It's Erin Moriarty, and we have a special episode for you today from my original podcast, My Life of Crime. I'm taking you inside true crime investigations like no one else, taking on killers and those accused of crimes. Here's an all-new episode of My Life of Crime that takes you deeper into the search for Christie Wilson, follow along as I go beyond the scene of each crime, behind prism walls, and into the killers' inner thoughts. It's all on this season of My Life of Crime. Christie and I, we were young, we were happy, we were enjoying our lives. I never really thought anything like this would have happened to Christie. Your best friend is missing? How could you be missing? The last we know is we see her walking out of Thunder Valley Casino at 1.13 in the morning on October 5th with a man by the name of Mario Garcia, and then she was never seen or nor heard from again. Christie Wilson, blonde, bold California girl, would regularly gamble at a casino in Roseville, California, until one October night in 2005, when she walked out the door of the casino and was never seen by her friends, her family, again. Now, surveillance cameras have captured her leaving the casino with an older man, her family is understandably frantic, and her parents. I want my daughter back and I want her back now. I may be five foot one and blonde, but they've just met a barracuda and the fight's on. That's Deb Boyd, Christie's mom. I met her just days after her youngest daughter went missing. I was part of a 48-hours team that joined the search. I'm her mother forever and I was not going to give up. Please help us. Deb's 27-year-old daughter had never gone off the radar screen like this, disappearing without a trace, and it was certainly not like Christie to go off with an older man like Mario Garcia. Where was Christie and who the heck is Mario Garcia? I'm just going to ask you straight out. Did you kill Christie Wilson? No, I had nothing to do with her disappearance. What happened to her, Mario? How could she simply disappear after she was with you? I don't have answers for that. I'm Erin Moriarty, 48-hours, and this is my life of crime. This is one of those cases that gets under your skin, and I'm going to warn you, there are parts of this story that are quite unnerving, but it's an important story to tell. Was she in an ocean? Was she in a ditch for 15 years? I never went to bed without wondering, where is she? Where did Mario Garcia put her? The fact that the mystery was solved at all is due to that self-described barracuda of a mother, and the dogged determination of a couple of cops, Nuno Tavares. We needed to take the mystery out of this for Debbie and her family. And Don Murchison. We wanted to find her to show Mario you're not going to win. You're not winning this, and we're going to find her and bring her home to the family.
