Christine was found with several knife wounds on her back as well as a gunshot to her neck. This mixed-method homicide is what led Utah Cold Case Coalition to believe there was more than one killer. 

An autopsy revealed that even though she was stabbed multiple times, the gunshot was the fatal wound.
