She missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and the 4th of July.
She wasn't around for any of her family members' birthdays, or even for her own
birthday in February when she turned 19.
Christian Dawn Starcher Seabolt has missed all these events, and more, in the year
since she disappeared.
She lived in downtown Spencer, in an apartment above the Salvation Army store,
with her mother and 6-year-old brother.
She left the apartment sometime between 8:30 and 9 p.m. Aug. 31 to get a pack of
cigarettes. She hasn't been seen since.
"It's like she dropped off the planet," her mother, Vikki Starcher, said.
She had been known to go off for a few days at a time, but she never failed to stay
in touch. For the past year, the girl who always kept in contact with her family
hasn't made a single phone call home.
"She's missed a whole lot," said her mother, including her brother Alex's seventh
birthday.
