SHE was a woman of order, apparent from the neatness of her home unit at Kensington Gardens.
There had been no indication of trouble when she spoke to a friend on the phone on June 30.
Five days later the mail was overflowing in her letterbox and the message bank on her telephone was almost full.
She was gone, but her handbag and personal effects were left behind.
A friend reported her missing, but for police that meant almost a week lost in their hunt for leads, making their task even more difficult.
Christine lived alone and did not drive, but had a wide circle of friends through her Job as a grief counsellor and voluntary work with the Salvation Army.
Her bank accounts were untouched and passport checks showed she had not left the country.
There were no clues to her disappearance and no apparent motivation for her to leave and start another life.
She had not made contact with relatives. Christine had a sister and mother in Adelaide, another sister in Perth and a brother in New Zealand.
Police interviewed them all.
A woman who spent her time comforting and helping others had vanished and her disappearance was categorised a major crime with fears she has been murdered.
Sister Carol Bedford said: "If she is dead it would be good to get an answer, just to get it finished.
"It is like she has fallen off the face of the planet.
