Chapter 1: Who is Christine Harron and what happened to her?
The dogs seem calm, and we start talking about Chrissy.
She liked to take stuff apart.
We put it back together to see what made it work. She loved kids. Real bookworm. Loved going for walks into cricks, catching frogs and what have you.
I see Chrissy seeming to watch me through her big glasses in the photos.
I love those glasses.
She hated them.
There was times where other people would pick on her younger brother, Sean, and then Chrissy would be right there sticking up for her brother. Chrissy was right there and punched out a couple of boys that were picking on Sean. This was in public school already. So she could hold her own. She was feisty and when she needed to be.
Sean admits that his relationship with Chrissy was sometimes strained, and he says that he is bipolar and sometimes can be aggressive. But he says that one of his last memories of Chrissy is her helping him replace the spark plugs in his car.
When we started to get closer, she'd come out to the garage and Asked me if she could use my tools. Yeah, they're right there. If I go to help, no, no, she'd want to do it herself.

Chapter 6: What do we know about the suspect in Christine's case?
When she didn't show home, I started phoning her friends and my family just to see if maybe she went to one of her friends' house after school or something.
The story of Christine's case, at least in the beginning, is a familiar one. A teenager leaves home, supposed to be somewhere, school, but never makes it. Local police, investigatively inexperienced, finding nothing and flying in the face of what a mother knows about.
and nobody had seen her or heard from her. So then the family and I, we started going out and looking for her, looking in parks and in the area just to see, you know, if she was someplace else and just hadn't come home yet. We had phoned the police, and they said it was too soon yet to do anything.
What we actually got from the Hanover police chief himself was that his daughter runs away a lot, takes off for days, so mine probably did the same thing. So she never showed home and I sat up all night and waited for her and worried and I even had the feeling too all along that she was down there by the park somewhere.
I kept trying to get them to search more and the church and I, we even got together and formed our own search and we wanted to search down there and they wouldn't let us. They made us go in the opposite direction.
And the town police was very upset when we set that up. They were not impressed. But you had set up a search?
Yes. They didn't want the public to panic.
We were told if we went anywhere near the park that weekend, the very first weekend she disappeared, there would be consequences and repercussions.
Who told you that? The police. The police.
