The remains of a woman who disappeared 22 years ago in northern California have been found after the son of the woman's purported killer guided police to the site where her body was dumped, investigators announced Thursday.
The alleged killer's son told authorities that he watched his father kill 27-year-old Lysandra Marie Turpin in 1988 and that his dad forced him to help dispose of the body, the Humboldt County, California, Sheriff's Office announced.
Ernest Samuel Christie III, who was 16 at the time, told authorities that his now-dead father, Ernest Samuel Christie Jr., made him help dump Turpin's body in a ditch near their home in Fieldbrook, California, about 80 miles south of the Oregon border. Christie said his father forced him to help cover the body with tires, douse it in gasoline and set it on fire, Humboldt County Sheriff Gary Philp said in a statement Thursday.
Christie's dad had held and abused Turpin at his house for several weeks before killing her, Christie told the sheriff's office. She had been reported missing to Humboldt County law enforcement on April 8, 1988.
After Christie supplied the sheriff's office with a map of where the body had been dumped, a team of detectives, evidence technicians, and sheriff's deputies found teeth, clothing and charred bones. A forensic odontologist positively identified the remains as Lysandra Turpin on Wednesday, according to Philp.
Ernest Samuel Christie Jr. died in 2006, according to the sheriff's office. His son, now 38 and living in North Carolina, contacted the sheriff's office in February. He is not facing criminal charges, Philp said.
Christie told authorities that his father had abused other women, once holding a woman prisoner in a hollowed-out redwood tree stump. The woman escaped and declined to report the incident to law enforcement, the sheriff's office said.
Using a description provided by Christie, sheriff's personnel located the stump and found a carpet, plastic jugs, a hypodermic syringe and clothing there, Philp said Thursday.
Christie related other instances of his father -- who he said frequently used methamphetamine -- terrorizing women, Philp said.
Christie told authorities that his dad once took a woman on his fishing boat, tied her up and told her he was going to kill her. The woman managed to escape, and detectives were recently able to find her and corroborate Christie's account, Philp said.

Senoirs 2010
the world we know is about to change
for many people our education will continue
others will just find a job
many of us will never see each other again
internet will be our only means of connection
some are going to the same school
rooming in the same room
a few are wondering off all alone.
memories will never be forgotten
the stories will always be told
for we are the class of 2010

Road Trip 2010
My road trip is going to start out heading south towards South Padre Island. South Padre is 694 miles one way.


South Padre is a place where many teens go to enjoy their spring break. They have many activities, so that people will have plenty to do throughout the week.

While at South Padre, you can go and chill on the beach and enjoy the sun.

After you visit the beach, you have to hit the water and try to surf it up.

After a few days at South padre, I am going to hit the 941 mile trip to Destin, Fl

While in Destin, you have to experience the white sands and the amazing blue water.

After a few days of Destin, I am going on a 1265 mile trip to New York City

Another 790 miles and ill be at Chicago's Navy Pier over looking lake Michigan.

The last stop of the trip will be Las Vegas, it is 1800 miles from chicago.

After our time in Vegas we have the 970 mile trip home.
