Sumter mother-of-four missing for three weeks, family asks for help

Feb 21
Officials at the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety (ODPS) say Eckler was last seen at the Motel 6 on US 301 in Orangeburg on February 1, and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Family members told WACH FOX that Eckler was last seen in a light blue 2013 4-door Dodge Avenger with the license plate number TQW467 (ODPS officials put out a flyer that listed the license tag as YQW467, but family members say this is a typo).

Eckler has four kids who are currently staying with their father.

"It's not her nature to just disappear," Collins said.

ODPS officials say Eckler frequents small hotels.

Soon after flyers went out, the family received a call from a woman who claimed to have seen her at a Waffle House in Florence, just off of I-95.

The family says Eckler's phone has been disconnected since February 1 and they appreciate any help they can get.

It’s very out of her norm,” said Eckler’s sister, CP. “She usually calls my mom every single day. Period.

It’s hard for a mother not to hear from your child,” MC said. “Even when she was in the Air Force stationed near Afghanistan she facetimed me at least once a week when she could.

Oh noooooo.

Eckler is a heavy drug user...

 

[MinnyPin]

Oh noooooo.

Eckler is a heavy drug user...

I hope she goes home and gets help. From her FB in 2018 she looked so happy. Drugs can do so much harm

 

[UnapologeticallyAspie]

Oh noooooo.

Eckler is a heavy drug user...

Probably stemming from PTSD from being in Afghanistan. MOO.

... Her mother says she was supposed to visit before she went missing.

"The last time I saw her was on the 30th," explained MC. "I had been talking with her on Facebook messenger, and she was supposed to come to the house on Monday at 1 pm, but she never showed."

[...]

"When she didn't call me after five to six days, that's when we really started to worry about her because that's not like her not to call me," said MC. "She may not call her sisters often, but she called me all the time."

It doesn't look like Christina has been in any recent trouble (or just has not been caught) but 2019 looks like it was a very bad year for her.
