Overview
- Saturday Night Live writer Jimmy Fowlie said Wednesday that detectives told his family Christina Lynn Downer is no longer alive and have reclassified the investigation as a homicide.
- Police previously listed Downer’s last known location as Koreatown in Los Angeles and said she was last contacted on December 10, 2025 by text.
- Fowlie said the family believes her phone and social media were taken over to ask for money and to push a false story that she chose to go off the grid.
- He urged anyone with information to contact the LAPD at 213-996-1800 using case number 25237639 and said he will step back from social media while investigators proceed.
- Downer was 38 at the time she vanished and was described as 5-foot-1 with brown hair and brown eyes, and her family noted she was often with her miniature pinscher, Rex.
