My mom, before she passed, said, don't let this go.

There's people out there that know stuff. We know they know stuff. It generated a lot of things, but there was nothing, never anything that was concrete enough.

Has been captured. I was finishing eating dinner one night and I saw the case of the Golden State Killer. And I stopped and listened to that.

Years and years later, a genealogy site? And my first reaction was, why can't they do something like that with Christy?

It was gut-wrenching. You know, I went through those images over and over with people I've ran into in my lifetime and people she knew.

I looked and I saw a number and my stomach turned. The number was in my cell phone, but I haven't seen that number in years. They told me there's been a break in the case and they made an arrest.

It was unbelievable. I took a deep breath, and it just felt like all that stuff that was pushing on me for all them years just kind of fell away.

I was kind of blown away when I walked into the room because there was a big picture of Christy sitting in the front of the room. It kind of caught me off guard.

Couldn't believe it. That this person, who supposedly committed this crime, is just living his life the way he lived his life. Still can't believe it.

No, not at all. He was out there living his life longer than she lived her life, doing what he was doing. If...

She always was funny, very talkative, very opinionated. I think she would make a room kind of lighten up if it was down.

I mean, knowing her and talking about how secure she was, I just felt deep down inside that she knew the person some way or another.

Not having her for 25 plus years, I just want to have her back. Obviously we know that's not gonna happen, but I just wish it could continue where it left off. Those couple days before this all happened, when I last saw her, the teacher that she was, the person that she was, a lot of people missed out on the opportunity that she had to offer to them.

How you doing?

It's nice to see you. You too.

I hope so. How are you doing?

Thank you. Thanks.

They were really good.

Stay positive. and stay on top of it. Don't give up.

Her one goal and dream is that she always wanted to be a school teacher.

It's like any other time. You say goodbye, we'll see you in a couple days, and, you know, assume we would.

The phone rang. My mom was upstairs crying.

And kept calling and calling and calling, and finally when somebody answered her phone at her apartment, they acknowledged themselves as being someone from law enforcement, and that there's been an accident, and she passed.

Yeah, it was always something she was very conscious of. When I went to her apartment to visit her, I knocked, rang the doorbell, and she would make sure it was me before she'd open the door.

Day by day, went by, went by, went by, and nothing.
