Christi Jo Nichols

She had two young children. A life she was preparing to reclaim. And a quiet strength that so many survivors carry.

On December 10, 1987, Christi Jo Nichols vanished from her home in Gothenburg, Nebraska. She was just 22 years old. Christi had made plans. She was preparing to leave her husband and start fresh—with her children.

But she never got the chance.

The next morning, her husband reported her missing. Blood was found in the home. Blood was found in the car. DNA confirmed it was Christi’s. Weeks earlier, she’d gone to the emergency room, her body covered in bruises. She had told people she was ready to leave. And then—she was gone.

Months later, her purse and suitcase were found abandoned at a rest stop, as if someone wanted it to appear like she ran away. But she didn’t. She was taken.

There’s been evidence. There’s been silence. But there has never been justice. No one has ever been charged in connection to Christi’s disappearance.

Her children grew up without their mother. Her family has waited in agony for nearly four decades. And still, they wait.

Christi was more than the bruises. More than the headlines. She was a mother. A daughter. A woman who tried to survive.

And she is one of All the Lost Girls.

Because Christi deserves more than memory—she deserves truth.
