Los Angeles Police Tuesday asked for the public’s help in finding a missing at-risk 38-year-old woman whose disappearance gained national attention after her brother, a writer for “Saturday Night Live,” appealed for help.
Christina Lynn Downer was last contacted on Dec. 10 through a text message from a friend and has not been heard from since, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
She was last seen in Koreatown, police said.
“Saturday Night Live” writer Jimmy Fowlie shared a social media post Monday asking for help finding his missing sister.
“Please share this so that if anyone has seen her, they can give any information to the police,” Fowlie wrote.
“My sister has been missing and we are worried that she isn’t safe. Her married name is Downer but she may go by Christina Fowlie,” he wrote in the caption.
Since Monday, several “SNL” cast members, including Chloe Fineman, Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman, have shared Fowlie’s post on their Instagram Stories.
Downer was described as a 5-foot-1-inch-tall woman weighing 115 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Police said Downer’s family is becoming increasingly concerned about her well-being because of an unspecified medical condition.
Anyone with information about her whereabouts was urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 213-996-1800. Calls during non-business hours or weekends should be directed to 877-527-3247. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
