Christina Voltaire was last seen on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at her Berkshire Apartment on Avenue K Southeast in Winter Haven, Florida. She was wearing a black nightgown. She was born in Haiti and has a Cesarean scar on her abdomen.
At the time of her disappearance, Christina lived alone and a close friend, Charles Pierre-Gilles, also lived in the same complex; he was the brother of Christina's boyfriend, Dieuseul Pierre-Gilles.
Around 7PM, Charles's vehicle broke down and he walked Christina's apartment to ask if he could borrow her car. He told authorities that she told him that she wasn't feeling well and was dressed in a black robe, sitting in bed, drinking tea and doing homework.
Charles claims that he spent a few minutes with Christina before leaving her apartment and locking the door behind him. He then drove Christina's tan 2001 Hyundai Elantra with the Florida license plate LOOHM, back to his car to look over the damage.
Charles claims he was gone no longer than 45 minutes and when he returned to Christina's apartment, she was gone. He noted that her purse, laptop and keys were inside and the robe she was wearing was lying on the bed. He checked the windows in her home, but none of them were opened and there were no signs of a struggle inside the apartment. Charles reported her missing when she failed to report home that night.
A year prior to her disappearance, Christina's one-year old daughter passed away of undetermined causes. Her family stated that she was coping with the death as well as might be expected, and was not suicidal.
Christina planned to move back to Palm Bay, Florida where most of her family lived. She wanted to transfer to the Kaiser University campus and visit her mother in Haiti in the Spring. At the time, Christina didn't own a cellphone or have any credit cards. Her passport is now expired and there is no evidence that she left the country.
Prior to her disappearance, Christina told her father that her boyfriend, Dieuseul was physically aggressive and jealous. She stated she was afraid of him. Dieuseul was previously charged with aggravated assault with a firearm in connection with a 2008 shooting, but he was acquitted.
From the beginning of the investigation, Charles was extremely cooperative with authorities. However, Dieuseul refused to speak with anybody and hired a lawyer.
In a media interview, Dieuseul stated that he and Christina had ended their relationship 8-10 months before she vanished, after he found out he was not the father of her daughter. He maintains his innocence in Christina's case and said he was never abusive towards her. Dieuseul stated he believes that she was romantically involved with his brother, Charles, although Charles denies these claims.
Due to circumstances involved, authorities believe Christina may be in danger. Her case remains active and unsolved.
