Kristen was 18 years old when she vanished in the Bay area from San Francisco. She was visiting the Bay Area between her Freshman and Sophomore years at NC State in Raleigh, NC after receiving a 4-Year Academic Scholarship. Arriving on June 1st, 1997, she vanished 23 days later on June 23rd. Our 'best guess' is that Kristen only met between 35-50 people in those first 23 days and that is important because the FBI says there is a 96.4% changes that when a woman meets with foul play, she somehow knows her assailant. Of course there is no guarantee that this will bear fruit in Kristen's case - but it sure gives us a place to start focusing on.
