Christina Richart

Fourteen-year-old Christina Richart was last seen in the summer of 1999 in Ozark, Arkansas. She was reported missing from Fordyce, Arkansas where her family moved to after she disappeared. Christina was never re-enrolled in school later that fall and hasn't been seen since.

In 1997, she and her two younger brothers went live with their uncle, Charles Richart and his wife, Wanda due to their mother's inability to take care of them. Later that year, one of Christina's brothers was removed from the Richart home due to allegations of Wanda abusing him.

In the spring of 2000, Christina's other brother was removed from Charles and Wanda's home to abuse allegations and was later adopted by another family. The brother's adoptive mother reported Christina's diappearance in 2005.

In February of 2008, Wanda and Charles were charged with making false statements to the authorities about Christina's diappearance. 

During that same year, a woman named Joann Holdman (who lived with the Richarts in 1999) came forward and told the police that Christina was murdered by Wanda, who drowned her in a bathtub. At the time, Joann was 18 years old and pregnant. She didn't come forward about Christina's death because Wanda threatened her and her unborn child's life if she did. 

In June of 2008, Charles pled guilty to conspiring to make a false statement to the FBI, confessing that he buried Christina's body in the Ozark Forest.

In December of 2009, Wanda was found guilty of conspiracy to make a false statement and making a false statement. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A month later, she was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison consecutive to her previous prison sentence.

As of 2023, Christina's body has not been located, but her case is still classified as an endangered missing person and foul play is suspected due to the circumstances involved.
