Christine Cole, a 10-year-old girl from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, went missing on January 6, 1988. She was last seen at a market buying gum balls and milk. Despite extensive searches and investigations, Christine's body was not found until February 28, 1988, when it was discovered near a riverbank. The autopsy revealed that she died from asphyxiation, but it was unclear whether it occurred before or after she was placed in the water. The case was initially treated as a suspicious death, but later classified as a homicide.In 2019, an arrest was made based on a partial DNA match found on Christine's jeans. However, the state dropped the charges due to the DNA match being a paternal match that could potentially belong to other relatives. The case remains unsolved, and Christine's family continues to seek justice.
