has entered a new chapter.

Plano police arrested 24-year-old Enrique Arochi Saturday morning and charged him with aggravated kidnapping in the Christina Morris case. Morris disappeared on August 30.

Arochi's arrest is partly based on DNA samples taken during the investigation.

"The DNA evidence and the details that surround that... if we were able to release that, you would understand it more," said Plano police spokesman David Tilley. "Unfortunately, we're unable to release that."

News 8 has learned that the DNA evidence was in some way connected to Arochi's car, which was towed from his house on Saturday. Investigators remain mum on what was found in that car.

 ::snipping3::

"I'm overwhelmed with excitement," said Morris' mother, Jonni McElroy. She drove from Tulsa to Plano immediately Saturday after getting the news. She said Arochi's arrest confirms what she's felt from the start.

"We had a gut instinct as parents and as her friends that we knew she got in that car," McElroy said. "She did not just vanish, and somehow he had some answers."

"I don't think my insides have stopped shaking since I got the news this morning," added Morris' step-mother Anna at a news briefing late Saturday afternoon. "Sadly, it doesn't change anything. We are still where we were yesterday. We still don't have Christina."

McElroy echoed that heart-wrenching sentiment, and had this message for Arochi, the man now accused of kidnapping her daughter:

"Christina doesn't deserve this. We do not deserve this. We are begging you to do the right thing now. Do the right thing and lead us to Christina," she said.

Plano police haven't given up on that goal.

"People have poured their lives — not only within our department, but friends and families have poured their lives into this case," Tilley said.

Anyone with information in the case is urged to call the Plano Police Department Tip Line at 972-941-2148 or the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 877-373-8477

Missing woman’s boyfriend charged in Dallas drug sting
Family says no indication arrest related to disappearance of Christina Morris
Posted: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 12:06 am

An investigation into drug activity at a northwest Dallas dance club has resulted in the indictment of 15 area residents on conspiracy and drug distribution charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
Twelve of the 15 have been arrested and charged, including Hunter Lee Foster, 23, the boyfriend of Christina Morris, who disappeared from The Shops at Legacy in Plano on Aug. 30. Three are still at large. There is no indication that this arrest is connected to her disappearance, according to the Morris family.
 ::snipping3::
“I can’t really say that I was surprised, because he does have a history [of drug use],” said Anna Morris, Christina’s stepmother. “I had hoped that that was in the past, and it’s unfortunate, but I don’t think it has anything to do with Christina. Honestly I haven’t been able to give it much thought because everything’s been wrapped around finding her.
“If information comes from it, wonderful, but ... I know he’s cooperated fully with the police [regarding Christina’s disappearance], answered all the questions and as far as I know, there really wasn’t a reason to suspect him at this point. They weren’t together that evening. I have my own issues with him, but I don’t know that he knows where my daughter is.”
 ::snipping3::
The indictment alleges that beginning around Aug. 1, Foster conspired with others to possess with the intent to distribute ethylone, a Schedule I drug commonly referred to as “Molly.” According to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s website, Schedule I drugs are considered the most dangerous with a high potential for abuse and potentially severe psychological and physical dependence.
“I’m speechless,” said Jonni McElroy, Christina’s mother. “I don’t think Christina knew his intent. I know she found out that he was involved in drugs and asked him to stop, and that’s why she was going to leave him a couple [months] ago.

(My bold) It doesn't bode well at all for Christina's DNA to have been found in the trunk of Arochi's car.  He was the last known person to have seen her.  He has changed stories, he's lied.  Arochi needs to grow a conscience and tell her family where she is.  I think she's gone from this earth and there's no bringing her back to life.  But he could tell where he's put her and at least let her family bury her.  I wonder if he's waiting to make a deal?  I truly hope Christina's family have the answers they need by Christmas and can bring her home.

Volunteers again look for Morris after suspect's arrest
December 20, 2014

ALLEN – Armed with boots, hiking poles, and determination, dozens of volunteers gathered on a misty Saturday morning for one of the largest, longest searches since Christina Morris went missing.

They spread out from Allen High School to comb fields and wooded areas in Collin County.
"I will continue to fight," said Jonni McElroy, Morris' mother. "I feel you reaching for me, I know you feel my hand reaching for you. We will connect very soon. I can feel it."

McElroy is still holding out hope her 22-year-old daughter will be found safe, one day after investigators revealed they found Morris' DNA in the trunk of Enrique Arochi's car
. He is the last known man to see Morris alive in the parking lot of the Shops at Legacy on Aug. 30, and is charged with her kidnapping.
McElroy has no doubt Arochi knows where her daughter is.
 ::snipping3::
Plano police helped loved ones decide where to search. Morris' family asked News 8 not to reveal exact locations. If they turn up anything, volunteers were asked to only share those details with police.

Missing Woman Left Shops at Legacy in Friend's Trunk: Warrant
Friday, Dec 19, 2014 • Updated at 10:31 PM CST
An arrest warrant released by the Plano Police Department said DNA evidence indicates a missing 23-year-old Plano woman last seen entering a parking garage at The Shops at Legacy left the garage in the trunk of a friend's car.
 ::snipping3::
According to the affidavit, Enrique Gutierrez Arochi has claimed ever since her disappearance Aug. 30 that Christina Morris was never in his vehicle. In an arrest warrant Plano police said that is a lie and that DNA evidence found on Arochi's trunk and forensic evidence recovered from cellular data proves she was in his vehicle.

OK look people christina's boyfriend was a major drug dealer . He was arrested at the a strip club which packed in between 500 - 1000 people every saturday and sunday night. The cover charge to get into the club was $20 x 1000 people between $10,000 and $20,000 a night on door cover alone. The club is run by a convicted drug dealer and a convicted sex offender with multiple felonies who runs five yes five after hours clubs just like it across the state the first one starting in harlingen on the mexican border. The standard practice of their clubs was to confiscate dealers drugs and resale them , or to allow them to deal if they gave them half the earnings. Do the math , Big money ! A bouncer mysteriously died when they ran it out of the fare room in Dallas , two young people overdosed at the club and died .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjXbQkE2En0 . Christina Morris had threatened foster that she would leave him if he didn't quit , Christina Morris had recieved threatening text messages according to one report I have read. One of the promoters started His career on the border of Mexico , and Arochi has ties to the Sinaloa Cartel https://twitter.com/javierarochi , also he is a big fan of the cartels leader Chop Guzman look at his photo's https://www.facebook.com/javier.arochi , worse he is friends with Chop Guzman's son el-chopito who now runs the cartel since his fathers arrest https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007303654577
http://www.savevid.com/video/ivan-archivaldo.html . Ernesto Garcia another Sinoloia supporter posted a threat to Foster on the fox four news site Dec 10, 2014 @ 9:10 PM saying "or maybe the Cartel sent a message to him killed his girl friend". He has a picture of chop guzman lauding the good his drug money does for the community he came from in mexico and Arochi is from san louis potsi sinoloia terratory ! There were phone calls and text made between Arochi's phone and Fosters phone. Arochi said it was because "Christina's phone had died" this is a lie because her phone pinged cell phone towers after that as detailed in the indictment. only one text message photo is discussed at 2:34 a picture of morris's hand holding keys. A strange picture that tells me hunter foster was worried and wanted to know for sure that she was still in possession of them. Arochi says he had 10 shots and took a aderoll which 2 or 3 shots in combo would have caused erectile disfunction. Unless he had a viagra in his pocket no sexual assault took place at all that night to be frank. Also they left the parking garage at 3:55 am seen on video documented. Arochi's vehicle left the garage at 3:58 on video documented in indictment , he didn't sexually assault her in three minutes folks not enough time to beat her into submisson and do that in the garage surrounded by security guards getting off work also noted in indictment. Arochi's phone called Foster's at 3:50 , 3:55 and 3:58 documented. If morris is in Arochi's trunk bleeding then she is not on her phone now is she ?Arochi is ! At 4:08 his car went through the toll road gantry northbound at custer there are shorter routes to his house but he is staying on the highway so no one hears her banging on the trunk because she is still alive as I said there has been no time for a sexual assault. And she didn't just need to use his phone because at 4:56 her phone pinged back around the shops at legacy 23 minutes away from Arochi's house. He lives with his parents and brother so he didn't sexually assault her at home . He may have gone back to make sure no one saw him and no cops were at he shops asking questions and that he left no evidence in the struggle. h didn't how ever take the same route his toll tag would have showed that . There are five unaccounted for hours before his car is spoted at the gas station. If assault was the motive he has to take her some place secluded , my question is what the hell place in the dallas area does he feel safe enough to assault this girl for four hours at ? I can think of none except way north out side all the city or south to a friends house where e was drected to leave her at. Maybe very wealthy friends who want to stop morris from costing them millions by narking them out like these : http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/TX05051855/John-David-De-Leon.html

Arochi's vehicle left the garage at 3:58 on video documented in indictment , he didn't sexually assault her in three minutes folks not enough time to beat her into submisson and do that in the garage surrounded by security guards getting off work also noted in indictment. Arochi's phone called Foster's at 3:50 , 3:55 and 3:58 documented. If morris is in Arochi's trunk bleeding then she is not on her phone now is she ?Arochi is ! At 4:08 his car went through the toll road gantry northbound at custer there are shorter routes to his house but he is staying on the highway so no one hears her banging on the trunk because she is still alive as I said there has been no time for a sexual assault. And she didn't just need to use his phone because at 4:56 her phone pinged back around the shops at legacy 23 minutes away from Arochi's house. He lives with his parents and brother so he didn't sexually assault her at home . He may have gone back to make sure no one saw him and no cops were at he shops asking questions and that he left no evidence in the struggle. h didn't how ever take the same route his toll tag would have showed that . There are five unaccounted for hours before his car is spoted at the gas station. If assault was the motive he has to take her some place secluded , my question is what the hell place in the dallas area does he feel safe enough to assault this girl for four hours at ? I can think of none except way north out side all the city or south to a friends house where e was drected to leave her at. Maybe very wealthy friends who want to stop morris from costing them millions by narking them out like these : http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/TX05051855/John-David-De-Leon.html

Search continues after affidavit reveals Morris was in suspect’s trunk

More than 50 volunteers join search effort

Posted: Monday, December 22, 2014 1:43 pm | Updated: 6:21 pm, Mon Dec 22, 2014.

The search for Christina Morris, missing since Aug. 30, intensified over the weekend after search and arrest warrant affidavits for Enrique Arochi, the man charged with kidnapping her, revealed potential new clues to her whereabouts.

More than 50 friends, family members and supporters gathered Saturday morning at Allen High School to scour areas in Allen and Plano for the missing 23-year-old.

“We’ve come a long way and we’re getting closer. I feel it in my heart,” said Jonni McElroy, Morris’ mother, as she led the volunteers in prayer. “We pray that you also give Enrique the strength, even though he has gone and done a lot of evil things. He says he comes from a Christian background, and we pray that you reunite him back with you and that you give him the strength to tell us the truth and help bring Christina back into our life. We deserve it, we want it and we will not give up. We have an army on our side and we’re simply blessed.”

The affidavits, unsealed Friday, indicate that Morris’ DNA was found in the trunk of Arochi’s 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Plano Police Department detectives believe Morris left the parking garage where she was last seen in Arochi’s trunk.

Toll tag records show Arochi’s car traveled through the Custer Road gantry on State Highway 121 at 4:08 a.m. Aug. 30. However, cell phone records show Morris’ and Arochi’s phones pinged a cell tower at 5800 Granite Parkway at 4:47 a.m. and 4:56 a.m., respectively, indicating Arochi returned to an area just north of The Shops at Legacy.

Arochi’s attorney at the time, Keith Gore, released the following statement:

“My initial reaction to the affidavit for Enrique’s arrest is that it appears based largely upon conjecture and speculation, and leaves many questions unanswered. The arrest affidavit confirms that further investigation is required. We are encouraged that the police continue to investigate. We will continue investigating the allegations against Enrique, and we will also continue cooperating with the police.”

Arochi changed lawyers for the third time on Monday, hiring Richard K. Franklin to represent him.

 ::snipping3::

Organized searches have been scheduled for Saturday mornings, but McElroy and Plano PD continue to conduct their own daily searches.

“We will be conducting searches through the holidays, including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day,” said Officer David Tilley, Plano PD spokesman. “We have made the decision within this department that we are going to conduct daily regular searches, and there’s not going to be any wavering from that. We’re committed to covering as much ground as we can and in a short period of time.”

Tilley said Plano PD is bringing in outside resources to assist in its search but would not disclose those resources.

Affidavit Depicts Accused Christina Morris Kidnapper As “Sexually Frustrated”

December 19, 2014 6:05 PM

PLANO (CBS 11 NEWS) – Recently released arrest documents for Enrique Arochi depict the accused kidnapper as a sexually frustrated young man, with a propensity for lying to police.

Arochi, is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Christina Morris. She is the Fort Worth woman who went missing after a night out with friends at The Shops at Legacy in Plano.

Arochi is currently charged with Aggravated Kidnapping and is being held in a Collin County jail on $1 million bond.

Arochi was the person last seen with Morris in surveillance video. The two were leaving the parking garage at The Shops at Legacy in the early hours of August 30, 2014.

The 24-year-old had gone public and even told CBS 11 on camera that he had nothing to do with Morris’ disappearance, however his arrest affidavit says otherwise.

The document said, in part:

“Arochi left the Shops at Legacy area and returned to his residence …in Allen, TX with Christina Morris in the trunk of his 2010 Chevrolet Camaro contrary to his statements that Morris was never in his vehicle.”

Morris’ mother, Jonni McElroy, spoke publicly following the release of the affidavit. She said she was “torn up” over the details revealed. “When you read that your daughter was in the trunk of this car, it’s unspeakable…it’s unspeakable.”

The affidavit went on to describe Arochi as a sexual frustrated man who targeted Morris after a previous sexual advance on another woman that night was rebuffed. The documents also said he repeatedly lied to police about his involvement in the disappearance.

Perhaps the most conclusive evidence police found was a DNA match between samples taken from Arochi’s car and a DNA profile for Christina Morris.

The affidavit read:

“Due to the amount of Christina Morris DNA found to be present in the interior trunk area of Arochi’s vehicle, affiant believes this DNA was from Christina Morris bodily fluids such as blood or saliva.”

According to detectives, empty bottles of chemical cleaners found in Arochi’s home trash cans and other evidence inside his car leads officials to belief he unsuccessfully tried to wipe away DNA evidence.

McElroy said, “I want answers, and I think he needs to give us those answers.”

Christina Morris' DNA, Phone Records Show She Was in Trunk of Friend's Car, Cops Say

By Stephen Young Fri., Dec. 19 2014 at 1:17 PM

Enrique Arochi was angry, cops say, because one of his friends declined his sexual advances. Not content to end a night that began, he told police, with an Adderall and continued with 10 shots of Captain Morgan's at a friend's apartment and three to five beers at a Shops at Legacy bar, Plano police say Arochi left a parking garage at the Plano shopping center with Christina Morris in the trunk of his car.

A probable cause affidavit first obtained by KTVT says that a swab taken from the bumper of Arochi's 2010 Camaro matched Morris' DNA perfectly. Her cell phone, police say, pinged multiple cell towers as Arochi drove to the house he shared with his mother after leaving the parking garage. He arrived at the house, located in Allen, 40 minutes after police say he kidnapped Morris.
 
Trash from the residence scoured by police revealed cleaning supplies -- they say the Camaro looked like it had just been cleaned the first time they saw it -- and a note written in Spanish referring to a black shirt and text messages from the night of August 29 and the morning of August 30, the last time anyone saw Morris. The car had damage on its right-front fender and Arochi had bruising and scratching on his right arm, police say. Arochi told them that one of the car's wheels had fallen on him while he was "turning his tires around" and he'd punched the fender in anger. A worker at Huffines Collision Center in Plano told police that the damage to the car was inconsistent with the accident Arochi described.

Just over five hours after Morris' cell phone's last recorded ping -- at 4:47 a.m. on August 30 off a tower just north of the Shops at Legacy -- Arochi was captured on video at an Allen Exxon station, using a squeegee to wipe down the outside of his car's trunk.

Arochi sits in the Collin County Jail facing aggravated kidnapping charges. Plano police say there's evidence Christina was inside his runk that early morning in August when she disappeared.

The two were high school acquaintances and had spent time at a friend's apartment at the Shops at Legacy in Plano before surveillance video captured them walking to the parking garage together.

Arochi was the last person to see Morris before she disappeared.

"It's unreal to think your best friend was in someone's trunk. I mean…who does that?" said longtime friend Teighlor Stegman.

Those close to Christina are pleading for Arochi to say something, anything. McElroy thinks he knows where she is.

Of course he knows where she is!  It makes me so mad I feel sick thinking about it.  :gaah: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Many scenarios, as horrible as they may be but that could give hope that she might still be alive, just don't make sense from what I know about this case.  I don't think any premeditated plan to kidnap Christina (for whatever reason) would have included so many other people KNOWING he was with her alone when she went to her car, and her car being left behind, for starters... 

He's not talking now for a reason, the longer it takes the more evidence will deteriorate.  The less evidence of his crimes against her that night...the more bargaining power and better defense he thinks he'll have.

Missing Woman's Mother: 'Enough is Enough'

Airdate: 01/05/2015

Haunting surveillance video is at the center of an agonizing mystery.

The woman in the video is 23-year-old business graduate Christina Morris. She had just left a party in an apartment building near Dallas and was walking to a garage where her car was parked. The time clock said it was exactly 3:57 a.m. It was the last time Christina was seen alive.

Teighlor Stegman is her best friend. Stegman told a reporter, "We found her car a few days later, parked over here. It was untouched, didn't look like anybody had been inside of it."

Christina's father reported her missing. He said, "You run though scenarios in your head. You try to figure out where she's at. We just want to bring her home."

Everyday, Christina's mom writes messages to her missing daughter on Facebook, such as, "Please keep staying strong with me, sweetie. We are getting closer."

So, who was the guy in the video walking with Christina?

Cops identified him as Enrique Arochi, a friend of Christina's from high school. He told police that he and Christina had been at the party together but went their separate ways in the parking garage, and that he knows nothing about her disappearance.

Arochi told WFAA-TV, "I feel like they were wasting their time on me when they could be looking at somebody else that is actually the suspect or the person that actually did it."

But not long after Arochi gave this interview to the station, police arrested him for kidnapping, after allegedly finding Christina's DNA in the trunk of his Chevy Camaro.

He also allegedly had "a bite mark" and "abrasions."

It is now four weeks after Arochi's arrest and there is still no trace of Christina, or her body.

 ::snipping3::

Now, Christina's mother has this message to the suspect: "Enough is enough. You've put me through pain. You've put Christina through pain. You've put your family through pain. Please dig deep down in your heart and give us the answers to lead us to Christina. We need her home."

Billboard put up to generate leads in woman’s disappearance

About 50,000 vehicles to pass sign daily

Posted: Tuesday, January 6, 2015 4:54 pm

After missing-person flyers showcasing Christina Morris’ smiling face caused several residents in kidnapping suspect Enrique Arochi’s Allen neighborhood to complain to the city, supporters of the missing woman decided to look elsewhere to keep her face in the public eye.

Noticing several Plano Outdoor Advertising billboards during her daily commute, Morris family supporter Tanya Garrett contacted the company in mid-December.

Touched by Christina’s story, manager Reed Greer donated an available billboard and worked with Garrett to design an eye-catching message. On Monday, the billboard was erected on the west side of Coit Road just south of Plano Parkway. Greer said traffic counts indicate about 50,000 vehicles travel by that location every day.

“Tanya called me up and said they were trying to get a little more exposure,” Greer said. “They were having some problems with the flyers being put out on posts and were looking for something a little more permanent. I’d been paying attention to the news story and felt anything we could do to help would be great.”

The 8-foot-by-16-foot billboard features bold colors and the Crime Stoppers tipline, with Christina’s photo on the right. Greer and Garrett said they hope it encourages anyone with information to come forward.

“We try to reach as many people as possible daily to keep Christina’s information out there,” Garrett said. “Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that can solve a crime. We need people to be informed that no matter how small you think a piece of information may be, it could be the break in the case that is needed. We can’t afford for this case to become dormant.”

 ::snipping3::

Greer said the billboard will stay up for at least three months, but that they’d ideally leave it up for as long as it’s deemed an effective message.

“I have kids, myself, and the thought that one day you’re walking alone thinking the world is great and in a matter of a phone call that all changes for you – what you thought was a path forward for your family is really now a nightmare,” he said. “If somebody hasn’t realized [this happened] in our area, maybe it will prompt new information to help authorities come to a conclusion and help locate her and bring her home.”

Temporarily sidelined from foot searches due to illness, Christina’s mother, Jonni McElroy, expressed her gratitude and determination to find her daughter.

“It’s important to me as a mother to continue to put the awareness out there that Christina is still missing, and for the world to continue to see our daughter’s beautiful smile and face,” McElroy said.

The description in the show of how Christina and Hunter got together was a little different than how her ex described it.  That was interesting to me especially now knowing that he was at least part of the reason they were arguing that night, and that Christina was communicating with him within minutes of her disappearance.

Star Telegram has a new article out where they mention Christina's Ex boyfriend, Aaron L. Predegrast.

He says that He and Christina moved in together in August 2013 after dating a year but they broke up in October after she started dating Hunter Foster (his best friend).


I'd read that their breakup was nasty, makes sense.

Thanks iluvmua.

Anna Morris, said her stepdaughter would have told her if she was going to take a spontaneous trip.

“She didn’t hide things,” she said. “She would have let us know for this exact reason.”

Anna Morris said she has helped raise her stepdaughter since she was 3.

“She’s unforgettable,” she said. “She’s a tiny little thing, but she has a huge presence. She’s lively. She’s loved.”

Anna Morris lives with her husband in Allen, where Christina went to Allen High School with her ex-boyfriend Aaron Logan Prendergast.

‘Everyone wants her home’

Prendergast and Morris moved in together in August 2013 after dating for a year, Prendergast said. But they broke up in October when Morris started dating his best friend, who is her current boyfriend.

“They started dating while we were still living together,” Prendergast said.


Plano police have said the current boyfriend is not a suspect.

Prendergast said he has communicated with criminal investigators twice since Morris disappeared and believes that she must have left the parking garage with someone else because her Toyota Celica coupe was still there.

Police said the car shows no sign of foul play.

Morris and her boyfriend live in the 4000 block of Lafayette Avenue near Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth.

The couple co-owns an urban clothing line called Trust None Street Wear.

Ariel Hammer, a close friend and former roommate of Morris’, said she had an instantaneous bond with Morris when they met four years ago. She said Morris and her boyfriend were just starting to get the word out about their clothing line.

Hammer said she last saw her friend a month ago.

In looking back on her FB, it looks like Christina had been in a long term relationship before her current boyfriend.

No idea if it's the same Hunter or not.  But wondering if maybe he'd been a roommate of the couple before he and Christina's relationship?

Thinking of possible love triangle or jealousy issues.

The club that Hunter was tied to in his arrest is about a twenty five minute drive from the location Christina disappeared from.

Enrique Arochi in court seeking bond reduction
January 15, 2015

COLLIN COUNTY -- The man charged with kidnapping in the disappearance of Christina Morris is in court Thursday, seeking a reduction in his bond.
 ::snipping3::
Arochi is currently being held at the Collin County Jail with a bond of $1 million. It is unclear how much of a reduction he is seeking.

Twelve witnesses are expected to testify during his probable cause hearing.

Christina Morris kidnapping suspect hoping to get out of jail
January 15, 2015

PLANO, Texas -
A Collin County judge is hearing evidence in the Christina Morris case as the man charged with her kidnapping tries to get out of jail.

Enrique Arochi kept his head down during most of Thursday morning's bond reduction hearing.

He is accused of kidnapping Morris on the night of Aug. 30. He was the last person to see her in a parking garage at the Shops at Legacy.

During the hearing, a Plano Police Department detective testified that Morris' DNA was found on the trunk mat in Arochi's car. There was also a significant amount of DNA evidence on the trunk's interior rubber seal.

Prosecutors said Arochi made one unanswered call and sent two unanswered text messages to Hunter Foster, Morris' boyfriend, on the night of her disappearance.

One of those text messages said, “Could I get some of that good rock.” Detectives believe it was in reference to drugs.

Foster was allegedly at the W Hotel in Dallas that night. He was arrested in December in connection to a drug sting.

Other evidence presented Thursday included a taped police interview of Arochi.

He tells officers he smoked weed and drank 10 shots and several beers on the night Morris went missing. He wasn't sure if she had anything to drink.

He claimed he didn't really remember where he parked that night or walking to his car because he was drunk.

“I maybe said five words to her,” he told detectives. “I just went my way… she was on the phone and walked off.”

When asked about an injury on his arm, Arochi said it happened while he was trying to change a tire. He said he then punched his car in frustration.

The car had front end damage on both the driver and passenger side, but the dents on the passenger side were more severe, according to police testimony.

Before breaking for lunch, an investigator testified that he absolutely believes Arochi kidnapped and killed Morris based on what is known.

Arochi's bail is currently set at $1 million.

Morris is still missing.

New Information Revealed in Christina Morris Disappearance
By Todd L. Davis

Thursday, Jan 15, 2015 • Updated at 12:52 PM CST

Additional details in the case of missing 23-year-old Christina Morris were revealed when a man charged with her kidnapping appeared in court Thursday.

Attorneys for 24-year-old Enrique Arochi planned to file a motion in a Collin County court to reduce his client's $1 million bond based on insufficient evidence.

Arochi is accused of kidnapping Morris, who has been missing since Aug. 30.

Police Search Christina Morris' Friend's Car

New information was revealed, though, when 380th District Court Judge Benjamin Smith ruled that recorded tapes could be played in court.

Police revealed that Morris' DNA was found on Arochi's trunk mat in his car, not just around the trunk. They also revealed that there was more than just trace amounts of DNA in the vehicle.

Witnesses scheduled to appear in court included a DNA expert, Morris' father Mark and Morris' friends who were with her the night she was last seen.

Judge denies bond reduction for Enrique Arochi
WFAA 4:14 p.m. CST January 15, 2015

COLLIN COUNTY -- The man charged with kidnapping in the disappearance of Christina Morris had his request for a bond reduction denied during a probable cause hearing Thursday.

"Justice is finally being served," said Jonni McElroy, Morris' mother. "Hallelujah."

Plano police arrested Enrique Arochi, 24, in December and charged him with aggravated kidnapping related to the disappearance of Morris, 22. She hasn't been seen or heard from since Aug. 30.

Arochi, an Allen High School acquaintance of Morris, was last seen with her on surveillance video as the two walked to their cars at the Shops at Legacy in Plano. They had been hanging out at a mutual friend's apartment.

Police found Morris' DNA inside the trunk of Arochi's car, although he denies any involvement into her disappearance. Police say kidnapping charges were brought against him due to the physical evidence, as well inconsistencies in his accounts to police.

 ::snipping3::

A packed courtroom watched taped interviews of Arochi by Plano detectives from the time of Morris' disappearance.

The videos shows Arochi telling officers that he had 10 shots, five or six beers, and smoked a bowl of weed that night. He wasn't sure if Morris drank any alcohol. Arochi said he was so trashed that night, he doesn't remember walking to the parking lot with Morris.

"Those parking lots look the same to me, especially when you're drunk," he said.

Arochi is also heard laughing on the tape when police asked him about the injuries on his arm, saying he punched his car.

Arochi didn't want to hand his phone over to police during the interview, telling them he had private pictures and confidential work e-mails on it. He also refused to let police search his car when asked the first time because he said he had work meetings from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"I'm a good guy, like I said, I don't get speeding tickets," Arochi is heard telling police.

Morris' family sat inside the courtroom during the hearing. Christina Morris' mother spoke to reporters outside.

"I want answers. I don't want answers tomorrow, I want my daughter home. I've had enough," McElroy said.

Judge denies bond reduction for man charged with kidnapping Christina Morris
Details in case against Arochi revealed at hearing

Posted: Thursday, January 15, 2015 9:23 pm | Updated: 9:49 pm, Thu Jan 15, 2015.

Posted on Jan 15, 2015 by Brittany Feagans

Thursday was a bittersweet day for the loved ones of Christina Morris, as Judge Ben Smith denied a bond reduction for Enrique Arochi after disturbing details emerged that indicate the missing woman is likely dead.

During her testimony, Detective Cathy Stamm said forensics determined that a substantial amount of Christina’s DNA was found on the trunk mat of Arochi’s 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The warrant for Arochi’s Dec. 13 arrest mentioned that Christina’s DNA was also found on the interior rubber seal in the trunk opening.

Rick Staub, Plano PD Crime Scene Investigation manager, testified that criminalists used a forensic tool called Blue Star to test for blood in Arochi’s vehicle. When the substance was sprayed in the trunk, two spots “luminesced faintly,” which Staub said indicated the presence of blood.

“It certainly would be consistent with a bodily injury due to the large quantity of her DNA,” he said.

According to its website, Blue Star is considered “the most effective blood revealer available on the market.” Stamm testified that it appeared a cleaning agent had been used on the mat, which is still undergoing tests at the lab.

Staub said the sample taken from the trunk lining contained a mixture of DNA of Christina and at least one other person. Since authorities did not have a DNA sample from Arochi prior to his arrest, they did not compare it to him at the time.

Lead Detective Robyn Busby described the injuries she witnessed on Arochi’s hands and right forearm during interviews just days after Christina’s disappearance. In a Sept. 3 interview, Arochi told detectives he sustained the injuries while rotating his tires and peeling paint off the rims of his tires. The search warrant affidavit indicated that his story did not match the injuries.

“It’s just lie after lie after lie,” said Jonni McElroy, the missing woman’s mother. “There’s no conscience there. I’ve never seen anybody in my entire life lie just consistently, at ease like it’s nothing. It baffles me. There’s nothing credible about anything that he says.”

Detectives agreed, discussing several inconsistencies in Arochi’s story about what transpired in the early hours of Aug. 30.
When Lisa King, prosecutor for the felony trial division, asked Stamm if she believes Arochi kidnapped and killed Christina, she answered, “Absolutely.”

“I think the hardest part is knowing there’s a lot more DNA than we thought was in the car,” McElroy said after the hearing. “I won’t believe it until I have proof, but [detectives] are so sure [she is not alive], and that’s what’s so hard. I didn’t know it was enough DNA that my daughter could not be alive anymore.”

Several hours into the hearing, Judge Smith interrupted Staub mid-testimony and said there was enough probable cause to charge Arochi with aggravated kidnapping.

“Justice has started to be served – hallelujah,” McElroy said after the hearing. “His family is aware now that this is no joke. [Enrique] committed a crime, and Christina is still out there missing. He needs to just do the right thing and tell us where she is. His family doesn’t deserve this either. I want him to do the right thing and tell us where she is. Let’s all begin to heal.”

About 50 people packed the courtroom in support of Christina; Arochi’s family occupied the front left row. Mark Morris, Christina’s father, shook his head as Arochi, shackled and in a green jumpsuit, was led into the courtroom.

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life, to look at the back of [Enrique’s] head and see his family next to me and know that he has caused the most tremendous pain I’ve ever been through,” McElroy said through tears. “I mean, when is enough, enough? I want him to tell the truth for once and end this misery and pain. God will forgive him, but Enrique has to forgive himself and tell the truth so we can all move on and heal.”

 ::snipping3::

“We feel really good that his bond wasn’t reduced,” said Anna Morris, Christina’s stepmother. “We feel like he’s where he belongs. He needs to remain in jail. We need to find Christina, and he needs to tell us everything before I think any concessions need to be made for him.”

While the hearing was a success in the eyes of the Morris family, they still don’t have an answer to the question they’ve been asking for more than four months: Where is Christina?

“I miss her more than anything in the world,” McElroy said. “We want her home. We do not deserve this. I don’t want answers tomorrow, I don’t want answers the next day – I want answers today. I want my daughter home. I’ve had enough.

“Our daughter is still missing, and he’s still sitting getting three meals a day. He gets to have visitations from his parents, his brother. We don’t have visitations from our daughter. She doesn’t get three nice meals from us. We don’t get to hug her. We don’t get to tell her we love her. We do in our prayers, and we know that she hears us. We still don’t have the answer to where she is, but her voice was definitely heard, and justice is starting to be served.”

From the courtroom: Arochi probable cause hearing notes

Posted: Friday, January 16, 2015 6:59 pm

Posted on Jan 16, 2015by Brittany Feagans

 ::snipping3::

Several witnesses were brought to the stand during the hearing, which lasted about seven hours. Notes from their testimonies are as follows:

Cathy Stamm, Plano PD detective

Arochi signed consent forms to allow detectives to search his vehicle on Sept. 3. Stamm noticed multiple cellphones in car. She asked for consent to look through the phones, which Arochi denied.

Officer Aaron Benzick obtained video surveillance footage from a bank ATM that showed Arochi’s car leaving the parking garage.

One phone call and two texts were sent from Arochi’s phone to Hunter Foster. One text stated, “Could I get some of that good rock.” Stamm said this suggests cocaine and believes Foster could supply this drug.

Foster contacted Arochi days later, asking about Morris. Detectives found no previous contact between Foster and Arochi.

Stamm estimates it’s about a 10-minute walk from Paulina Petrosky’s apartment to the parking garage. It’s believed they walked down Parkwood Boulevard and turned left onto Legacy Drive.

Benzick pulled video from two businesses, nothing unusual about walk to parking garage.

On Sept. 4, Arochi returned with his parents for a third interview.

Video equipment does not record all parts of interior of parking garage.

“Much more than just touch DNA” found on trunk mat inside Arochi’s Camaro. Stamm said this indicates the presence of a bodily fluid.

Both sides of the front of Arochi’s car were dented, the passenger’s side more severely.

Stamm said Arochi had an injury and bruise to his right thumb and scratches, a bruise and slight swelling on his right interior forearm, which she believes came from a scuffle or fight.

Stamm said the entire trunk mat was sent to the lab, where it remains. She said it appears that a cleaning agent had been used on the mat found inside the trunk. “I can tell just by looking at it that there’s some kind of fluid or stain on the mat.” Criminalists did not find Morris’ DNA inside the interior of Arochi’s car, despite several swabs being taken from the passenger side of the vehicle and the interior door.

Stamm said the most probable thing that happened was an altercation in the garage lead to Morris in the trunk. Stamm testified that she does not believe Christina voluntarily got in the trunk.

Recorded interviews between Arochi and Stamm on 9/3 and 9/4

Arochi tells Stamm he went to Petrosky’s between 10-11 p.m. and parked by her apartment, then drove by himself to the bars, parking in the Blue Martini parking garage. He said the group of nine went to Henry’s Tavern, then headed to Scruffy Duffies between 12:30-1 a.m.

Arochi tells Stamm they left Scruffy Duffies just before 2 a.m. and headed back to Petrosky’s to retrieve her car and go to Whataburger with Sabrina Boss and Petrosky. First, Arochi said Morris and Steven Nickerson were waiting for them back at Petrosky’s, but then he said they arrived after they started eating their fast food at the apartment.

Arochi initially tells Stamm he and Morris parted ways when they reached the end of the apartment complexes near Legacy Drive.

He said they did not cross Legacy together.

Arochi said Morris asked for an Adderall, which Petrosky gave her before going to the bars.

Arochi denied smoking weed or hitting on Morris, saying he had a girlfriend of five years.

Arochi said he knew Foster because he saw him several months ago at the hospital where their mutual friend, Jordan Brown, died.

When Stamm asked Arochi what he was doing while they walked to their cars, he told her he was talking to his girlfriend and that he told his girlfriend he was at his house, as he always did when he went out. He said his girlfriend can’t go out due to her strict religion, so he lied when he went out.

Arochi said when he returned home he found his brother, Carlos, passed out on the couch so he woke him up and told him to go to bed. His parents were out of town.

Arochi said he was texting his girlfriend while walking to the garage, but when Stamm asked to see the texts he could not produce them. His explanation was that after a certain amount of texts his phone deletes them. He said he “didn’t even have texts from Aug. 25” – the day he’s accused of stealing the phone he was using from the Sprint store he worked at. Arochi said his girlfriend was sleeping, but he continued to text her and give her updates.

Arochi said he was wearing jeans and a black button up shirt. He said Morris was wearing the same clothes she had on at the bar, contradicting Petrosky’s report that she had changed clothes.

Arochi said he walked back to Petrosky’s after Scruffy Duffies, then said he didn’t think he walked there. He said he drank more than he admitted but didn’t want to get in trouble.

Arochi said he left Petrosky’s by 2:30 a.m. and returned to his Allen home by 3 a.m.

Arochi said “we talked five words that night, if that,” of his conversation with Morris.

Arochi said Morris seemed tipsy, but was OK to drive.

Arochi said he was rotating his tires and peeling black paint off his rims when he injured his thumb and received scratches. A professional photographer is seen taking photos of Arochi’s injuries after he gives consent.

Arochi said he would show detectives texts and calls, but that he did not want them to “image” his phone due to confidential work emails and private photos.

Arochi said he’s a good guy, doesn’t even get speeding tickets, but has gone to jail in the past for theft. He said he’s in the U.S. on a work permit that’s reviewed every two years.

On Sept. 4, Stamm said she saw paraphernalia in the car that looked like Arochi smoked weed. He admitted this, and admitted to smoking a bowl before going to Petrosky’s on Aug. 29.

When presented with a photo showing his car leaving the Henry’s Tavern parking garage, Arochi said he thinks all the parking garages look the same, especially when he’s drunk. He said “It was just a blurry night. … I’m really distracted all the time. … I really don’t remember at all. When I mix drinks I black out all the time.”

Arochi said he takes Adderall whenever he feels like he needs it. Stamm said she believes everyone in that group of friends abuses Adderall, and that mixing the drug with alcohol can be deadly.

No text messages from Aug. 28-31 were found on Arochi’s phone. He said he “doesn’t text a lot of people,” after initially telling Stamm he texted his girlfriend all the time. Prosecutor Lisa King said, “Magically during that time period all those texts were gone.”

When Stamm asked if detectives could process his car on Sept. 4, he said “not tonight” because he had a work meeting from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the next day. Stamm convinced him to return home and get his car, and it was processed that night and returned.

Robyn Busby, Plano PD lead detective

Cell tower locations indicate Foster was in Dallas the night of the incident. These records do not show him coming into the Plano area.

Arochi’s girlfriend, Rand, was interviewed around Sept. 10. She said prior to that she did not know Arochi had been out on Aug. 29 at the Shops at Legacy. She initially declined the detectives’ request to do an extraction of her phone records, but did allow them to view some messages. She recently allowed detectives to perform an extraction.

Phone records indicate contact between Arochi and his girlfriend between 9-10 p.m. in which he told her he had a headache and was going to bed. There was no communication found between the two of them later that night or early in the morning Aug. 30.

Arochi clocked in at 10:51 a.m. on Aug. 30. He was scheduled to work at 8 a.m. Video from the Sprint store had already been written over by the time detectives asked for it. This was standard for the surveillance video.

The last record of Morris’ phone being used was at 3:45 a.m. on Aug. 30. There had been several calls and texts earlier in the evening/morning to Foster, Petrosky, Nickerson and Logan Prendergast, her ex-boyfriend.

Morris was supposed to contact Nickerson when she safely made it to her car. When Nickerson tried to follow up with her several minutes after their 3:43 a.m. phone conversation, he noticed the messages were no longer blue, indicating either her phone was off or she was no longer on iChat.

Busby said there were a few items in Arochi’s car when it was first looked at, but no clutter. The floorboard area of the front passenger’s side had obvious vacuum patterns. At first glance, nothing unusual was noted about the trunk.

Computers were taken from the Arochi home during the search warrant execution on Dec. 13.

Arochi’s cellphone, wiped of data, was determined to be the phone used at the time of the offense and the same phone that was stolen from Sprint.

Rick Staub, Plano PD Crime Scene Investigation manager

24 years of experience as a lab director with a PhD in genetics.

DNA was sent to Virginia-based Bode Technology Group and the University of North Texas.

Morris’ DNA profile was developed at UNT using a soda can from her vehicle and samples from her biological parents.

Criminalists used Blue Star to locate two spots indicating the presence of blood in the trunk. The samples contained a mixture of Morris’ DNA and at least one other person. They did not have Arochi’s DNA at the time to compare.

Frederick Sims, immigration enforcement agent

Arochi’s family brought him to the U.S. as a child. He has a work visa and is permitted to remain here in the U.S.

Immigration detainers are placed on individuals that are believed to be in the U.S. illegally or who have violated their status.

If Arochi posts bond, he would be taken into custody on the immigration detainer, but since he doesn’t have a criminal conviction as this time, he would likely be released the same day.

Curtis Howard, Plano PD legal advisor

Investigation is ongoing.

Morris' mom: 'If she's not with us, let me bury her'
Jobin Panicker, WFAA 11:25 p.m. CST January 30, 2015

Christina Morris' stepmom returned to North Texas as the search for Christina hit five months.

Jonni McElroy never thought she would have to wait this long for answers.

Friday marked five months since her daughter, Christina Morris, went missing.

 ::snipping3::

On Friday night, 75 family and friends congregated outside the Collin County Jail where Christina's accused kidnapper, Enrique Arochi, sits.

The family hopes their light and their message reaches behind the barbed wire and inside the jail walls.

McElroy believes Arochi is not telling the complete story.

"I need her back or answers, whatever the outcome is… We need peace," she said.

The return to Texas means more time to search and more time to plan. McElroy says that after Christina, everything else is second.

"If she's not with us anymore let me bury her. She deserves that…plain and simple," the mom said.

"...crossed the line..."  Enrique crossed the line.  Where is Christina?

'Team Christina' won't relent in pursuit of answers
February 9, 2015

In their exhaustive search for truth, you could easily describe Team Christina as "daring."

"It won't stop until we see justice or get answers," said Jonni McElroy, the mother of Christina Morris, the Fort Worth woman who has been missing since August 30.

Nearly a dozen family and friends stood outside Enrique Arochi's home on Monday evening. Arochi is accused of kidnapping Morris. It's been more than five months now, and no trace of her has been found.

"We're not doing anything illegal. We're not on their property," said Christina's frustrated father, Mark Morris. "All we're urging them is to speak to Enrique."

It was a quiet protest. Team Christina is hoping their signs showing Christina's face make a bigger statement.

But attorney Keith Gore, who represents Enrique Arochi, says while the protest is legal, it still crosses the line. 

"Their stated objective is, 'Let's make the Arochis talk.' Well, the Arochis don't know anything," Gore said. 

Gore told News 8 that Arochi's family feels tormented. He says his client, Enrique Arochi, is bothered by what his family faces.

"They've already sentenced him and they want to execute him," Gore said. "What we want is due process and a chance to be heard."

Christina Morris' family says their efforts will not stop. Hers is a family desperate for answers, and desperate in their actions.

"I understand it's unpleasant for them, and — trust me — it's really unpleasant for us, too," said Christina's stepmother Anna Morris. "It's the last thing we want to be doing."

All Keith Gore cares about is giving Enrique Arochi a fair trial. He says the constant barrage makes that harder and harder.

"It's almost guaranteeing this case will not be tried in Collin County," the attorney said.

A grand jury decision in Arochi's case should be coming soon.

Suspect In Christina Morris Case Charged With Sex Assault Of A Child
March 2, 2015 5:40 PM

J.D. Miles

PLANO (CBSDFW.COM) - Enrique Arochi, the primary suspect in the disappearance of a Fort Worth woman, is facing new charges. 

Arochi has been charged with sexual assault of a child.

Arochi is already charged with aggravated kidnapping charges following Morris’ disappearance.   ::snipping3::

While he remains jailed on charges related to the disappearance of Christina Morris, police have charged Arochi with sexual assault of a child, which is a second degree felony.  Allen police investigated the case.  The charge comes with a $100,000 bond.  His bond remains at $1,000,000 for the aggravated kidnapping charge, despite an attempt by his lawyers to have his bond reduced in January.

Morris has still not been located.

Regarding felony sexual assault of a child in Texas: The victim must have been between 14 and 16 years old.  Physical violence must have been used or threatened or the victim in some way unable to resist or mentally deficient so as unable to appreciate the nature of the act.

Arochi is 24 years old at this time.  We do not know what age he was at the time of the assault.  There is no statute of limitations in Texas for sex assault so we are unable to pin down when the sex assault occurred however it is widely known that offenders escalate in predatory behavior.

The dents in the car, the injuries to Arochi, and his weary demeanor the following morning after Christina disappeared make me believe this little gal put up the fight of her life and hurt this P.O.S. and his car before he killed her.  She made sure there was evidence so he would be tried and convicted.

Good job, Christina!  May you fly with the angels, pretty lady.

Arochi sexual assault charge involves underage girlfriend
WFAA 1:56 p.m. CST March 3, 2015

ALLEN -- Enrique Arochi, who was arrested in December in connection with the disappearance of Christina Morris, is now facing another very serious charge involving an underage ex-girlfriend.

Allen police say Arochi is accused of child sexual assault. An arrest warrant states the alleged victim is a 16-year-old who Arochi dated between October 2012 and February 2013. He was 22 at the time.

The warrant says the couple met while working together and dated for about six months. The victim says Arochi originally told her he was 19 years old and told his parents she was 17. She told police that during that six months, she spent the night at Arochi's parents house on several occasions and had sex with him at least 15 times.

Grand jury indicts Arochi in Christina Morris case
March 10, 2015

A Collin County grand jury has indicted Enrique Arochi on an aggravated kidnapping charge in connection with the August 30 disappearance of Christina Morris.

The grand jury also indicted Arochi on a separate charge of the sexual assault of a child involving an underage girlfriend, a second-degree felony.

Plano police identified Arochi as the last person known to have been with Morris as she was seen on a surveillance video in the garage of the Shops at Legacy last August. Her whereabouts remain a mystery.

Before he was arrested, Arochi maintained his innocence in a November 2014 interview with WFAA.

Arochi was arrested on December 13 and is being held at the Collin County jail on bond totalling $1.11 million. He will be 25 years old on Thursday.

 ::snipping3::

Thursday marks eight months since the 23-year-old vanished. It'll be another seven months before Arochi learns his fate. His aggravated kidnapping trial begins Nov. 30 and is expected to last two weeks.

There was a lot of debate about whether Arochi can get a fair trial in McKinney. The defense team originally asked for a gag order so the media hype dies down, but prosecutors quickly fired back -- saying that would stifle the investigation.

The judge gave a stern warning: What is said about this case may move it to another city and that's something he doesn't want happening.

Morris' mother says all she wants is to see justice served and to do what's right.

"My main purpose is just to make sure, of course, he does get a fair trial, and Christina gets a fair trial. I want to, as her mother, be that good representation for her and do the right thing, and if that means keeping the mouth zipped for right now then so be it. I don't have a problem with it," Jonni McElroy said.

McElroy sat just a few feet away from Arochi in court. He was shackled, sometimes rocking in his chair, but showed no emotion as the defense laid out new evidence being tested that may be relevant in this case.

Some hairs were discovered inside a shop vacuum. They've been sorted but not tested.

Meanwhile, to honor Christina, friends and family will be releasing purple balloons at 7 p.m. Thursday at Allen's Celebration Park.

One year on: Search continues for Christina Morris
August 30, 2015

 ::snipping3::
Christina Morris, 23, was last observed in a haunting surveillance video, walking up a ramp in the garage of a Plano shopping center in the predawn hours of August 30, 2014. She was accompanied by a man later identified as Enrique Arochi, a high school acquaintance.

There has been no trace of Morris in the 12 months that followed, despite police investigations and an exhaustive effort by friends and family members to find her.
 ::snipping3::
More than a month after Christina Morris disappeared, Plano police named Arochi as a suspect for interfering with their investigation. He was arrested on December 13 and charged with aggravated kidnapping. His arrest was partly based on DNA samples taken during the investigation. A search warrant affidavit said there was evidence that Morris had been forced inside the trunk of Arochi's car.
He has maintained his innocence.

"I feel they are wasting their time on me when they can be looking at somebody else that is actually the suspect, or the person that actually did it," Arochi told WFAA in an interview before he was arrested.

"We have believed — almost from the onset — that at the very least, [Arochi]  knows something... he has to," Anna Morris said. "We've begged and pleaded with him, his family —  anyone we can talk to — to just let us know where she is. We don't really care about the rest... we just want her to come home."

Arochi's trial has been set for November 30.

Police arrested Arochi on kidnapping charges after they say Morris’ DNA was found in the trunk of his car.

During a pre-trial hearing Friday morning, prosecutors said they found new fibers in an HVAC.

The trial was scheduled to begin in November, but now may be delayed a bit because of the new evidence.

Testing new DNA evidence could delay Arochi trial
Carla Wade, WFAA 1:15 p.m. CDT September 18, 2015

COLLIN COUNTY -- Newly discovered evidence could delay the trial for the man accused in the disappearance of Christina Morris, her mother said Friday.

"Most likely 100 percent the trial won't be happening in November," said Jonni McElroy after a pre-trial hearing at the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney.

 ::snipping3::

McElroy was in the courtroom along with other family members when prosecutors announced more evidence had been found this week. Prosecutors said more hairs had turned up in the contents of a shop vacuum. Those hairs will be sent to a lab at the University of North Texas in Denton next week, but DNA testing on the hair could take up to 12 weeks making it likely that Arochi's trial will not start on Nov. 30 as scheduled.

"We want this over as soon as possible," said McElroy. "But then we also want to make sure that justice is served up 100 percent."

The Disappearance of Christina Morris: A Mother’s Obsession with Finding Her Daughter Is Destroying Her Marriage

Jonni’s 23-year-old daughter, Christina Morris, disappeared almost two years ago, after a night out with friends. She was last seen on surveillance video walking into a parking garage with an acquaintance, Enrique Arochi. Just three minutes later, Enrique was seen on that same camera leaving the parking garage alone in his car. Christina has not been seen or heard from since. Although Enrique has denied any involvement in Christina’s disappearance, he was arrested three-and-a-half months later and charged with aggravated kidnapping, after authorities say Christina’s DNA was found in the trunk of his car. Jonni says she has become obsessed with finding her daughter, and it’s destroying her marriage. Jonni says she left her husband, Ronnie, behind and moved from Oklahoma to Texas for eight months to search for her daughter. She says her husband realized her only focus is on finding her daughter, not him or her stepchildren. Jonni says she searched every day for 10-12 hours for her daughter and wanted her husband there with her -- but Ronnie says he works 40-60 hours a week and can’t spend all his time trekking through the woods looking for Christina. But Jonni says she will not stop searching until Christina is found. Can Dr. Phil help this couple get their marriage back on track? And, what happened to Christina? Jonni says she has even gotten on her hands and knees and begged Enrique’s father to talk to his son and have him tell her where her daughter is. Plus, an update on the disappearance of Dylan Redwine, who vanished without a trace almost three years ago. The La Plata County Sheriff’s office named a person of interest in August 2015. Find out who that is. His mother, Elaine, gives us an update on the case.

Prosecutor's Agenda in Arochi Trial: Surveillance Video, DNA, Cell Phone Records


By Alice Barr

Published Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016

Day one of the Enrique Arochi trial kicked off with opening statements and the prosecution’s first two witnesses.
Arochi is the man accused of kidnapping Christina Morris. She vanished in 2014 from a Plano parking garage.

 ::snipping3::

Prosecutors want the jury to rely on three key areas of evidence against Arochi, who went to high school with Morris.

First: Surveillance video showing Morris for the last time, walking with Arochi into a parking garage; plus more video showing him washing the trunk of his car the next day.

Secondly: Morris’ DNA that investigators found in the trunk of Arochi's car.

Third: Cell phone pings showing the pair was together for some time after leaving a party with a group of friends.

Prosecutors argue Arochi kidnapped Morris and planned to sexually assault her, after another friend turned him down.
The defense, meanwhile, is shifting focus to another man, Morris’ boyfriend at the time, who is now in prison serving a drug sentence.

Morris’ co-workers testified she and her boyfriend had been fighting a lot and the defense showed several angry text messages they exchanged the night she disappeared.

As for the DNA, the defense said the same crime scene technician analyzed Morris’ car shortly before Arochi's and that she could have accidentally transferred the DNA from one car to the other.

There will be at least 23 witnesses called, including Morris’ old boyfriend the defense is focused on, her parents and several friends.

Boyfriend Pleads the Fifth, Christina Morris' Father Testifies in Day 2 of Enrique Arochi Trial

By Alice Barr

Published Friday, Sept. 9, 2016

Day two of the Enrique Arochi trial began with Christina Morris’ father on the stand, testifying against the man charged with kidnapping her.
Arochi was the last person seen with Morris before she disappeared on Labor Day weekend two years ago.

Morris’ father, Mark Morris, listened on the stand while prosecutors played the nine-minute 911 call when he first reported his daughter missing.
Two years later, he said he still goes out and searches for her every weekend.

Mark Morris described those first few days when he found out his daughter was missing and when he learned Arochi was the last person seen with her. Arochi and Morris were shown in surveillance video walking into a parking garage at the Shops at Legacy in Plano.
The Plano police officer who found Morris’ car still parked in the garage several days after she went missing also testified. Arochi’s car had been parked very close by Morris’ when they went out together with friends that weekend. The officer said there was nothing suspicious in the garage or nearby trash cans.

A Plano police lieutenant testified that he does believe Morris was abducted from the parking garage. But a crime scene technician who photographed the parking garage and searched it for evidence testified that she found no signs of blood or any other fluids at the scene.
Morris’ DNA was later found in the trunk of Arochi's car. Mark Morris and three close friends all testified about that Thursday, saying Christina was afraid of the dark and claustrophobic. Her father said she would never willingly get in a trunk because it would terrorize her "beyond belief."

The defense, meanwhile, keeps steering each witness back to another man, Christina Morris’ boyfriend Hunter Foster.

Her father testified that he knew Foster was into drugs, the jury heard that a friend described him as a "thug" and that her friends were concerned about their relationship.

Police also said they Foster didn't report Morris missing for several days and that they couldn't reach him on the phone after the disappearance.
Foster was expected to take the stand Thursday. But instead he exercised his Fifth Amendment right not to testify.

His lawyers argued he couldn't testify without incriminating himself for drug dealing that night. On Wednesday, the defense showed the jury what they said were text messages of Christina Morris asking Foster for drugs that night. He is already in prison serving time for separate drug charges.

 ::snipping3::

Prosecutors say Arochi kidnapped Morris with plans to sexually assault her, after another friend turned him down.
That friend testified Thursday, saying that Arochi was mad when she wouldn't lie down on the couch with him at a party with friends. He left with Morris shortly after that.

The friend also said she asked Arochi what happened later and that he didn't remember because he was drunk.
Two friends also testified that they saw no injuries on his hands and arms that night, though the defense challenged whether they could be sure of that.

Arochi did have cuts the next day – the first day Morris was missing. He said he'd gotten in a fight.
The trial resumes again Friday morning at 8:30 a.m.

Surveillance Video Played, Friends Testify About Night Christina Morris Went Missing

By Alice Barr

The third day of the trial of Enrique Arochi, accused of kidnapping a Plano woman, began Friday morning.

Christina Morris was last seen leaving the Shops of Legacy in Plano August of 2014. Surveillance video captured her and Arochi walking into a parking garage.

Prosecutors on Friday continued calling all the friends who were with Morris and Arochi the night Morris went missing, including Morris' close friend Steven Nickerson, who was the last person to talk her on the phone before she disappeared.

Nickerson testified that Morris was upset when she received a text message from her boyfriend, Hunter Foster, with whom she had been fighting. Nickerson said he tried to convince Morris not to leave, but she refused.

Arochi decided to leave too and walked out with Morris. Nickerson testified, as others have, that Morris would never walk alone after dark.
Nickerson said he called Morris to ensure she made it to her car. She didn't answer, but called right back to say she was almost to her car and would call again when she got in. Nickerson said she never called back and every time he called her after that, her phone went straight to her voicemail.

Nickerson testified that he didn't hear any fear in Morris' voice when they spoke on the phone while she was walking with Arochi. The defense prompted him, saying he would have "flown on the wings of eagles to that parking garage" if he heard anything wrong in Morris' voice. Nickerson agreed.
Nickerson and other friends testified that they didn't notice anything unusual about Arochi's behavior the night Morris went missing. They also all said they don't remember seeing cuts on Arochi's hands, which were there the next day, or damage to his car, which also appeared the next day.

The jury heard more testimony about that damage to Arochi's car in the afternoon. Prosecutors played surveillance video that shows a dark Camaro leaving the Shops at Legacy Parking Garage.

An IT specialist with the Plano Police department testified there's an "anomaly" visible on the car that could be consistent with damage that was later discovered on Arochi's car. But he said the video quality was too poor to be sure.

It's also not clear if Morris is in that car as it pulls out of the garage.

 ::snipping3::

Finally, Morris' ex-boyfriend Logan Prendergast testified about his breakup with Morris. He said it was difficult, partly because Morris very quickly started dating Hunter Foster, who had been Prendergast's best friend.

Prendergast said that he never saw Foster on the night in question. Several witnesses have testified that Foster texted Morris to tell her he was with Prendergrast, which upset her.

Boyfriend of missing woman pleads the fifth, declines to testify

McKINNEY, Texas - A key witness in the Christina Morris kidnapping case pleaded the fifth on Thursday and declined to testify.

 ::snipping3::

Although Morris’ boyfriend, Hunter Foster, was not out with her and her friends the night she went missing, he has figured prominently in the trial.

Both sides had hoped to question Foster on his whereabouts that night. The defense was particularly interested in asking about texts Morris had supposedly sent him about threatening messages she'd received. However, Foster pleaded the fifth.

Morris's friend, Taylor Barry, was also supposed to testify but pleaded the fifth as well.

A Plano police officer gave testimony about how he was the one who received the missing persons call regarding Morris and then found her car in a parking garage. But he said there was nothing suspicious about the car.

More key testimony came from one of Morris's close friends who lived in the apartment at the Shops at Legacy where they were all hanging out the night she disappeared. She testified Morris had not been drinking heavily to her knowledge and said Arochi did not exhibit any aggressive behavior toward anyone that night. So there was no reason to tell Morris not to walk with him to her car.

During opening statements, prosecutors showed surveillance video of Arochi and Morris walking together in that garage. They said Arochi was two hours late for work the next morning and was seen at a gas station cleaning out his trunk.

But the defense pointed out that the DNA evidence found in the trunk was not from blood evidence. Also, no evidence of blood, saliva or semen was ever found in the parking garage where Morris disappeared, according to police testimony.

Arochi’s lawyers are trying to raise doubt by floating other possible theories, including one that involves a suspicious green car in the garage, and showing the jury text messages between Morris and her boyfriend about drugs.

Several of Morris’ other friends took the stand. They all said she was afraid of the dark and didn’t like to be alone. One childhood friend described her as being “headstrong” and said she would not do something against her will and would never willingly climb into a trunk.

There’s been no sign of Morris since her disappearance.

If convicted, Arochi could be sentenced to up to life in prison.

Jurors find Enrique Arochi guilty in Christina Morris kidnapping after 17 hours of deliberations

Staff Writer

Enrique Arochi was convicted Wednesday of the aggravated kidnapping two years ago of Christina Morris.

The jury of six men and six women reached a decision after 17 hours of deliberations over two days that included one juror falling ill and being replaced by an alternate, and a night sequestered in a hotel. Their decision was announced just before 7 p.m.

The sentencing phase of the trial will start at 8:30 a.m. Monday. Prosecutors said they have a full day of testimony to present. The defense may also call a few witnesses. Jurors will decide the punishment. Arochi, 26, faces up to life in prison. He is also eligible for parole.

District Judge Mark Rusch announced to the courtroom spectators before the verdict was read that they were to show no visible reaction. "This verdict will be respected," he said.

Arochi stared straight ahead as the verdict was announced, then glanced over at the jury when Rusch asked them to raise their hands if this was indeed their verdict.

After the judge recessed court, sobs broke out among members of the Morris family as they embraced in the rear of the courtroom. Several others, including veteran Plano detectives and members of Team Christina, also had tears in their eyes as they left the room.

 ::snipping3::

Evidence in the case showed a surveillance video capturing Morris and Arochi walking into a parking garage together at Plano's Shops at Legacy at 3:55 a.m. Aug. 30, 2014. Three minutes later, Arochi's Camaro pulled out of the garage. Morris' Celica was found untouched in the garage three days later by Plano police after she was reported missing.

Morris, 23, hasn't been seen since.

Defense attorney Keith Gore said during closing arguments Tuesday that prosecutors hadn't proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

 "There's no evidence of what, when, where or how," Gore said, citing the largely circumstantial case.

But prosecutors told jurors Tuesday that the defense has tried to trick them with carefully worded statements. They pointed to cell tower data that put Arochi's phone and Morris' phone together near the Shops at Legacy an hour after the Camaro pulled out of the parking garage.

Robert Aguera, a cellphone forensic expert, testified for the defense that those pings from data use aren't reliable in determining cellphone location because records include data routing locations for the network. But Plano police Detective Aaron Benzick said that data use with multiple entries per session always ends with a connection with the cellphone, and that final entry logs the cell tower closest to the device's location.

"Those cellphone pings hurt the defendant so much that they tried to pay someone to distract you," prosecutor Zeke Fortenberry said.

Key to the state's case was Morris' DNA found on the mat in the Camaro's trunk and on the weatherstripping along the bottom edge of the trunk's opening.

Scientists from two different labs testified that the amount of DNA from Morris was too large to have come from the transfer of skin cells that happens, for example, when one person touches another person or comes in contact with an object someone else used. The DNA came from bodily fluids —either blood or saliva, Fortenberry said.


The defense's strategy of suggesting DNA contamination 45 different ways through witness questioning doesn't make it true, Fortenberry said.

He also pointed to a Post-It note recovered from the Arochi family's household trash that the prosecutor suggested was the defendant's "list of things you need to get rid of." Written in Spanish, the square of yellow paper listed black shirt (Arochi wore one the night Morris disappeared), texts from 8/29 through today, bank bills and cell bills.

"The only reasonable explanation for all the facts — the defendant is responsible for the disappearance of Christina Morris," Fortenberry said Tuesday.

Christina Morris Kidnapper Sentenced To Life In Prison
UPDATED | September 30, 2016 1:03 PM
September 30, 2016 10:20 AM

COLLIN COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) – The man who kidnapped Christina Morris more than two years ago learned his fate today. Earlier this week Enrique Arochi waived his right to a jury sentencing and this morning Judge Mark Rusch handed down a punishment of life in prison.

Prosecutors started the sentencing hearing by asking Judge Rusch to sentence Arochi to life… and they got their wish.

There was a packed courtroom, consisting of several members of Morris’s family but no one publically there for Arochi, when the sentence was handed down.

During victim impact statements in the courtroom prior to sentencing, Morris’s mother, Jonni McElroy, said even though Arochi is headed to prison she is not done with the case. “I will be at every parole hearing. I will fight; again ‘til I take my last dying breath, to make sure that you do not see the light of day. You don’t deserve it. She did not deserve what happended to her.”

McElroy said she lost her job during the exhaustive search for her daughter. It was during that time she said, “If Christina could get away she would. Christina would find her way to me. That’s when I started losing hope.”

Also during victim impact statements, stepmother of Christina Morris, Anna Morris made an impassioned plea to Arochi. “Please I beg you, let me bring my daughter home. Let us bring Christina home,” she said through tears. “If there is anything left in you — in your soul — that has any care or compassion for anything or anyone, you will tell me where she is,” she continued.

“And if you choose not to, I don’t think there will ever be forgiveness for you in this life or the next one. Because that’s an evil that — just — you can’t fix. If you can live your life and not tell us where she is, you continue to torture everyone in this room. Are you that evil? Is there any man left in you?” Morris said before leaving the stand.

Before the sentence was handed down prosecutors also presented details from another case involving Arochi being accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old. Three detectives testified to establish that Arochi had a pattern of sexually deviant behavior and an interest in torture.

McKINNEY, Texas - A judge handed down a life sentence for Christina Morris’ kidnapper Friday morning.

 ::snipping3::

Arochi chose to be sentenced by the judge and not the jury that convicted him.

Before making a decision, the judge allowed prosecutors to bring up evidence from another case against Arochi. He’s accused of choking and hitting a 16-year-old girl while engaging in sexually deviant behavior with her.

Morris’ biological mother also testified about how her daughter was her miracle and that she beat cancer two years after her birth. Jonni McElroy broke down while talking about how she misses going skateboarding and shopping with her daughter, as well as hugging and kissing her.

Morris’ father also talked about how Arochi was the only one of his daughter’s friends who didn’t show up to search for her the day after she disappeared. He said he knew she was gone when police found DNA in the trunk of Arochi’s car.

“You need to do the right thing and tell me where my daughter is at,” Mark Morris told Arochi during the victim impact statements. “ I hope you rot in hell!”

ANNA, Texas - Police are investigating the discovery of a body in an area where new homes are being built in Anna.

FOX 4 talked to construction workers who said they found the human remains in an area near Black Willow Trail and Taylor Boulevard.

They had gone down a remote dirt road to clear some brush. They uncovered what appeared to be the skeleton of a woman under some leaves.

The workers said they believe the body belonged to a woman because she seemed to be wearing a dress and had female undergarments.

Investigators with the Collin County Sheriff’s Office, Anna Police Department and Plano Police Department are now at the scene collecting evidence.

Lt. Nick Bristow with the sheriff's office said the body was transferred to the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office for a positive identification. He would not answer any questions or speculate about the identity of the remains.

Lt. Bristow admitted Plano police were called in because that department has been working a very high-profile case involving a missing woman.

The remains were found in an area where authorities have searched extensively for Christina Morris. Morris disappeared on August 30, 2014. She was last seen with a one-time acquaintance, Enrique Arochi, leaving the Shops at Legacy in Plano.

Arochi is now serving a life sentence for her kidnapping. Prosecutors said her DNA was in the trunk of his car, but he has denied any wrongdoing.

3. When Arochi's car was processed Oct. 6, 2014, more than a month after Morris went missing, crime scene techs found scrapes on the Camaro's undercarriage and several grasses lodged in the metal. That suggested the Camaro had driven off road at some point.

Research botanist Barry Lipscomb identified the vegetation as bermuda grass, crab grass and hairy seed paspalum. The paspalum is the least common of the three and is typically found in wetter areas, near sandy ditches, ponds or shaded, wooded areas.

Sasso said he used the grasses to help develop search criteria. He spent 10 months on special assignment looking for Morris. He also used cellphone records, cell tower records, toll records, financial records and gas purchases to try to track Arochi's movements. Some time was spent looking in and around the Collin County town of Anna, after Arochi's cellphone connected with a cell tower there on Aug. 31, 2014, the day after Morris was last seen.

Evidence search continues in Anna field where remains found that could belong to Christina Morris
5 HRS AGO

Valerie Wigglesworth, Staff Writer

 ::snipping3::

Authorities said it was too soon to know whether the remains might be those of Morris, who was kidnapped after last being seen entering a parking garage at Plano's Shops at Legacy on Aug. 30, 2014.

But the location of the remains, in a wooded area south of Taylor Boulevard, is less than a mile from a cell tower that connected with Enrique Arochi's phone the day after Morris went missing.  

The area where the remains were found is part of a 55-acre lot where a housing development is planned. A crew clearing trees came across the remains just before 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Anna police Sgt. Chad Butler said he and responding officers saw what were believed to be human remains on the east side of a creek 50 to 60 yards south of Taylor Boulevard near Mesquite Lane.

 ::snipping3::

Zeke Fortenberry, the lead prosecutor in Arochi's kidnapping trial, now works in private practice. He said searchers logged thousands of hours looking for Morris.

"How did we miss her?" he asked. "We searched and searched and searched."

Authorities involved in the Morris case have been alerted several times in recent years when bones or human remains have been found in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Fortenberry said this time seems more promising because of the location in Anna and the evidentiary link to Arochi. In addition to the cellphone ping, Morris' DNA was found in the trunk of Arochi's  Camaro.

If the remains do belong to Morris, Fortenberry said, "it confirms what I believed all along — he killed her."

On Wednesday afternoon, Christina Morris' father, Mark Morris, showed up at the scene in Anna surrounded by friends who have joined him over the years in the search for his daughter, who was 23 when she went missing. He declined to comment.

Family friend Robert O'Neil said he hoped this time to find some answers. Volunteers known as Team Christina have concentrated their search in the Anna area since Arochi's trial. They meet nearly every weekend. Their most recent search was Saturday.

"If Christina is not with us any more, we want her to be found so her family can have some closure," he said.

Paul Thomas often goes hunting on the land where the remains were found. He said he even went searching for Morris on his own after hearing about her disappearance on the news. He said he looked along what was then a newly installed sewer line and checked every manhole on the west side of the creek.

"It's disturbing," he said of Wednesday's discovery.

Marietta Schell has lived on Taylor Boulevard near where the body was found since 1984. She said the area near the trees is very secluded and people trespass there regularly. One time she even ran into the volunteers from Team Christina.

"They were so close," Schell said of the searchers. "That's what's really sad."

UPDATED: MAR 08 2018 12:26PM CST

Human remains found on Wednesday in Collin County are Christina Morris, sources tell FOX4.

A press conference by Plano police is set for Thursday afternoon to discuss the case.

The remains were found in an area where authorities searched extensively for Morris after she disappeared on August 30, 2014. She was last seen with a one-time acquaintance, Enrique Arochi, leaving the Shops at Legacy in Plano.

Arochi is now serving a life sentence for her kidnapping. Prosecutors said her DNA was in the trunk of his car, but he has denied any wrongdoing.

The remains were found in an area where new homes are being built in Anna. Andy Mitchell and his brother were part of the crew clearing brush from the swath of land when something got his attention.

“You could just see really up on the hillside over there up in a little opening, there was a skull laying there,” he said.

Mitchell said the skull was near what appeared to be a woman’s dress and undergarments.

“You hope the family has closure,” Mitchell said. “My first instinct was to pray for the individual and hope that they are Christian and that they are home.”

Anna Remains Preliminarily Identified as Christina Morris; Mother Places Flowers Where Remains Found
Plano police will host news conference at 4:30 p.m. Thursday; vigil to be held Thursday night

Published 4 hours ago | Updated 12 minutes ago

While awaiting confirmation from the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office, rumors swirl about the identity of the person found after the mother of a missing woman arrived at the scene with flowers. (Published 2 hours ago)

Remains preliminarily identified as Christina Morris, a 23-year-old woman presumed dead since she disappeared Aug. 30, 2014.
The Collin County Medical Examiner's Office will confirm the person's identity and cause of death.
Field had been searched previously in Morris investigation; nearby cell tower pinged convicted kidnapper's phone after her disappearance.
Officals are expected to hold a news conference at about 4:30 Thursday. Live video from that news conference will appear in the player above.

Skeletal remains unearthed Wednesday in a field in Anna have been preliminarily identified as Christina Morris, a 23-year-old woman who has been presumed dead after being reported missing in August 2014.

Morris' mother, Jonni McElroy, placed flowers at the site Thursday morning where the remains were found.

While the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office has not officially confirmed the identity of the remains, evidence found at the scene is believed to have assisted in the identification process.

Morris was last being seen leaving The Shops at Legacy with friend Enrique Arochi on Aug. 30, 2014. Following Morris's disappearance, Arochi maintained that after he walked into the parking garage with Morris that the two separated and he never saw her again. Investigators later found Morris's DNA in Arochi's trunk; he was eventually sentenced to life in prison for her kidnapping.

Should the remains be confirmed by the medical examiner to be Morris, and should her cause of death be ruled homicide, officials have not yet said what that may mean for Arochi.

Investigators returned to the field Thursday morning to continue their investigation after multiple police departments guarded the area overnight.

Officials said Wednesday the partial skeleton was found by a crew clearing brush and doing excavation work in a field along the 1800 block of Taylor Boulevard, about a mile east of U.S. Highway 75.

The field is less than a mile from a cell tower that pinged Arochi's phone the day after Morris disappeared, The Dallas Morning News reported; officials confirmed the area was searched at least once before during the investigation into Morris' disappearance.

Vigil Planned for Thursday Night
Neighbors in the Anna neighborhood near where the remains were found are planning a prayer vigil for Thursday night.

"I hope to see the street filled, obviously, and just neighbors coming together and expressing love and concern and compassion for a person we don't know. But we're all brothers and sisters in Christ, and I just need to feel that with my neighbors," said Lekeita McMillan.

The vigil will begin at about 7:30 p.m. at the corner of Mesquite and Sweet Gum, north of Taylor Boulevard in Anna.

Christina Morris case: Police confirm remains are those of Texas woman missing since 2014

PLANO, Texas -- Plano police have announced skeletal human remains found in a brush area along a creek in nearby Anna, Texas, are those of Christina Morris, a 23-year-old Fort Worth woman who's been missing since 2014. Police Chief Gregory Rushin's Thursday announcement comes one day after a construction crew discovered the remains.

Her family spoke publicly from the Plano Police Department, asking for privacy now that they finally have time to heal, CBS DFW reports.

Calling it the "worst day of our lives," Christina's mother Joni Hare spoke of the 2,185 days that have passed since her daughter was last seen alive. Another one of Christina's relatives thanked all the people who have helped the family during their ordeal — from volunteer searchers, law enforcement, local media and many, many more from all over the country and globe.

SNIP

CBS DFW reported that on Thursday morning friends and members of Christina's family, including her mother, arrived at the scene where the remains were found. The group of women carried flowers and later stood hugging and consoling each other.

The remains were discovered on Wednesday after an excavation crew began clearing brush for a new housing development. Andy Mitchell told CBS DFW that he and his brother were checking on the progress on the development project when they came across the bones and some other items. "It appeared to be some clothing laying there, but we didn't dig around because we knew they [police] would do their own investigation and we didn't want to hinder it in any way," he said.

Christina Marie Morris
July 25, 1991 - August 30, 2014

(https://www.turrentinejacksonmorrow.com/files/PageMult/271_271_Morris_Christina_OBIT.jpg)

Christina Marie Morris was born July 25, 1991, in Wylie, Texas. She grew up in Allen, Texas and graduated from Allen High School in 2009.  Christina was a 2013 graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas where she received a bachelor’s degree in marketing.

To know Christina, you need to know her favorite quote by idol James Dean: “Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.”

Although she was taken from us far too soon, just one month after celebrating her 23rd birthday, Christina continues to change countless lives for the better. She is greatly missed and will never be forgotten.

Christina lived life to the fullest and always encouraged people to be the best possible version of themselves. She embraced everyone’s uniqueness, often recognizing their potential even when they didn’t. Christina always pushed others to fulfill their dreams and never give up.

She was always ready to make people laugh, either with silly faces or crazy costumes. And then there was the way she told stories, transforming the most mundane things into animated tales of wild adventures. To Christina, there were no small things. Everything was important.

The young woman with a dazzling smile and big hugs never met a stranger. Her happiness was big. Her sadness was big. Everything in life was big.

Ask friends to describe her and you’ll hear a wide range: goofy, quirky, fashionista, stubborn, fun-loving, passionate, energetic, strong, creative, active, open, summer-loving, spunky and driven. She strived to do her best in everything she did. There was always a sense of urgency about her. She was a tiny girl but had the biggest heart.

“She was the epitome of a true friend and one of the most genuine people I have ever met,” one friend said.

To her friends: Christina continues to speak to us. Listen for her voice and hear her pushing you to be the very best you. Never underestimate what you’re capable of achieving. She is never far away, and she’ll always be your biggest cheerleader.

We can’t fill this empty space that she’s left in our hearts, but we can keep her spirit alive. Make someone smile for her today. Lend a helping hand.

And don’t stop saying her name. Tell her stories. Laugh. And be proud and thankful to have been a part of her life.

Her disappearance on Aug. 30, 2014, brought together a diverse group of people who have become a family. They embody her selfless spirit and her “never give up” attitude, and are affectionately known as Team Christina. After three and a half years spent searching, posting flyers, and praying, Christina was found March 7, 2018, in Anna, Texas.

Survivors include her parents, Mark and Anna Morris of Allen and Jonni Hare of Tyler; sister, Sarah Estes and brother-in-law Patrick Estes of Carrollton; brother, Jacob Morris of Allen; grandparents, David and Linda Morris of McKinney,  Carol and Ben Reynolds of Tyler, Carol and John Hare of Sanford, Florida and Vikki Marshall of Tatum; aunts and uncles, Tracy and Rob Danly of Little Elm, Bobbi and Joseph Ferrandino of Valparaiso, Indiana, Jill Thurman and Hunter Hubbard of Enterprise, Florida, Ronald and Stephanie Shivers of Las Vegas, Nevada, Donald and Shanon Shivers of Fort Mill, S.C., Dora and Daniel Brindle of Merritt Island, Florida, Peggy and Chris Marlette of Sanford, Florida and Kayraen Reeks of Marshall; her beloved beagle, Madden; and many dear cousins and best friends.

A public celebration of life and joy will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, April 21, 2018 at First Baptist Church in Allen. A private burial service will be at Ridgeview Memorial Park in Allen at a later date.

Memorials may be made in her honor to First Baptist Church in Allen or a charity of your choice.

“Make the most of the time you have and don’t sweat the little things,”

Christina once wrote. “Life is too short.”
