Christine Cole left her home to buy groceries for her mother two days after her 10th birthday.  Her body was discovered 54 days later and the case remained unsolved for more than three decades.  After the case was reopened in 2018, DNA was checked in a database.  The closest match ended up being a man that wasn't born when Christine disappeared.  The DNA matched his father, but criminal charges will not be pursued at this time.
