Missing in Missouri: The Vanishing of Christina Whittaker
A young mother goes missing after getting kicked out of a bar and being left in the cold by her friends.
In her hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, Christina Whittaker was spending an evening out with friends when she suddenly vanished. Christina wasn’t reported missing until 24 hours later. By then, crucial time had passed which made finding her nearly impossible.
Over the years, several searches have been conducted in an effort to find any clues to Christina’s disappearance, but nothing significant has ever been found.
The mystery continues to this day in “Missouri’s most charming town.”
It was the 13th of November 2009 and Christina was a brand-new mom raising her baby girl, Alexandria. She had arranged for her boyfriend, Travis Blackwell, to babysit so she could go out with friends for the first time since giving birth to her daughter. Travis agreed to watch the infant at Christina’s mother’s house. He gave his girlfriend a ride to Rookie’s Sports Bar at 611 Broadway just before 9 p.m.
Her friends met her there, but by the end of the night, none of them would know what happened to her.
