On December 14, 1978, six-year-old Christi Lynn Farni testified in front of a grand jury to describe the abuse she suffered from her father. Just hours later, she was reported missing to the Medford, Oregon, police department. Her case is now the oldest unsolved case of a missing child in the entire county.

Christie is white with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was 3’8” and weighed approximately 50lbs. She also spoke with a slight speech impediment, has a burn scar on her chest, and her ears are pierced. As of the recording of this episode, she would be 53 years old.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Medford Police Department at 541-770-4783.
