Christina Morris was abducted in 2014, and her remains were found in 2018. Enrique Arochi was convicted in connection with her disappearance.
Christina Morris, a 23-year-old woman, went missing on August 30, 2014, after last being seen in a parking garage at The Shops at Legacy in Plano, Texas. She had been out with friends that night. Surveillance footage captured her walking with an acquaintance, Enrique Arochi, into the garage. After Christina did not return home, her family reported her missing, and a massive search ensued.
Despite extensive efforts to find her, Christina remained missing for years. The case took a significant turn when Arochi, the last person seen with her, was arrested in December 2014 after investigators found Christina’s DNA in the trunk of his car. In 2016, Arochi was tried and convicted of aggravated kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison, even though Christina’s whereabouts were still unknown at the time.
The search for Christina continued until March 2018, when her skeletal remains were discovered in a field in Anna, Texas, about 30 miles from where she was last seen. The discovery brought a tragic end to the search for Christina and provided her family with some closure, although many questions about the circumstances of her death remained unanswered. The case highlighted the persistence of law enforcement and the community in trying to solve missing persons cases and the enduring impact of such tragedies on families and communities.
