113: MISSING: Christi Jo Nichols

**If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. You can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). You can also chat at TheHotline.org or text START to 88788. All three options are available 24/7, free, and completely confidential. There are additional resources on the Hotline’s website, including safety planning tools and guides for supporting loved ones.**

On December 10, 1987, 22-year-old Christi Jo Nichols met with a domestic violence counselor to talk about the abuse she was facing at home.

That night, Christi and her husband, Mark, took their two young children out for dinner and photos with Santa. Afterward, they brought the kids home then went to the bar where Christi worked. It was the last time anyone ever saw her.

The next morning, Christi was gone, but her car and all of her belongings were still at home. Blood was later found inside the house and in Mark’s car, yet he insisted she left on her own.

More than three decades have passed, and Christi has never been found. But her family is still searching, waiting for the answers that will finally bring her home.
