Christina Morris vanished in the summer of 2014. The case took three years to solve. The boyfriend of the Texas woman was named as the first suspect.
Although investigators believe they know who kidnapped Texas woman,
Christina Morris, they have been unable to locate her for a long time.
The disappearance of a Texas woman has garnered so much public attention that
Dateline: Secrets Uncovered, which premiered on Oxygen on January 31, 2023, uncovered the terrifying case of Christina Morris.
Here is every detail known about the missing person and the subsequent murder case.
Dateline Christina Morris’s Disappearance
Christina Morris vanished on August 30, 2014.
She was last seen alive on security footage in Plano’s The Shops at Legacy.
Christina Morris’ friend Steven Nickerson told Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz how the latter chose to drive home at around 3:30 a.m.
Morris was last seen on August 30, 2014, in the early morning hours.
Morris and a group of friends drank in Plano, Texas, according to Nickerson.
She opted to drive because she wasn’t too inebriated.
However, the video showed the 23-year-old entering the parking garage
of the wealthy suburban shopping mall with her buddy, Enrique Arochi.
Morris had recently moved to Fort Worth and was returning for Labor Day weekend.
Morris and Arochi were spotted on CCTV after a night out at 3:55 a.m.
Arochi’s automobile, a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, was seen exiting the parking garage three minutes later, but Christina was never seen again.
Three days later, police discovered her car in the same garage.
Hunter Foster, Christina Morris’s boyfriend, was arrested.
The original suspect for investigators was Christina Morris’ boyfriend,
Hunter Foster. He was said to have been obstructive during the investigation, but he later offered a solid alibi.
Foster even named two persons he claimed to have been out with on the night Christina went missing.
Following additional investigation, authorities ruled him out as a suspect.
Later, cell tower data flipped the script.
One hour later, police discovered Morris and Arochi’s phones were still closed;
he departed the parking lot in his 2010 Chevrolet Camaro on the day the former went missing.
Detectives later discovered a mat in Arochi’s car with Morris’ DNA in the trunk.
Three months later, based on the evidence, police apprehended him and charged him with aggravated kidnapping.
In September 2016, the trial in Arochi’s case began.
After 17 hours of deliberation and taking into account the prosecution’s evidence,
a jury found him guilty of aggravated kidnapping in the 2014 disappearance of Christina Morris.
By claiming that the evidence was circumstantial and lacked “proof of what, when, where, or how,” his defense attempted to disprove the prosecution’s case.
Enrique Arochi was found guilty of the allegations made against him during the trial and sentenced to life in prison.
Christina Morris has gone missing.
Two years after Christina Morris went missing, Enrique Arochi was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
However, no trace of the missing individual or her body could be found.
As a result, the police continued to search Christina’s body.

Enrique Arochi insisted on his innocence prior to the discovery.
He further claimed that Christina Morris was still alive and that his conviction was unfair.
